Quick Update

I realized this morning, as the calendar turned to May, that it has been over a month since my last posted review.  Some of you may already know that I have picked up a part-time job.  This has cut into my free time substantially.  I haven't been to a theater in a few weeks, which is abnormal for me.  Granted, not all of that time was due to the part-time, some was due to there not being much out that I was interested in.  In any event, with what free time I have had, I haven't had the energy to work on any reviews.  The last film I saw was Allegiant (the third installment of the Divergent series), and as you can see, I have yet to get a review written for it.

I just wanted to let those who check in regularly know that I do plan on continuing to post in this space, it just won't be nearly as frequent as it has been in the past.  Right now I'm trying to determine when I might be able to find time to check out Captain America: Civil War next week as that's the next film that I'm really looking forward to.

When I do get future reviews posted, links will be shared on Facebook, Google +, and Twitter as they usually are.  As always, thanks for checking out my little corner of the web!

Crime Corner Daredevil Discussion with Jess and Taylor on Omnidog's Vault!

Image
Those who follow my social media accounts are likely already aware, but this past Wednesday night I was a guest on the Omnidog's Vault YouTube channel's LIVE Crime Corner show! We discussed the modern classic Daredevil runs of Brian Michael Bendis/Alex Maleev and Ed Brubaker/Michael Lark.  It was a ton of fun and fortunately my WiFi waited until just about the very end before acting up and dropping my connection (apologies for the technical difficulties) These are two of my favorite runs produced by a handful of my favorite creators and it was great to chat with Jess and Taylor about them.  You can watch the discussion here or by visiting Omnidog's Vault on YouTube (which you should do, because there's a ton of great content there). Thanks again to Jess and Taylor for the invite, hopefully we can talk more DD in the future!

Trailer Talk - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

Image
It won't come out until November 22, but earlier this week we got our first look at The Hunger Games: Catching Fire , the second film in the franchise based on the best selling trilogy of novels by Suzanne Collins. It has been a couple of years since I read the books, but if memory serves correctly, this initial teaser seems to follow the book as closely as the first film did.  This is great news.  That fact along with an excellent cast were the reasons behind The Hunger Games being such a strong adaptation in the first place.  The surviving cast returns along with the addition of a second Oscar winner in Philip Seymour Hoffman.  The folks behind The Hunger Games films must love the fact that they locked Jennifer Lawrence in when they did.  She has since gone on to win an Oscar herself (Best Actress just a couple of months ago).  I'm sure her rate of compensation will change now that she's got a much larger profile, but the fact that their quadrilogy of films is being
