Day 77 - 3/18/09 - Movie #74

BEFORE: Went to a beer dinner last night (St. Patrick's Day) so once the beer wore off, I was wide awake - perfect night to stay up and watch a film in the early a.m. hours.

THE PLOT: A detective examines the mysterious death of George Reeves, TV's Superman.

AFTER: I have to admit I don't know that much about George Reeves' suicide (or was it...murder!) Ben Affleck stars as Reeves - I guess if you can't play Superman in a movie, at least you can play a man acting the part. Adrien Brody was better than usual - playing a man down on his luck really seems to suit him. Though there are no solid answers about Reeves' death, the movie at least puts several good theories out there.

RATING: 7 out of 10 speeding bullets
