Super Movie Monday – My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Okay, this week’s Super Movie Monday will be pretty long, because if ever a movie did not deserve to be discussed for two weeks, it’s this one. My Super Ex-Girlfriend was released in 2006 to take advantage of all the … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – Hancock, Part 2
Last week, we discussed the first half of Hancock, the 2008 superhero spoof starring Will Smith, Jason Bateman and Charlize Theron. And as the first half was ending, Smith was just finishing his transition from thoroughly unpleasant, drunken super-asshole to … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – Hancock, Part 1
So for the next little while, I’m going to cover superheroes who are original to the screen and did not appear in comics first. This week and next, I’ll cover two stories featuring Will Smith as a superhero named Hancock. … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – Barbarella

Super Movie Monday – Superman Returns, Part 3
This is it, the conclusion to our titanic three-part recap of Superman Returns, and the end (sort of) of our months-long odyssey through the Superman theatrical films. When we left off last week, Lois (with Lois Jr. in tow) had … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – Superman Returns, Part 2
Continuing a three-part recap of 2006’s Superman Returns, Bryan Singer’s bigger, faster, louder ode to the original 1978 film. But before we get back into the plot, a word about Brandon Routh’s eyes. They are brown. Not in the film, … Continue reading
Super Movie Monday – Superman Returns, Part 1
Beginning a three-part recap of the latest and final (so far) appearance of Superman on the big screen. Last week, we finished talking about Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. In the intervening years, Superman continued to be a fixture … Continue reading
