Two movies I have recently seen. First, The Avengers. I am not really a Marvel Comic Super Hero type of person. Now, having said that, I LOVE Iron Man. Of course Robert Downey Jr IS Iron Man ... need I say more? But I have not really followed Captain America or Thor and didn't even know who the Black Widow was. The Hulk I remember from the TV show of the same name and is was fun to watch this ordinary man get mad and grow huge and green (although I may have had only a black and white TV at that stage). But, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. There was action, humour and of course a plot that saves the world. They all played their roles very well.
Dark Shadows - who better to play a Tim Burton Vampire than Johnny Depp? The stars weren't shining on this movie - reviewers showed anywhere from one to three stars but this reviewer gives it five stars. It's a Vampire, witch, werewolf movie folks. Let's not take it too seriously. And the humour was often, though not always, imbedded within the movie if you watched closely. I enjoyed it. I just could not understand why someone took their six year old to watch the film. Not for children but very entertaining for us adults.
