65-Word Review of "Green Lantern" (Not Including Important P.S.)

Green Lantern 

All exposition and cliche, and no real sense of excitement. Three thousand Lanterns DO NOTHING. Sinestro does NOTHING. Two-thirds in, I was thinking about a book I had bought before going into the theater. Sad.

(And Tim Robbins and Angela Bassett [!] get treated like cannon fodder! These are GREAT film actors, and THIS is what they have to do for checks in 2011?!? DAY-AM! :))

P.S. BUT the sequel should be GREAT! I was glad to know to stay half-way through the credits to see what I had really hoped to see!

Saving The Day (In Updated Costumes)!

But “Wonder Woman” didn’t get picked up by NBC. Hopefully the CW will step in, since it needs to replace “Smallville” anyway.

JUNE 2ND UPDATE: And now the DC Universe is rebooting?!? And in this reboot, DC has taken away Superman’s red overpants and given him a blue collar?!? Hmmm………

Congrats To…….

…….my nephew, Andrew Burroughs, Jr., whose sci-fi thriller “Algeny” has made No. 5 of Smooth magazine’s top five indy Black films you should be watching,

…..Free Speech TV being covered by The Denver Post,

and, finally to my friend and colleague Ericka Blount-Danois, who wrote this story about this groundbreaking show.
