  • Movie Pass Adventures: Superman

    I’m a bit of a comic book nerd, so I don’t think I can accurately judge how normal humans will feel about this movie, but I freaking LOVED it. A charming, likable Superman in a movie that isn’t afraid to have fun? Count me in!

    I had a good idea for today’s poster, but I kind of whiffed the title logo. But it was fun to try and remember how to use Adobe Illustrator!

  • Movie Pass Adventures: Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

    This is DC Studios’ first official release, but it’s also from the CNN documentary division, and CNN’s documentaries can be pretty fawning. This one is, but it also actually lets Christopher Reeve have some flaws, which is refreshing. Reeve and his family had some impressive hardships and triumphs, and I’m a sucker for inspirational music in general (and the John Williams Superman theme in particular) so it was often effective at making me feel what humans call “emotions.”

    Not bad, but I wish it wasn’t cut with obvious spaces to insert commercial breaks.
