The Dark Knight is big and loud, has its entertaining moments, but the second half is boring. The movie in this genre I enjoyed the most was a low-budget black and white movie I saw when I was 12, called Captain Marvel. They don't make them like that anymore!

That reminds me of the ants in "Indiana Jones and the K. of the C.S."--which brought to mind the first movie that scared the hell out of me, "The Naked Jungle." My mother never let me go to see horror movies, but she thought that would be okay because Charlton Heston was in it. I looked for ants under the bed for months afterward.

I have to admit, I read that and I first thought, "Indiana Jones and the Knights of Columbus?"...

No offense to your Captain marvel film which I never saw, but I think what they don't make anymore is your perception as a 12-year-old.

And Wade, I'm guessing it isn't a "WOOHOO!" of disappointment.

Glad you liked it!

Captain Marvel was the favourite of my superheroes. The comic was always funny which was unique in the superheroes of the day. I think his enemies (villains) used to refer to him as the big red (or orange) cheese. Actually Plastic Man also had a lot of humour in it. Then the Superman franchise sued Captain Marvel for stealing their idea, even though they were very different characters and they won. Captain Marvel was out of business. A blow to the industry which was surpassed shortly after by the wacko anti-comics assholes who censored all comics and banned the best of the bunch. A one woman jury who regulated the industry. I became a resolute anti-fascist at a very young age.

Seagull,

Not familiar with Kuselan, but I did like your review of Hellboy.

By the way, Third Eye has a Film Review forum where all the proper reviews are listed and posted, with no commentary around it. If you'd like one of your reviews posted here email it to me and I'll put it up under your name.

lorne (still waiting for your call)

The kuselan review was written as an "insider" review mostly because I'm not sure the film is ready for subtitled release. There are some indian and non Indian films I like enough for me to tell people to run, not walk, and when i do find one of those I'll certainly send it for consideration in the film review section.

I'll try to clean up the hellboy II review for publication outside my blog, and send you a copy....soon.

SHAZAAM! Gary and other comics lovers, you would probably enjoy reading "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" (2000) by Michael Chabon. It's about two NY Jews who pioneered the industry. It won the Pulitzer for fiction.

That's what I too meant to convey. BTW I saw Captain Marvel six or seven times in a seedy little theater in a small town in India. My brother and I had free access to that theater. It had only one projector, so we had seven or eight intermissions during a showing.
