Superhero Movie
12:32pm Friday 6th June 2008
Superhero Movie (12A) ** - Drake Bell, Sara Paxton, TJ Singh and Leslie Nielsen.
IT may not quite be as bad as the recent woeful Meet The Spartans, but there is little to recommend this latest send up movie with superheroes as the cannon fodder.
Everything has been parodied to death in recent years and the malaise shows no sign of abating.
This take off follows the fortunes of the crusading Dragonfly and the film takes a variety of easy and clumsy swipes at the likes of Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men and the Fantastic Four.
Co-producer David Zucker, one of the men behind Airplane!, has clearly seen better days.

I remember that...
I HAVE attached an old picture of Daisy the donkey, with my father Charles Davies who was the gardener in the Seaview Children’s home Bradford Place, and an unknown rider. The field opposite the home was named the Donkey Field. I wonder if anyone remembers Daisy? I think I took the picture in the late 1950s. Daisy lived in a stable in the grounds and one of my jobs was to bring her in at night from the field. My aim was to ride Daisy from the field through the side driveway to her stable, but Daisy always took the corner with a fast swerve and I regularly fell off.
