Green Lantern (2011)

Rating: ★★★

Jun 17, 2011Comic-Book Superhero

This received a lot of bad flak, including from star Ryan Reynolds, but I'm not one of the haters. There is the terrible CGI suit and a miscast Reynolds but it does get a good deal of the comic-book mythos right

Pan (2015)

Rating: ★★

The idea of Jennifer Lopez in a transformer suit kicking robot ass has an outlandishness to it. The surprise is that this is a really good, well written SF film of planetary survival
