Who’s your favorite Super Hero?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Okay, so since I posted the I loved the movie Batman (the newer series more than the old one, though I’ve watched the original Batman movie based on the TV series at least 20 times šŸ™‚ ) I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys think about Super Heroes and who is your favorite.

I like the super heroes who are flawed (not perfect) and still feel the need to do the right thing, to help others and use their powers and abilities to help people who can’t help themselves. That’s why I think Batman is one of my favorites.

Bruce Wayne has all the money he could ever need, but he still thinks that there are things he can do, must do, as Batman that he is unable to do as a wealthy businessman.

I also like the idea that with time and resources someone can do amazing things if they are dedicated to doing that.

Let me know what Super Heroes you like, and why.

Just write a short comment to tell me the Super Hero and the things you like the most about them.

What’s your favorite movie?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Okay, so I was trying to think of something fun to discuss and use as an exercise for learning about commenting on blogs for our Web English class, so I thought it might be interesting to ask about movies.

I watch a lot of movies, and I’m a big movie fan.

I love reading about movies at www.imdb.com It helps me appreciate the movies more and to make good choices about the movies I watch, and that I let my boys watch.

While it’s not easy for me to pick my favorite movie, I do have several that I’ve seen again and again, and will watch about any time I have the chance.

I like movies of all types from animation (though I’m not a big fan of anime), action, drama, Korean movies and even some Chinese movies.

Here’s one of my favorite movies:

Batman Begins: I thought the first movies were just for fun and not really like Batman from the comic books, and this restart really impressed me. I think Christian Bale is great as Batman, the special effects add to the movie without overpowering the characters or the story, and the story was great.

So, let me know what your favoriteĀ  movie is, or one of your favorites if you’re like me and like a lot of movies, and tell me a little bit about what it’s about and why you like it.
