Comics go to the movies…kind of

 I do have a weakness for odd movies about people trying to be superheroes. While I was picking at the carcass of an almost-closed Blockbuster I luckily found these.

I had seen Defendor (yep, that is the spelling) on the shelves before and was curious because of Woody Harrelson. Super was on my radar because it was written and directed by James Gunn who made great funny horror movie Slither (think Tremors). Unfortunatley, neither was showing up on Netflix streaming. (With a toddler, our primary way of watching movies is in bed on our iPhones.)

I don’t want to give too much away, so let be just say this: I would  recommend both but Super is certainly more challenging, so it’s not for all tastes.
