Go to TV and Movies: Through My EyesAdd a commentGo to HellBoy and Being A Man

Ay benzinha...

I like Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Spiderman, Batman and other superheroes.  It is a backlash from my younger days.  I like science fiction too.  I also like the movie remakes of TV series like Charlie's Angels.  (Right now, I am waiting for Starsky and Hutch to show).  Finally, if I've read a novel and they make a movie about it, then I go to watch it too.

Friar Agustin, How do you select the films that you watch? Just wondering.

I could not imagine my self ever watching a film called HellBoy. I would open the newspaper to the movies' pages and then select by reviews. Was it the review which called to you? Did a friend select it?

I sometimes let family drag me to films that I would not otherwise go to see, like the City of God from Brasil. Cidade de Deus is about a 'slum', which they called a re-location of people out of the slums and into new housing,  that was just being constructed as I left there decades ago. They forgot to include the promised 'Deus' in their project's plans.
