Superman Returns

Superman Returns was directed by Bryan Singer and this movie was of the action, sci fi, fantasy and adventure genre. The movie starred Kate Bosworth (Lois Lane), Kevin Spacey (Lex Luthor), Brandon Routh (Clark Kent/Superman), James Marsden (Richard White), Parker Posey (Kitty Kowalski) and other good actors. Brandon Routh is a relatively new actor, but I believe I heard the director say on TV he wanted to cast someone new for the Superman role to make the character seem even more believable somehow. I have never really followed the Superman movies of the past so I was glad I saw this movie. I thought the movie had good special effects, which made for some extreme and intense scenes that occur a lot in the movie. I never knew that Superman was actually suppose to come from the planet Krypton, which you find out in the beginning of the movie, which I had thought was interesting. I was not really sure if I was going to like this movie because I was not familiar with the past Superman movies, but it turned out that I did, because the movie had enough action in it and the plot had kept my attention throughout the movie. So I think this movie is worthwhile to see because Superman is such a famous superhero and because the movie is filled with a meaningful story.

Monster House

Monster House was directed by Gil Kenan and was written by Rob Schrab, Pamela Pettler and Dan Harmon. The movie is of the animation, comedy, fantasy, mystery genre. Some of the voices behind the characters were Steve Buscemi (NebberCracker), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Zee), Kathleen Turner (Constance), Catherine O'Hara (Mom), Mitchel Musso (DJ) and other famous actors. I thought that they had a good cast in this movie for all of the animated characters making the movie more fun to watch. It was kind of intense because some points were kind of scary for an animation movie. The point of the movie is that everyone is afraid of Nebbercrackers house because the house itself is a monster house. Dj, Chowder and Jenny get to be kind of curious as to what is going on with the house on Halloween and have their own little adventure. I liked this movie because I like animation type movies, because it was funny, and it also held my attention because at the beginning and middle I really did not know what was going on with Nebbercracker or the house.
