Clay Pigeons, a review by Rich

Clay Pigeons



He has a firm handshake, and a ready smile, and some strange ideas about friendship. His name is Lester Long and when the bodies start piling up he generously decides to share the blame. Now the F.B.I. has got the whole town under observation, and Lester has put his new friend Clay over a Barrel. The only way for Clay to set things straight is to beat one twisted individual at his own game of deciet and double-crossing.

Enjoyable blind buy Ridley Scott produced black comedy, quadruple cross storyline that keeps you watching. Despite a slow start, this movie draws you in with it's well selected casting, and the empathy you feel for the unlucky lead character as he stumbles from one piece of bad luck to another, all leading to a satisfying conclusion.
Vince Vaughan as the murdorous cowboy steals the show, with a part seemingly made for him. Superb soundtrack and wonderful cinematography (Montana I think?), this film could never be classified as a classic, but is well recommended for something slightly quirky and different.
Reminded me of a Coen movie??

Why didn't I watch this one sooner. This film was a lot of fun. The entire cast did a great job. A lot of cool action with lots of cool cars driving fast. What more cold a guy ask for? What else can I say... this film is just a fun way to waste a couple hours. Recommended.

I really enjoyed this one. Even though its title is Superman/Batman, this is more of a Supergirl movie. It is essentially an origin story for her. And who would be better than Summer Glau to voice her.

The Blu-ray also contains a short Green Arrow movie. This is the first time that I saw Green Arrow in something outside of "Smallville". I also enjoyed this movie. It also has a short appearance of Black Canary.

Furthermore it contains four episodes of the 90s Superman animated TV series. "Little Girl Lost (Part 1+2) introducing Supergirl. And "Apokolips...Now! (Part 1+2).
