Movies!

Yep, we watched it this weekend!

 And

Yep, it was great!

 I hadn't seen any previews at all, so the actors were a surprise to me

and a good surprise, they all did a super job!

At first I was like, Russell Crowe?  Is he going to pull it off?

I think he did.

He's a good actor, what can I say?

 Henry Cavill, plays Superman (never heard of him--that was good)

Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, (as I've said)

Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and this last guy, is Michael Shannon

(I never heard of him--but he plays a good bad guy!)

The movie also stars Christopher Maloni (think SVU and Pretty in Pink)

and Laurence Fishburne (think CSI and The Matrix)

All Star Cast, huh?

I liked this take on Superman, 

another perspective.

Way better than the old Christopher Reeve ones...

Oh, gosh, those were stupid.

I don't think I could actually sit through a whole one of those now.

I love watching these kind of movies with Tom,

because he's a big comic book guy 

and he knows all the back stories.

He knows things before they even explain it in the movie.

Like the "S" stands for "Hope" on Superman's planet.

He knows things like

 the fact that Superman is the nicest of all the DC superheroes.

He cannot do bad, he just can't.

(unlike Batman--who has that edgy thing going)

 I guess the nicest of the Marvel superheroes is Captain America.

(in case you don't know it, there are 2 sets of heroes that do not cross, 

Marvel Heroes and DC Heroes--2 different comic books)

You follow me?

 I think this is kind of funny, 

one of the lines in the movie is

 Superman stating something to the effect

 that he is as American as it gets, being from Kansas and all

(I think this is funny, because the actor is a British Actor!!)
(and the fact that Superman is actually from another PLANET!!!)

Who cares?

(He did a great job speaking without his British accent)

I wonder how many guys out there look like Superman 

and how many of them tried out for the part?

Oh, he's a good one....

 And if you prefer a little scruffier Superman, (like me) here he is...

(you're welcome)

Maybe that's why I like Wolverine so much....

 OK, onto happy, cheerful, sappy, every movie is almost the same, kind of review

(that's what Tom says anyway)

Have you been catching any Hallmark Christmas movies?

They are on!!

All the time, til Christmas!!

I love them

I love them all.

I'm the only one in my family though.

 I thought this one was a little different, it had a little meat

(OK, only a little)

The woman's husband died last February 

and so this Christmas is hard for her...

I know, you already know, 

Yes, she falls in love

Yes, she moves on...

But that's good, right?

That's happy, right?

Yep.  It is.

And if you love your husband 

and cannot imagine a Christmas without him, 

you will cry in this one for sure.
