Summer Flicks

Summer is coming and that means the box office blockbusters get their chance to shine.
And that means that one of my favorite franchises, X3, will be making it's way to a cineplex near you.

The X-Men is one of my favorite comics of all time, and seeing it on the big screen in all it's mutant glory is a real treat for yours truly. Even without wunderkind Bryan Singer leading the helm, the film is sure to be a smash, especially knowing that my heroine, my namesake, Phoenix, will be reappearing in this third and final installment. This is the woman that got me interested in comics and X-Men to begin with, and led the way to me seeking strong female characters in movies, t.v. and animation. Judging by the previews, it looks like they have done her justice.

So grab a popcorn, a Diet Coke and your best buddy and enjoy the show.
It's sure to be a wild ride.
