Green Lantern (2011)

Great superhero movie

[8/10 · 31 May 2014]

Green Lantern has always been one of my favorite superhero movies and I, too, think it's misunderstood. Abin-Sur was treated respectfully as he was in the comics. Carol was also treated well. The planet Oa looked awesome! (This also comes from someone who read comics through adulthood and only quit because they were getting too darned expensive. I will be 49 this year.) I also loved how the guardians were treated. Sinestro was also pretty cool. Kilowog was also one of my favorites and was treated pretty well.

SPOILER! If I recall, even Ch'p made an appearance! (Loved him and Tomar-Re, who also made an appearance!)

The battle at the end was awesome, and Hal even impressed Sinestro and Kilowog. Not easy to do.

Was it a fun film, too? Oh, YES! There were funny lines in it that fit in just right. The effects from the rings weren't disappointing, either.

All in all, I thought it was a great movie--and I wish people would quit trashing it!

Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader (2012)

Attack of the 50ft Cheerleader--fun and not bad

[8/10 · 24 January 2013]

I've already seen Attack of the 50ft Cheerleader 3 times and loved it each time. You have gorgeous women, a funny script, gorgeous women, decent acting (not Oscar worthy, but what did you expect?), gorgeous women and more. (Did I mention gorgeous women?)

**SPOILER** One of my favorite parts is when she is growing and she is in class. Her shirt just keeps expanding!

I love tall women. (Married to one.) It was fun seeing her physically taller than the others. Even the original Attack of the 50 foot woman didn't really have that--they didn't have the knowledge to do it back then.

**SPOILER** Also loved when she was walking up the stairs, revealing herself as gorgeous for the first time.

Overall a decent movie. Quirky script, but how can you beat gorgeous women? (Or did I already say that?)
