Movies: The Amazing Spider-Man
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve watched Spidey on screen; it’s about time to post a review, since The Batman review”s following on my heels. Also: it’s Spider-Man, not Spiderman.

Shows: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
Watching Avatar: Legend of Korra was never at the top of my list of priorities for many reasons: I had no time, no one in my immediate circle was honestly raving about its awesomeness (though now, at this point, I’ve discovered some fans lurking about), and most importantly I was afraid of being disappointed.

BOOKS/COMICS/WOAH
Isn’t this just exciting? :) Also, I finally finished reading Huxley’s Brave New World. After several months, the case of a missing book, donating to the library and finding a Php 60.oo copy in Booksale, I have finally reached its end. Once again, a dystopian classic depressed me. I will ‘revisit’ (get it?) it in…
