Ya, what he said. Actually, I don't put much stock in critics, but he put it best.

I took my stinkers to Superman Returns yesterday. Bryan Singer knows comic books. This was a beautiful movie. I loved they many, many nods to the old movies and comic books that Singer threw in. He made Superman into a mythological God. I thought it was a great film, what do you think?

I've got a lot of hand written entries to this blog that need posting. I'll begin with this one.

The Easter Bunny brought my kids the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I wasn't sure how this flick would turn out with Tim Burton directing. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love Burton's movies. In fact, I don't think he has made anything that I don't like. Most especially the magnificent Pee Wee's Big Adventure. But Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? I was not so sure about this one.

I laughed my can off!

I loved this flick and thanks be to the Easter Bunny for having faith in the good Tim. Most especially I loved Missi Pyle's performance as the super shallow and over competitive Scarlet Beauregarde. She would make a great Utah valley mother, most likely from the Alpine/Highland area. Burton captured her making some of the funniest facial expressions ever.
I had a great time watching it with my kids while we ate chocolate Easter eggs.

Tell me what you think. Did you like or dislike it?
