#140RVW - 140 character reviews
140 character review: When I started this site that’s all I did – movie reviews that could fit on Twitter. With the exception of a few short blasts, everything since 2014 has been a full-size review, and I've gone back to expand on some of the earlier reviews. If they're here, I haven't updated them yet...
#140RVW: Superman: The Motion Picture (1978)
Greatest superhero movie ever. Much to take issue with, but why? Unsworth’s final film gorgeous; Williams score on another level. Reeve…
#140RVW: Superman Returns (2006)
Singer’s choice to continue Donner legacy may have handcuffed him, but he nailed it. Unfairly maligned, it’s good; Routh & Spacey wonderful!
#140RVW: Man of Steel (2013)
Deserves its reviews. Joyless & frustrating. Superhero fatigue is here to stay. The scale of destruction makes it impossible to relate/care.
#140RVW: Sound City (2013)
Grohl’s love letter to studio is really a tribute to the power of the creative process of recording. Well-made & fun; too much Springfield.
