Although officially the summer doesn’t start until mid May, movie wise it has slowly crawled up to late April in order to allow a wider window for summer releases. Next week Fast Five and Dylan Dog: Dead of Night will kick off this year’s batch of summer movies. But I’d like to take a look back and see what the spring of 2011 had to offer.

Review: SUPER
I can safely say I was not expecting Super to play the way it did. This is a sick, demented movie that could have only been conceived by the man who brought us PG Porn. And like PG Porn, this movie pulls the rug right under your feet in order to create a deranged commentary on the genre it is parodying. This is not your little brother’s superhero movie, nor your parent’s superhero movie; to be honest this isn’t really a superhero movie. It has more in common with Hitchock’s Psycho than it does with Superman. This could be Batman Begins if Bruce Wayne lived on minimum wage in Arkansas. But could we really call that a superhero movie?
