This is fun!

My wife and I really enjoyed Sky High, which I don't think did very
well in the box office. Good casting of cult movie fave Bruce
Campbell, Linda Carter is good in it - it's a teen superhero movie
that adults can like (at least adults like my wife and me) It has a
good moral for the kids about being true to yourself and your
principles.

Mystery Men, another superhero movie, was a zeroes to heroes movie
like Ishtar with a remarkable cast, and it also bombed, possibly also
sunk (at least in part) by a hostile relationship between the director
and the studio. I'd love to see a Mystery Men sequel, but that ain't
never gonna happen.

I have wanted to check out the Dewey Cox story for a while, it sound
intriguing, I'll be sure to do that.

I've never heard of Pootie Tang - I'll check that out too.
