Love muffins, did any of you see the highly-anticipated prequel to the X-Men series, X-Men Origins: Wolverine yet? Some of the reviews have been less than stellar, but the release of this movie yesterday is significant because it marks the beginning of the summer blockbuster season.

I don’t know, I wasn’t really feeling it…wasn’t that impressed. Thoughts?

Next up: Star Trek on May 8th. Who’s dying to see this one??
