varjohaltiaGot around to reading the "Richard Castle" book Heat Wave. While it wasn't bad, and I've certainly read worse detective novels, I found it incredibly difficult to really like it because I kept contrasting it to the TV show.
Similarly mediocre: Thor. The movie was perfectly well produced, but having no clue about the comic, it became pretty obvious that arrogant young son gets banished to learn humility, which he predictably does, and all ends well. There is also plenty of groundwork for sequels, and liberal dose of SHIELD. Perhaps tellingly, I tended to most enjoy the movie when either Kat Dennings / Darcy Lewis or Loki / Tom Hiddleston were on the screen &mdash although Loki was also boringly predictable as far as the character development went. Not worth a movie ticket, but worth seeing as a rental with the geeky crowd.
