Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods (2010)

Starring Grant Morrison
Directed by Patrick Meaney

I'm not a fan of Grant Morrison. I've only read one complete work of his, All-Star Superman. I didn't hate it or love it. It was okay. It had moments that I liked but on the whole I didn't feel as if I had just read something groundbreaking or amazing. I am kind of interested in trying some of his other comic books (Animal Man, JLA, Multiversity) but I don't feel a strong urge to do so.

I watched this move is the hopes that it would open my eyes in some ways or give me a greater interest in reading some of his comics. It did not. There is a lot of Grant Morrison in this movie. By that I mean that there is a lot of Grant Morrison talking to the camera and whomever was interviewing him.

The Foot Fist Way (2006)

Starring Danny McBride
Directed by Jody Hill

This movie was shot in the pseudo-doumentary style that is so popular these days. It is about Fred Simmons (McBride), a Tae-Kwon Do instructor in a small town in North Carolina. His marriage isn't doing so good. He's delusional about his abilities. He meets meets his idol, movie star Jeff "The Truck" Wallace. The meeting seems to do more harm than good to his life.

I didn't love this movie. I wasn't terribly impressed by it. I'm honestly not sure why I stuck with it and watched the whole thing. It was kind of like watching a train wreck. There were some laughs in it for me but probably not enough to justify watching the whole film. It will probably appeal to some people but I'm not sure that I would recommend it.
