Around the Web w/ CAPTAIN AMERICA: The Winter Soldier
You know me and war movies, even comic book depicted war I try to avoid as much as possible, so I wasn’t interested in seeing Captain America The First Avenger when it came out in 2011. And the first Thor movie, well, I just kinda let it pass for no real good reason (I’m caught up now). Originally, I was mostly only into Iron Man, mainly due to my love for Robert Downey, Jr.,. Then later, The Avengers movie looked like a hoot, so I definitely wanted and did see that in the theater; which clued me in on how intertwined the whole Marvel Universe is throughout each movie,…

Guest Blogger – Mark Nadler: I’m A Stranger Here Myself Review
In one of my former lives, I actually had a job I rather enjoyed. It was being a Cabaret hostess for AMTF’s (Former name of the Prince Theater) Cabaret series at the Bellevue hotel. It was a glam job. I got to dress up, introduce the performer and spend time in an elegant and sophisticated setting. Not to mention, free desserts and champagne!

We had an acquaintance then, but got to be friends later, when coincidentally, I joined the same church where they were already members. When the opportunity came up to see…

April 16-27, 2013 (Lower Manhattan) POST UPDATE 3/29/14: Well, now I’m super bummed because I got turned down for press credentials to #TFF2014. I heard they simply aren’t accepting as many bloggers as they have in past years. I was sent an invitation from Tribeca to throw my hat in the ring, as it were, on December 21, 2013. You’d think they could let you know before March 21st., that’s just so late to put things in order, so I was proceeding as if it were a done deal. Plus, that’s what all the self-help, philosophy, Laws of Attraction, “Depak Chopras’s” of the world, always say – the Universe responds…

DIVERGENT (1 of 3 Franchise)
Our fierce, loyal, full of bravery and heart heroine of this futuristic time is named Beatrice (Shailene Woodley), but upon starting her new “Dauntless” life, she changes it to Tris. Okay, we’re going to need a… T&T Synopsis: Like most stories set in the not too distant future, the aftermath of a terrible war precipitated the need to form a new society (and who knows with the whole Putin/Crimea annexed thing, this future may not be too far off). This new society living behind a wall, which we know not what lay on the other side, decided it best to divide people up into 5 categories or Factions: Government…
