You know what? I give up. I didn't hate this one. It was okay. Please don't make any more. Grade: PTSD

listening: second chance

Artist: Liam Finn. Album: I'll Be Lightning.

June 17, 2011

saw: green lantern

Ryan Reynolds manages to be cheerless, charmless and wooden in a feckless, aimless and cardboard superhero movie. Halle Berry's Catwoman was the Dark Knight compared to this glorified screensaver. (Gawd, even its IMDb trivia page is dull.) Grade: F

listening: always a first time

Artist: Jets Overhead. Album: No Nations.

A very slight movie executed with a lot of lens flare—I mean flair. Grade: B

saw: x-men: first class

These mid-century modern mutants are a wee bit Austin Powers—until the movie jettisons its expository rocket boosters and scales the soaring heights we expect from our superheroes. Grade: B
