The oddest part about all of this is that it’s the little girls who go gaga for Cinderella. Boys have better things to do, like blow shit up with firecrackers.

 

 

Batman v. Superman – My Review

Only the name Zack Snyder got me into that seat. Snyder directed my favorite zombie film of all time, Dawn of the Dead 2004. Also, he put together the incredible Watchmen film that I think stands as one of the top comic book movies to ever be produced.

When Sucker Punch came around I was so annoyed by the trailer that I avoided it completely. Some Internet geek by the name of Adam Quigley makes a case that there is more there than meets the eye. Maybe some day I’ll find the wherewithal to press play.

I hate Batman. He’s an asshole, always has been. He’s a thinly veiled right-wing vigilante of the white male 1%, as if the plutocrats are under siege by the lower classes, completely reversed propaganda.

I do like Superman though. Not enough to see the recent screen versions, but this one called to me as…

NBC News has learned that commission investigators also tracked down another FBI witness at the meeting that day, Ruben Garcia, head of the Criminal Division at that time. Several sources familiar with the investigation say Garcia confirmed to the commission that Ashcroft did indeed dismiss Pickard’s warnings about al-Qaida.

Did Ashcroft brush off terror warnings?

Ava’s Possessions – My Review

With aggressive stylization, bright colors and quirk, this seemed like a sure winner. Unfortunately, the story never quite broke away from cheap formula.

It is based upon a pretty mundane plot, a whodunnit that not even Ava cares all that much about solving. The grind house aesthetics leave the impression that nobody was taking it all that seriously, and so this seems to have become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It wasn’t serious enough for drama, nor funny enough for comedy, and so what is it exactly? Those infants who haven’t seen The Exorcist should rent that first in order to see how a serious film deals with this possession phenomenon. There are several more recent ones too.  Ava references Exorcist a couple of times but comes nowhere near it.
