But on the Other Hand...

...David Poland has bad things to say about Superman Returns and Nacho Libre.

"Where to start on Superman Returns? It's terribly cast, poorly conceived, extremely light on action, features a romance that is not remotely romantic, doesn't feature a single memorable, "gosh, that was great" repeat-to-your-friends moment in a positive way (the blunder bits start early and often), will be crushed by Pirates of The Caribbean II and played out completely before August 1."

"On a much smaller scale of disappointment is Nacho Libre, which fulfills the promise of the commercials, trailers, and video confessionals for about one act… and then does nothing but vamp for another hour or so."

Jeffrey Wells Looks Forward to the Summer

In this week's piece, he's surprisingly optimistic about the big films coming out this summer, rather than the normal huge studio dreck that normally accompanies June, July, and August.

Here, he riffs on (and offers alternatives to) Mission: Impossible III, Poseidon, The DaVinci Code, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Break-Up, Cars, Nacho Libre, Superman Returns, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The Lady in the Water, Miami Vice, Flags of our Fathers, Apocalypto, World Trade Center, and Snakes on a Plane.

Nacho Libre Confessional

Watch Jack Black/Nacho Libre get his chest and belly waxed.  His mastery of the Spanish language is quite extraordinary... enjoy.

Nacho Libre Trailer

I don't understand it, but I need to see it.

Come to think of it, that's what I said when I saw Napoleon Dynamite also...
