Synopsis The UN wants to reel in the Avengers after a mission goes somewhat awry when Scarlet Witch doesn't quite control her powers during a fight. Using that and the damage/casualties from previous Avengers big fights as justification, they draft the Sokovia Accords (named after the country the team fought Ultron over in Age of … Continue reading Movie Review – Captain America: Civil War
WWE Releases – Wasted Opportunities
The WWE announced a bunch of releases today, among them King Barrett, Damien Sandow, and former WWE Diva Cameron. None of the names are particularly surprising but Barrett and Sandow are two poster children for the company missing the mark when it comes to pushing people right. Both of these guys could have reached much … Continue reading WWE Releases – Wasted Opportunities

WWE Payback Recap
Pre-Show: Dolph Ziggler vs Baron Corbin Surprising finish here. I think everyone had Ziggler doing the honors and jobbing, and yet......he won with a rollup. Match was ok, but felt a little short as I watched it live. I honestly don't know where this leaves Corbin. He better get a rematch soon to get a … Continue reading WWE Payback Recap

WrestleMania 32 Recap
OK, better late than never here's my WrestleMania report. The show was pretty long and had 11 actual matches (I'm not counting the Rock's segment), more than we've had in a while. As expected Roman Reigns walked out as the champion, much to the chagrin of a lot of people. The show also saw the … Continue reading WrestleMania 32 Recap

Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
Let me start this off by stating very clearly....THIS IS MY OPINION. If you have a different one, that's perfectly fine. I'm saying that because I have seen way too many 'if you like Dawn of Justice, you're a moron!' takes ever since the reviews started coming in. It takes a whole lot for me … Continue reading Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice
A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice
OK, I'm back from seeing Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. I'm not giving a full blown review here because I'm going back next weekend to see it again. If you're dying to know what I think (of course you are, or you wouldn't be joining the two or three other people who are reading … Continue reading A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice
