New Shows i have recently seen

A while back i did an article called three new shows i have seen

Three new shows i have recently seen

Now it is time to do some more i just got through viewing

No Ordinary Family (ABC)
when i first heard about this show i will admit i did have a lot of faith in it but i also had my doubts i mean a show about a family of people who get super powers, it sounds like pixar's The Incredible's. but i am happy to say that after five episodes it is nothing like that. This is a comedy about a family learning about these new abilities while also going through the every day life. Jim, and clair are the mother and father Jim has super strength and Clair has super speed they are just trying to keep their family together and sane, Daphne the daughter can read minds and is just starting to see the benefits of this new ability and it's dark side. JJ is the son who got super intelligence and is now getting good grades but moving up the social ladder in high school. each member of this family before had problems and the powers didn't really make them go away. This is a great show and being a comic fan it is great to have a adult comic book themed show on tv.

The Avenger's Earth Mightiest Heroes Disney (XD)
Back in the 1990's there was another avengers cartoon who did not do a good job of getting the team right. The new one did, it has the original team, Thor, Iron man, Wasp, Ant man, Hulk. We also know that Captain America will be on the team eventually and that there is a good probablity that Hawk eye will be too. This show takes the avengers i know and gives us a show that all the fans of the series deserves, and one that new comers will enjoy. if you are not a comic fan you might want to pass this one up but if you have nothing to watch on a Wednesday night or if your are curious check it out you will not be disappointed.

well that is all for now i will be back soon with the Walking dead from AMC, and the Cape on NBC

the holidays are upon us.

Hello all
With Halloween just around the corner it is fair to say that the holiday season will be coming right up. Which mean it is coming to that time of year again. The shopping, turkey, Christmas lights, and joy. I have always loved the holiday's but sometimes it seems people have forgotten what they are mean to be about. Nowadays it seems it should be all about the shopping. No, it is about getting together with your family, enjoying their company, it is about celebrating a great mans birthday(at least for me it is) it is also about looking back on the year and looking forward to a new one. so this holiday season don't get all bogged down by the shopping and the materialism of the season. Just be happy to be near family and friends cause when they are gone you will miss them and not some shiny new thing.

DVd Review Iron Man 2 Standard Edition

Hello all
I just recently bought the no frills version of the Iron Man 2 DVd and let me say it was okay. First off this DVd has no special features other than commentary so if that is your thing you may want to get the special edition or even the blu ray edition for those, however, the movie is very well made. First off the story has kicked up notch this time around and while there were moments where it should not have been humorous there were truly great moments. Secondly for fans of the Avengers, Thor, and Captain America there are little segments through the movie that pay homage to these heroes. If you are a fan of these comic you will know them if you look for them, if not they will pas you buy however for the fans they are great to see. Secondly, the effects are top notch and the character are well done. While i was concerned that the removal of Terrance Howard wit the replacement of Don Cheadle, i was glad to be wrong still there were moments that expected to see Terrance Howard reprise his role, however by the end of the movie cheadle had earned the right to be the War Machine. The movie is top notch and great. So if you are into the movie more than the special feature get this edition, if you want special feature get the special edition either way you are getting a good movie.

7 out of ten stars
