5 Superheroes Too Stupid To Be Avengers
The Avengers hit the silver screen this year with fantastic success. Billed as "The Earth's Mightiest Heroes"; Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, The Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye join forces to save the world from Loki and an evil alien menace. While four of these superheroes have had their own movies and are easily recognizable to even non-comic book fans, there were many other superheroes too stupid to be Avengers and that did not fare so well in making the Avenger's tryout. This is actually amazing, because the Avengers will take almost anyone as a team member. Since 1963, there have been 188 different characters in the comic series. How could you NOT be in the Avengers if you have a super power? Well, these are the heroes that are so absurd that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) didn't have on speed dial to save the earth in times of trouble. After seeing them, you'll know why...

Five Of The Worst Superhero Movies Ever Made. Ever.
With the huge wave of good superhero movies this year, it is easy to overlook some of the really bad ones that have been made throughout the years. There have been so many truly awful movies made it is a wonder how the movie studios got the go-ahead to produce the higher quality ones like Iron Man, Batman Returns, and Captain America. Luckily, the execs have looked past failure and continued to make great films. Here are five superhero movies that should never have been made. Note: I am a comic book purist and this list reflects this. Read more...

5 Reasons Why You Should See Captain America
I don't usually review movies on this blog, but I am going to make an exception in this case. Captain America: The First Avenger was released this week and it is a movie that no one should miss. It stars Chris Evans (who played the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies) and he does a wonderful job as America's first superhero. The movie is moving, good spirited, and has a fantastic plot. So get off your couch, grab the kids and take them to see this movie if you haven't seen it. If you have, I'd go to another showing to catch the parts you missed. Here are five reasons for you to go. (NO SPOILERS BELOW) Read more...
