I first saw Bonnie and Clyde in high-school film class. I don’t know if I completely understood its sexual themes but I did remember its uncompromising violence. I hadn’t seen the film again until recently, almost two decades later.
The fourth installment of the Superman franchise nearly made me cry (and would have been a good entry in the So Bad They’re Good movie contest). This is despite solving one problem of Superman III: Gene Hackman and Margot Kidder are back as Lex Luthor as Lois Lane — but unfortunately, everything else is a complete and utter disaster.
Superman from the seventies is a classic blockbuster film which I probably watched a hundred times as a child. Everyone’s favorite illegal alien is a superhero with awesome powers, that he must learn to use responsibly while discovering their limitations.
The movie is broken into three main parts. The first takes place on the planet Krypton with Jor-El (Marlon Brando), Superman’s father, doling out punishment to General Zod, establishing a theme of justice.
