iPad App Review: Avengers Origins: Hulk
by Mike Favila, Reviewer
After reading the fun Avengers Origins: Assemble! (read my review here), I was curious to see if there would be any major differences in the pacing of this app. With the same writer (Rich Thomas) and the same excitable narrator (Stan “The Man” Lee), would this just be more of the same? Amazingly, I found a more intereresting, engaging adventure.
iPad App Review: Avengers Origins: Assemble!

With the upcoming theatrical release of the inevitable blockbuster The Avengers, Marvel have released two apps to tie in which should appeal to a younger audience.

Blu-ray Review: The Three Musketeers

DVD Review: Project Nim
by Mike Favila, Reviewer
After seeing Planet of the Apes in its many (and sometimes unwatchable) incarnations, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would this real life film on a champanzee raised as a human being be just as entertaining? Project Nim was spearheaded by James Marsh, the acclaimed director of Man On Wire, so I had a feeling this would be a documentary I could actually watch and enjoy in one sitting.
