Weekly Blend #272 – Fanchastic!
How excited are we to be back after a few weeks? So excited that Margaret coins a new word in the first half of the show. While our format may be off (it has been a few weeks), we bring you reviews of X-Men: First Class, Super 8, and Green Lantern.

END FAIL: The Irony of Green Lantern’s Stinger
Our “End Fail” column is where we deconstruct the ending of a movie that didn’t work, for one reason or another. With Green Lantern my problem isn’t so much with the ending, although it has one nitpicky flaw I’ll get into in a second, but with the stinger thrown in during the end credits. If you didn’t see the stinger, I’ll discuss it below, but discussing both the stinger and the end...

Green Lantern [Review]
After Marvel has firmly placed a thunder god and the origins of its key team of mutants in theaters this summer, it’s DC Comics’ turn for a comic book movie. With Superman and Batman tied up in other developments (and Wonder Woman just recently freed from her television deal), the company had to rely on a less familiar member of its pantheon of characters, the Green Lantern. As someone told me...

In Theaters: June 17th
It’s almost like déjà vu. This marks the second week in a row that we’ve had a blockbuster offering alongside a much more family-friendly offering.
