In Theaters - 6/30/06

Wide Releases

Superman Returns -
I have not been a fan of many DC comic adaptations on the big screen. I think the "Batman & Robin" movie from the late nineties left a bad taste in my cinematic palate. I couldn't believe that a movie studio could gay up a franchise that bad. This all started to change around the time "Batman Begins" was released last year. Now, my opinion of Warner Brothers (who own DC Comics via the AOL Time Warner publishing empire) is improving. This movie looks fantastic, and from what I've read online ranges from above average to amazing. So, that gives me hope that when I go spend 20 bucks on this sometime this weekend, I won't come out of the theater disappointed.

The Devil Wears Prada - The other movie opening this weekend will not take a whole lot of business from the comic book juggernaut that started raping the box office this past Wednesday. This movie could not take top spot if Anne Hathaway spent the whole movie walking around buck-nekked, with an open invitation to fuck her if you saw her movie. It does also star a ghastly mutant that goes by the name of Meryll Streep. She's kind of scary, but not as dangerous as Lex Luthor.
