c2e2 Movie Night: Boy Wonder Review

March 23, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

To the untrained nerd/geek, a movie
entitled, Boy Wonder sends the vibe of a superhero movie. Granted it
contains the structure reminiscent of a comic character origin (as
any character driven narrative should have). Boy Wonder isn’t so much
a comic book super hero film as it is a revenge film. At an early age a Sean Donovan (Caleb
Steinmeyer ) witness the murder of his mother. This in turn causes
him to lead a very antisocial life consisting of no real friends,
just a few acquaintances. Living alone with his father, Terry Donovan
(Bill Sage) the two of them keep a fragile relationship that was
built from past abuse in Terry’s heavy drinking days. Sean turns most
of his free time to academics getting him straight A’s. Though still
haunted by the loss of his mother, Sean keeps the hope of finding her
killer and one day bringing them to justice.

And The Next Movie Is… Invincible!

March 23, 2011 | | Comic Features

Admittedly the last
decade has really been the decade of the comic book for movies. X-Men
quadrilogy, Spider-Man trilogy, the last two Blade movies, the two
Fantastic Four Movies, Christopher Nolan’s re imagining of Batman,
just to name a few. This year alone has a number of comic book movies
coming out with Green Lantern, Captain America and two franchise
reboots to mention the main ones. Whether this is just a phase or not
does not really bother me as I just enjoy them anyways. Well now I am
going to talk about which comic book character I believe should have
his own movie and that character is Robert Kirkman’s Invincible.
