A Battle Of Super Films: Marvel And DC
www.notyetrated.net

The Dawn of Superhero movies is upon us, and it's absolutely glorious.

I've never read the comics, or watched the TV series'. The exception to that is "The Flash" and "Arrow", which are both super good and I recommend them highly. The acting is good, great story-lines, and excellent value.

While Marvel has the movie market cornered and DC has the show market cornered, that may be changing soon. The "Captain America" and "Avengers" arcs are starting to slow down, which were massive money makers for Marvel. However, other single stories are starting to steal the spotlight, like the plans for "Black Panther"and "Black Widow", along with a new "Spider Man" movie and the impending release of "Doctor Strange", where Benedict Cumberbatch stops pretending to be a detective for a bit and starts pretending to be a wizard.

DC answered with "Batman V. Superman," which was received with mixed reviews. However, that was a first effort, and the impeding "Justice League"movie looks a lot more complete. "Wonder Woman" has everyone freaking out, and rightfully so. The movie looks awesome in its own right, and it features a strong female character as the leader of the narrative arc, who also can deal out some major ass kicking and world saving.

"Justice League" also unites some of the heroes we're familiar with, such as Ben Affleck's Batman, as well as some new ones. Wonder Woman, the Flash (played by a different actor than Grant Gustin, who is the star of the TV Series for some reason that escapes me), Cyborg, and Jason Momoa's rather terrifying turn as Aquaman.

A lot of people ragged on Aquaman for the longest time, and he was even spoofed in "Spongebob" by Mermaid Man, whose uniforms are remarkably similar if you look at retro Aquaman. However, Jason Momoa makes him a lot more formidable in the new trailer, where he pretty much throws Ben Affleck into a wall for daring to speak to him.

How can we forget the impending release of "Suicide Squad," where Will Smith and Margot Robbie take on the world as supervillains Deadshot and Harley Quinn respectively. Jared Leto brings a spark to the Joker that we haven't seen since Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight."

Be these developments as it may, it'll be unclear as to which franchise of movies will come out with a higher gross income in the end, but one thing's for sure; it'll be awesome to watch.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
