Brandon doesn't believe in narrative modes. I grew up in Flint, Michigan. He is the son of Flint writer Brenda Brissette Mata, and a musical father who doubles as a spy. So, no name. As well as enjoying film, I've had the pleasure of working in film and television for some time. Brandon divides his attention between workin and writin' about the movin' pictures and playing music, and berating his siblings; twin sister Brent, and younger sister Bryce. I've attended college on and off for years. This is either because I'm majoring in a medical profession or because of the odd nomadic nature of the jobs that I've done. Music has taken me all across America, playing for a variety of venues and styles of song. Film and Television has done the same, except when you hit a camera with a drum stick you're going to be fired. That would never happen to Brandon though. He plays the saxophone.

If you’re familiar with the Spider-Man mythos (and nerd or not, I can’t imagine you aren’t) then you’ll know the story; Peter’s a dork, Peter is bit by a radioactive spider ( g

Ambitious Avengers Soars Above Expectations
Let’s face it; The Avengers was an endeavor so ambitious and so large, that had the end result been of mediocre quality, one could have paid the picture respect. Yet lo and behold The Avengers, a culmination of four other big budget Marvel Comic adaptations, is a film so stunningly entertaining in every aspect, it almost leaves one thinking this to be a fluke of Hulk like pr
