Movies on Demand are great for busy parents giveaway
I love me some Movies On Demand. Twenty years ago I lived near a community that was testing this new technology that would allow them to watch anything they want to.

Brave is not your typical ‘princess’ animated movie
Go see a Disney Pixar movie? Sure thing, I don’t even need to read the plot description, it’s bound to be somewhat along the lines of the others.

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Haywire
If there is a void in the mancave movie genre it’s the lack of art and the absence of strong women. Granted that could also be the appeal of mancave movies. A perfect example of this is The Expendables, which doesn’t pretend to have either of them. With that void in mind Steven Soderbergh made Haywire, starring MMA superstar Gina Carano.

The Avengers is the movie fans want and audiences can enjoy
There are countless ways that The Avengers could have been messed up. It’s the stuff of legendary internet memes, with Lego characters making a bad version of the movie. The casting could’ve been bad-the script could’ve focused too much on one character or ignored others.
