Superhero Movies in the Spotlight

6/30/2008 4:15:00 AM

by Betty Jo Tucker

A superhero movie can usually count on success at the box office, even if it fails to win critical acclaim. Will "Hancock," Will Smith’s first superhero outing, rank as one of the best or worst movies of this popular genre? And what ARE the best and worst superhero films ever made?

On Tuesday, July 1, film critics Mad Movie Man A. J. Hakari and John P. McCarthy, two regular contributors to ReelTalkReviews.com, will visit “Movie Addict Headquarters” to discuss Hancock -- which opens on July 2 -- as well as other superhero movies with producer Nikki Starr and me.

This BlogTalkRadio show airs at 4 p.m. Eastern Time. An archived segment will be available after the broadcast.

During the live show, listeners are invited to call in with their comments and to participate in a chat. The call-in number is 646-478-5668.

Listen to this special “Movie Addict Headquarters” episode by clicking on the BlogTalkRadio site below.

It should be a fun show!
