Since the birth of comic books, Marvel has remained one of the top creative empires in reading for all ages, as well as in feature films with the recent spike in popularity of comic-based movies.

"A dog is a man's best friend" is a concept that has been emulated countless times in life, literature and film. Some of the more prominent examples of dogs that symbolize this idea include Lassie, Scooby Doo, and Dug from "Up." Now, TV and film writers have begun to explore a much more different view of this everyday pet. While characters like these are good and wholesome examples for children, the recent premiere of FX's "Wilfred" has provided a much darker version of a man and his so-called best friend.

The summer of 2009 was a disappointing time for many film enthusiasts after the unsuccessful release of "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." Like many other sequels, the Transformers franchise made the mistake of trying to outdo the original product, specifically in terms of special effects, story structure, and length.
