Movie Review for The Green Lantern

Ryan Reynolds is the Green Lantern and Martin Campbell, who directed the James Bond movies Golden Eye and Casino Royale, is in charge of this huge special effects budget film. Director Campbell throws every dollar up there on the screen and the special effects are amazing. As a matter of fact the effects ARE the film. They are so heavy handed they overpower the story.

The summer of comic book movies continues with the release of the DC Comics superhero Green Lantern on the big screen. People really get caught up in this comic book stuff. I guess it’s because of their fond childhood memories of following their favorite superhero in the pages of a comic book. They know all of the background info on their guy and things like the oath he has to take to become Green Lantern (“In Brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight”). It’s a trip!

I fall on the other end of the spectrum. Sure, I’d heard of Green Lantern, but I wasn’t aware that the Green Lanterns were a brotherhood of defenders who covered each part of the universe looking for evil (did you?) or that they had their own planet. I just remembered that he was in The Justice League with Superman, The Flash and Aqua Man and them on Saturday morning cartoons. But, even with my limited knowledge, I was still able to follow the movie. So, that is good news for you if you fall into my limited knowledge category.

Cinematic Discussion: What Makes a Great Female Role Model?

Note : As this cinematic discussion is meant for contemporary audiences, these examples will be equally contemporary. Just as women and men are different, we've all evolved with the times. And one's role model, for the most part, often represents one's contemporary outlook for their future self. Believe it or not, a man can discuss and write about issues of feminism. While some may be woefully ignorant or just banefully uninterested, take notice, guys, you shouldn't be. And not all of us are — completely, anyway. So, with that in mind, there's one particular issue of feminism, of the representation of females, that I want to discuss at the moment: What makes a great female role model? (Of course, as localized to the medium of film.) What are the elements of a female character that should be most sought after by writers hoping to create strong, relatable, fleshed-out characters? What makes the characters who imbue those elements great role models? And what are some...

Where the wild thing are interview.

This may only be his third feature film, but I still think it’s appropriate to call Spike Jonze a visionary filmmaker. His work, both on the big screen and on the small screen (all of his music videos), is some of the most honest, creative, and unique I’ve ever seen. A few weeks back, after seeing Spike’s Where the WIld Things Are, I went to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to interview Mr. Jonze, and he invited me into bed. I’m not even joking - Spike and I got into bed together (not under the covers, of course!) to talk about bringing Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book to life on the big screen exactly the way he first envisioned it. I wish I had a photo, or video, to prove that we did this in bed, but I don’t. Spike had been tired from doing press all day and needed to rest, so since we were in a hotel room, he invited me to do the interview in bed. Sure it was a little bit awkward and very intimate, but I felt that was able to talk with Spike in a way that I don’t think most people a...
