Yep, it's one more list for you to read through.
5. Captain America and Thor: While there were some comic book movies I had complete disdain for (Looking at you Green Lantern) These two from Marvel had me completely. True to the source and powerful writing made them great comic book movies for not just the comic fans but for non comic fans as well.
4. Wrestling: 2011 brought my interest back into wrestling in a big way. Starting early with The Rock coming on to Raw to announce that he will be at Wrestlemania and giving one of the greatest mike work segments in the history of Raw, that is until June 27th, when Chicago native CM Punk came out and broke the 4th wall by giving a speech that changed the tone of the WWE for the rest of the year. Sure there are a lot of things that they still need to improve on, such as a tag team division and ending the race card gimmicks, but they are on the right track.
3. Music: New Cd's from Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Reckless Love and Avril Lavigne made this year sound fantastic.
2. Aquaman: While there are quite a few things about the new DC Comics Universe that I do not like, the shining star by far is Aquaman. Writer Geoff Johns has created an Aquaman that is more in a fight to make sure people know he can do more then talk to fish. Truly an entertaining read.
1. Netflix: Sure they had their fair share of problems in 2011, and I was one of the major complainers of their decision to charge for both DVD and Streaming. I may have downgraded my service to streaming only, but look at what Netflix put on streaming. Every season of Power Rangers, Marvel Comics cartoon series and all of Star Trek. For 8 bucks a month, that is quite a bargain.
Thanks for reading and look for more blogs from me at least once a week, time permitting.
