So, the big question is: Was Spider-Man’s third solo movie worth the … More Grumpy Bird Review: Spider-Man: No Way Home
I am unbelievably late to this party. Generally speaking I try and see the Marvel movies soon after opening. I made sure to see Endgame its opening night. It helps to avoid spoilers and all that. But, for a few reasons I did not get around to seeing Far From Home for ages. In fact, … More The One Thing About Spider-Man: Far From Home I didn’t Like
Today I did a little shuffling of my schedule in order to be able to watch the mid-Afternoon showing of this flick. I saw it with a friend and the moment it ended we went to one of our favorite pubs and spent about an hour and two pints apiece talking about this movie.

I just finished up a whole mess of grade reports for the end of the school year over here in jolly Japan. There were a few students who I really wanted to achieve more than they did.

And now I am trying to get the reviews out before I forget what happened where. The Punisher s01e02 Two Dead … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: The Punisher s01e02 Two Dead Men
You ever look for something new to watch and get surprised at what is available? That is what happened when I saw that The Punisher, the latest Marvel/Netflix joint, is out. I made a little time and put the show on. With a bit of trepidation, I should add. Let’s go. The Punisher s01e01 3 … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: The Punisher s01e01 3 AM
I had a few hours between the end of work and the beginning of a work party the other day, so i figured it was a good chance to check out the latest Marvel offering on the big screen.
