Publisher: Buzzy Multimedia Publishing Publishing Date: February 2 2003 Genre: Urban Fantasy Format: Audio Book (unabridged) My rating: Storm Front did not seem like my kind of book.

Film review: Thor (2011)

Kenneth Branagh’s beautifully directed epic superhero film Thor, released in 2009/2010, follows the adventures of Marvel’s version of the Norse mythological god, Thor – the god of thunder. BAM!
