Super Movie Review

Project Free TV is possibly my favourite website of all time. Higher even than stumbleupon?! Maybe. You can watch almost all tv shows ever online for free, with no downloading and no watch limit.

Movies too. Good quality (for being free) cam versions of recently released movies.

I had been anticipating for a while to see one movie on the website, and recently it appeared.

Super

This indie flick stars Rainn Wilson, popularly known as Dwight from The Office. What that's not enough to make you watch it? How about Ellen Page? No? Liv Tyler? Kevin Bacon?! Ok well how about a superhero who uses a wrench to fight crime? If I have you convinced, awesome. If not, go fuck yourself.

All of you not currently performing fellatio on your own, please read on.

Favourite Quote: How am I supposed to tell crime to shut up if I have to shut up?


Favourite Character: The Crimson Bolt. Such a real, honest, and absolutely psychotic superhero never existed  before. The Crimson Bolt is out there. He's harsh, he's violent, and he's very short tempered. I prefer The CB  to the real man, Frank. He uses a wrench as a weapon, and not in a nice, 'hey you're doin bad stuff please stop' kind of way. More in a 'this wrench can break your face' kinda way.

Least Favourite Character: Libby. Yes, she is hilarious, and yes her over-excitement about murdering someone is refreshing to see, but one scene ruined the whole character for me. I couldn't look at her the same. And then she got shot in the face. So she couldn't look at me the same. In the end we just didn't have a connection anymore.

Favourite Scene: Frank is waiting in live for movie tickets, when suddenly a couple budges. People complain a little bit and he tells the man to get to the back of the line. When the man refuses, Frank runs over to his car and quickly changes in his back seat into his costume. Two seconds later the man who budged gets a wrench to his forehead, and his skull splits open. The makeup is phenomenal, and the scene is so hilarious, because you don't see it coming. I guess now you will... What did I tell you about reading my reviews before you watch the movie?!

Least Favourite Scene: The rape scene. Normally rape is not the most pleasant thing to watch, but this one was especially uncomfortable for me. Maybe because it was a she violating a he, maybe because Ellen Page is just a fucked up rapist, or maybe because of their age difference and because Frank is so upset by it. Either way, this is what completely killed the Libby character for me. I hated every second of the scene. I know some indie films "go where no other film has gone" but for me there's just some places I don't want to go at all. But good on them for taking the trip, I just would have liked to get off one stop sooner.

Favourite Actor in a Role: Rainn Wilson. He's awkward, desperate, passionate, and Liv Tylers undeserved knight in shining armor. At first you think, 'ohai dwight!!' but then you end up thinking 'this guys fucked... and I totally relate' so it's perfect.

Least Favourite Actor in a Role: Liv Tyler. She just didn't do it for me. I guess she didn't have much to act, but for what I saw of her I wasn't overly impressed.

Favourite Actor in General: Ellen Page. Yes I hated her character, but she played it to a T. And Ellen's had me since Juno. She's talented and natural and just so darned cute.

Least Favourite Actor in General: Kevin Bacon. Not even in Footloose did I like him. He creeps me out. But not in a bad guy way, just in a 'I secretly collect cabbage patch kids' way.

All the workings of a classic indie movie, this film is sure to be on the cool eclectic kids list of faves. With a few static characters, some awesome gore scenes and awkward out the ying yang, this movie's worth a watch. Oh, and Frank has visions which only add to the film. I give this movie one wink, a hat tip, and a bum tap, in that order, or maybe all at once.
