Review - Iron Man 2

I walked into the theater to see Iron Man 2 with mixed feelings – everybody I knew who saw the movie at the Thursday midnight release thought it was OK at best. Some of the comments were substantially more demeaning. On the other hand, I had my own confidence that as long as they stuck to what made the original a great movie, I’d leave the theater happy.

My Extended Hiatus

Soooo... many of my more regular readers have been wondering where I've been as of late. Prior to my Awakenings review, it had been over a month since I last posted anything on the site. Well... It's complicated. I've been slammed at work, working all kinds of silly hours. Plus...

Wait for it.

I'm contributing regularly to Terry's site ColonelEZ.net. Go ahead and check it out if you get the chance. Its a kick ass site, and we pretty much bide our time writing TV reviews. I contribute two weekly columns, reviews of both SGU and V. Additionally, Terry and I record a weekly SGU-themed podcast, which you can also find on the site. I'm told we're quite amusing.

And if that wasn't enough, the site also hosts some fantastic interviews with the cast of the show. Trust me, they rock.

There you have it. The excuse for my extended absence. Not much, I know, but it's something, right? My plans for the future involve more heavily investing time into writing on this here blog, so stay tuned for some updates coming your way very soon.
