Film Review – X-Men Origins – Wolverine (2009)

Posted on May 31, 2010 by Brad

THE GOOD: The X-Men franchise took a creative u-turn with the third installment, sacrificing story for lots of noise and action in start contrast to the first two films. “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, despite it clumsy title, has a stronger story to tell this time around in focusing on the character of Wolverine.

This is saying nothing of the coverage HSM has received in the entertainment magazines I read or even the news programming I view.

Military Costumes For Armed Forces Day

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Brad

Armed Forces Day occurs each and every year on the third Saturday of May (Tomorrow, May 15th this year). This national day of honor was created to salute the loyalty and hard work of American troops in every branch of the military – Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard. Up until 1949, each branch of the armed forces had their own day of celebration. Unifying these days of tribute into one event, Armed Forces Day was proclaimed to be a national day by President Harry Truman on February 20, 1950. Continue reading →
