Review: Iron Man 3

Confession time: I’m not one for superhero movies. Yes, that means I haven’t seen the Nolan Batman trilogy. (I have seen the Clooney and Keaton movies). The last superhero movie I saw was “The Green Lantern.” So I haven’t seen the other Iron Man movies.

But it was Mother’s Day. Well, it was Mother’s Day for my mother. Mother’s Day was too busy for her to enjoy it so we relocated it. And she wanted to go see Iron Man 3 for her day. So, I went.

So, SPOILERS!

Smash: Baring It All

Last week on “Smash”: Julia took Kyle under her wing to help him better shape “Hit List.” Which meant expanding the Diva’s role. Ivy celebrated her birthday with both Tom and then everyone else. He discovered this and was hurt, but Ivy explained they can’t be friends until after Bombshell opens. Jimmy and Karen continue to fool around but Karen tells Derek about them.

SMASH!

Doctor Who: The Power of “Could’ve Been”

The Rings of Ahkaten or “Battle of the Gods”

Merry was a little lamb, who sang a pretty song. The Doctor tried to save her and Clara tagged along. To give a system some relief, Clara ends up sacrificing a very important leaf.

The Doctor spies on a man as he walks down a street. A leaf blows in his face, causing him to collide with a young woman. They laugh, flirt and go out on a date. And the Doctor keeps spying on them. The man gives the woman the leaf, calling it the most important leaf in human history. It’s cheesy but it works. The two get married and have a daughter. And if you haven’t guessed by now, said daughter is Clara. The Doctor runs into them into the park before heading into the TARDIS. Pictures of Victorian!Clara and Oswin are up on the screen. He stares at them, trying to figure out how Clara is possible while we see Clara and her father at her mother’s grave. She clutches the book—places to see—to her chest.

One Life to Live: The Return

Fear not, fellow One Life to Live fans! Our soap hath returned!

It lives online thanks to Prospect Park and has just completed its first week. So, how was it?

So far, I think it’s been a success. The cast is full of veterans, once again led by Erika Slezak as Viki. And the show was wise to open with her and Clint. It was like when the shows start up again in September and we see all those familiar faces again. It also answered one of the cliff hangers from when OLTL signed off in January 2012—Viki accepted Clint’s proposal. Fear not, Buchanan fans, Nigel is still around and working at Llanfair.

Nostalgia Nook: Backstreet Boys

In the 90s, girls were divided into two main factions: those who liked the Backstreet Boys and those who liked N*SYNC. There were smaller factions, much like the independent parties come Election Day. 98ᵒ or another style of music. But let’s go back to the BSB vs. N*SYNC camps. I was a hardcore BSB fan. And I got into my share of fights with the N*SYNC lovers. Why?

Let’s find out, shall we?
