When I turned thirteen, I joined a youth fraternity that was aimed at young men. The organization does a tremendous amount of good work in the communities where a chapter is located. The people who belonged as young men have gone on to be some of the most respected men of their communities. Some have even obtained national and international status. I was told when I was being recruited for the group … more

I vote for the Kingpin. He had no special powers and never killed or threatened anyone close to Spiderman but he was realistic and a pain in the side for both Spidey and Daredevil.

I don't know. I always liked Dr. Octopus and Venom. A lot of good ones. I'd hope they could sneak Shocker in as some minor foe to trump at the begining of a movie

The book by Peter Boulle is quite different in many respects to the resultant films and TV series – The Planet of the Apes! If you've seen the film (and who hasn't?) then you know the story of Charlton Heston's crew, crashing on a planet run by apes and through various adventures finds at the end [Spoiler for the two or three who have not seen … more

I really liked the first few installments of the Diana Gabaldon books (Outlander series) with Claire and Jamie. These books reminded me a lot of the time travels of Barnabas Collins and Victoria Winters … more

"Bitter is the New Black" by Jen Lancaster - Definitely not a typical rom/com at all, but the relationship between Lancaster and her husband is very funny and sweet. The Shopaholic Series also...goofy … more

She's eye candy and a great dancer. But her voice is very annoying and sounds more like sugar-coated, suggestive cooing than singing.

I will be the first to say that thus far this series was a little dry and boring compared to others out there. The drama and action are really stepped up 100% in this book where the town of Morganville is ripping its self apart between two vampire factions and the human mobs. This book holds tons of twists and turns and some very compelling chapters that make you want to read on where the previous … more

Starts quite well and really picks up especially in season 3-5. One good thing it does extremely well is the portrayal of Clark's parents and of Lex Luthor. I've never seen Luthor this dark, briliant, methodical and calculating in any of the Superman movies. However, after the departure of Rosenbaum (and the departure of the Luthor character), the series slowly took a nosedive. It succumbs … more

(A quick tip to whet your appetite. Not the best of the trilogy at all! - See the full review HERE, complete with a Book Trailer.) *** MINOR SPOILERS *** In the first book, Katniss was written as an unselfish girl who went to the Hunger Games as a tribute to District 12 in place of her little sister.

*** MINOR SPOILERS *** In the first book, Katniss was written as an unselfish girl who went to the Hunger Games as a tribute to District 12 in place of her little sister. This was a selfless act. Her fighting in the arena and her spontaneous actions were amazing as was her silly flirtations with Peeta and Gale, both of whom were not exactly great catches in themselves. … more

The first book was new and interesting but the second one, Catching Fire, really dropped the ball for me. ** Minor Spoilers ** Katniss is our main character, a 17 year old girl with an unerring aim with the bow & arrow but can't really handle boys, kissing or girl talk. The story starts with her struggle to handle her new-found fame as the winner of the … more
