BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Get To Know The Real Hawkeye Before The Avengers Hits Theaters

Let's get to know the man behind the arrows. With The Avengers hitting the big screen in just a few short weeks, I thought it'd be a good idea to refresh everyone's knowledge of the different Avengers beginnings. With one exception, the movies seem to be pulling the character bios from the Ultimates series, so we'll be looking at the history of the comic versions of the movie characters from that universe. We're kicking this series off with both Hawkeye.


Hawkeye, A. K. A. Clint Barton, is a convicted murderer, though the details of the murder are still a mystery. While serving his sentence, Barton was approached by none other than Nick Fury. In exchange for release from his sentence, Barton signs up to work for S. H. I. E. L. D. under the alias Hawkeye. Working many missions for Fury, he rose up through the ranks to become one of the elite black ops agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. After becoming a trusted agent, Fury had Barton pardoned and his criminal history erased and replaced.


Seizing this opportunity at a clean slate, Barton started a family with girlfriend Laura. They eventually had three children together, whom Hawkeye would call before every mission to simply say goodbye in case he didn't make it. (Don't worry, because he's such a badass, Hawkeye ALWAYS made it back). Following the event with the Chitauri, where he and long time partner, Black Widow, cleaned house against some Chitauri sleeper agents, he was promoted into the Ultimates.


Barton's abilities are mostly human in nature. His heightened reflexes enable him to react quickly in all situations and he's been known to shoot six arrows faster than most people can shoot six bullets. Hawkeye is also known for using random hand held items as deadly projectiles, for example, his own fingernails. He is a master marksman who carries primarily a bow with standard arrows, but has some other arrows for various uses. Hawkeye has also been known to carry hand guns. It's revealed later that Hawkeye's perfect aim is because of some modifications that had been done on his eyes.



Hawkeye's personality is pretty much what you would expect of a black ops agent of his caliber. He's cocky, opinionated and often acts without thinking. Hawkeye also has no qualms about killing when necessary, which he has done and will likely continue to do.



That's Hawkeye in a nut shell. He's probably one of my favorite Avengers, just by nature of using a bow. And he's got something going on that Green Lantern just doesn't. You know, being awesome (yeah yeah yeah, give me all the flak you want). Next time we'll be looking at Black Widow and certainly not thinking about Scarlett Johansson.

Movie Review: #Vacation

Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
