Pop Preview: Superhero Movie
Last night I went to see a press screening of Superhero Movie, from the stable of Airplane!, The Naked Gun and the Scary Movie series.
I didn't have high hopes for this film, as spoof movies have been getting progressively worse over the past few years (Meet The Spartans anyone?), but I was actually pleasantly surprised.
It doesn't start well – in fact the first fifteen minutes are filled with bad jokes – but as I was watching I remembered that the film is certified 12A – and I think younger teens will get a good few kicks out of those minutes.

The BAFTA Awards: The Winners
There were smiles all round on Sunday night, as the British Academy of Film and Television award winners were announced in London. Jonathan Ross presented the award ceremony, in place of the familiar Stephen Fry, and the gongs were split fairly evenly over the best films of last year. Out of its massive haul of fourteen nominations, Atonement picked up only two awards – although one of those was the top award of Best Film, and La Vie En Rose picked up four awards.
Pop Poll: Superhero Movie – Funny Or Lame?
I have to say I'm pretty wary of any film with "movie" at the end of it, and so I am approaching the idea of Superhero Movie (out June 6 in the UK) with trepidation.
This one is from David Zucker and features Leslie Nielsen in a large role which gave me hopes it might hark back to The Naked Gun golden days... it also seems to be playing to a younger audience than the "Scary" movies – it has a 12A certificate in the UK and stars Drake Bell who's best known from Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh (alongside The Wackness's Josh Peck) as well as his enjoyably McFly-esque albums.
