What'd you think of them V? I had a blast with both...they were definitely among the weaker superhero fare of the summer (nothing compared to First Class or Cap), but still thought they were damn good fun, especially Thor.

Loved them both, especially Thor.
2nd time seeing them (saw them in the theater when they were first released) and I appreciated Thor a lot more, and I thought Kenneth Branagh made a real classy superhero film. Not in the class of X-Men First Class, though. Green Lantern was a childhood dream come true. Grew up reading all those GL comics of the 80s and I always wanted to see one of my favorite superheroes on the big screen, and it became a reality. The highlights were undoubtedly Sinestro, CG-ed Parallax and the world of Oa, and the sore point? Ryan Reynolds. He has to be the most annoying choice to play Hal Jordan. Also, a stronger script might have helped the film as well. I thought a lot of things happened too quickly, and the actors were more cardboarded in their actions, with Reynolds giving exasperated looks more than once. Both films look absolutely gorgeous in High-Def. Specially Thor.

"Insidious" (2011)
-Rose Byrne Plot: IMDB story of a family in search of help for their son, Dalton, who fell into a mysterious coma on one ordinary morning. Little do they know that there is much more to this endless sleep than meets the eye as they explore the paranormal, and rediscover the past; the key to getting their son back once and for all. Phantom's Review: Excellent, old fashioned ghost story. No splashy special FX. no over the top acting, just good solid performances from the all the stars a wonderful creepy atmosphere.and some genuine chills. This is what a ghost story should be like. -- |
