I commented lately on a couple of blog posts - one from Guns, Girls, Action! written by one of my peers - http://gunsgirlaction.blogspot.com/2012/10/avengers-assemble.html?showComment=1352528054875#c7684158629712106378
And another post from a blog called The Film Thugs -

The first post introduces a picture from The Avengers, a hero action film that stars some of the most iconic super heroes of the comic book world. I liked "Smasher's" commentary on the topic because he analyzed the space surrounding the super heroes and how that reflects on emotion - specifically hope. Though ironic, the heroes stand in way of danger in order to protect the innocent, even when hope is hanging on by just a thread.
The second post is a review of The Devil's Double, a film based on a true story. the post argues that the climax "falls apart" just because the audience knows what will happen. I argued that it is not necessarily what happens that makes the plot ideal, but also how the protagonist gets there.
