X-Men vs. Spider-Man

Welcome to the debut of my monthly "Movie Match-Up" series where I put two movies head to head to see which one would come out on top. For this first time feature I have chosen the two big comic book blockbusters in a battle for Marvel supremacy. Will the time travelling mutants prevail or will the rebooted web slinger come out on top?

Seattle International Film Festival - The Opening Night Experience

To begin my second year covering the Seattle International Film Festival, I chose to take in all the glitz and glamour of the Opening Night Gala as a ticket holder rather than as a member of the press.

Out of the movies I watched during the 2013 calendar year, these are the ones that affected me more than any other whether it be comedy, action, drama, fantasy, or any other genre.
