Movie Review: Avengers

2012-05-15T08:17:00.000-04:00

I have to admit that Marvel Superheroes have never been my favorite. That said, all the X-Men films, Iron Man, and Spiderman films (with the exception of the 3rd film) have been top notch. I also liked the first Blade movie. I've always thought that Thor was silly. I've never liked Captain America. I didn't like either of the Hulk movies. I don't even consider Hawk or Black Widow superheroes.

What you are looking at is two pictures of the "Smartphone" Motorola Atrix laptop docking station. Actually, let me correct that … what you are looking at is a plastic model with NO ACTUAL parts from the "thing" you are going to get to dock your Motorola "smartphone" running Android. Apple stores have the iPad 2 on display where you can touch actual product. Most stores, even Walmart, have
