The three things I didn't like about the Superman (Man of Steel) movie

I don't normally post movie or TV commentary, but every now and then I do (you can read my comments on  Airbender and Smallville ).  I wanted to put in my 2 cents worth. I felt gratified that there were scenes that reminded me so much of Smallville. I liked the characters and story. I really loved Henry Cavill in this role, but I do have a few (unsurprising) quibbles about this movie. I don't like my Pa Kent morally ambiguous. There is a scene in the movie after Clark raises a school bus that went into the river, and Clark asks Jonathan if he should have left them to die,  and Pa Kent answers, "Maybe."

My YouTube fix. Fun Post!

After I see a movie, I've gotten into the habit of going to You T ube for interviews with the cast and behind-the-scenes videos that may be posted there.

(And if you don't know why that is funny, check this out Jason Statham-Transporter3 Fight Scene . If that does not convince you, you can also see this Jason Statham-Transporter3 Fight Scene . Did I mention he manages to strip in his fight scenes?) On an interview with Tom Hiddleston and Robert Downey Jr . (The Avengers) I think they're trying to see who can outflirt who. The bastards, causing ovary explosions and nosebleeds all up in this youtube. About Alex Clare ( Too Close ) His voice alone could kick chuck norris' ass in a fight. I freely admit to my You T ube addiction!
