Thor: Love And Thunder (2022)

 

It felt like an endless video game with non-stop flashing graphics. I’m glad Waititi can make a fortune directing this schlock so he can continue pumping out high quality series like Reservation Dogs, What We Do In The Shadows, and Our Flag Means Death.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

 

Every now and then I check out another DC/Marvel movie to confirm that they are still frivolous eye candy filled with empty calories. Yep, they are. I’d watch an entire film about the weasel though.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Flashier and more CGI heavy than the first, which isn’t a compliment. Also it followed the usual superhero narrative where the two big baddies duke it out at the end. I wish there was another way to tell a Marvel story. Sigh.

Super (2010)

Another effed up indie about fake superheroes. This one is crazy violent with a raging current of dark humor throughout. I’m a huge Ellen Page fan, and she was downright awesome in this role. I could eat her up with a spoon and fork. Not a film for everyone—like I said, the humor is vulgar and dark. The violence will catch some off guard. Kick Ass is still the world supreme champ of this genre, but Super isn’t a bad wannabe.
