Micro Review: The Fighter

Another movie checked off my catch-up list, and well worth the wait. This is as much about drug addiction as it is about boxing, and both stories pay off perfectly. Much like its main character, The Fighter is slow to warm up but grows on you. By the end of the movie I was completely engrossed. Mark Wahlberg has never been better and Christian Bale is hands down one of the best actors working today. Be patient with this movie and you won't be disappointed. A Good for sure, and worthy of its praise.

And Superman's love interest will be . . .

. . .  Lois Lane. Duh! But who is the actress playing the feisty female reporter who lusts after The Man of Steel while being chummy with Clark Kent, not realizing the two are the same dude?

Director Zack Snyder, who underwhelmed us with Sucker Punch last weekend, has selected Academy Award nominee Amy Adams for the role. At least he's going for talent along with sex appeal.

Adams will star opposite Henry Cavill as Superman/Kent. 

Shawn and I aren't keen on yet another Superman origin story heading to the big screen. I mean, come on, who doesn't know how Superman became Superman? However, with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane cast as Ma and Pa Kent and now Adams added to the mix we'll at least have a decent cast to look forward to.

The new Superman is expected to arrive in theatres some time in 2012.
