I’ve probably mentioned before that musicals are one of my pleasures (notice I didn’t say “guilty pleasure” – nothing to feel guilty about!). Whether it’s big stage versions, local theater productions or on the big screen, I enjoy them immensely. And I love the trend in recent years of musicals using well-known tunes to tell their stories. I guess the popularity of this style of musical really started with Mamma Mia, but there’s also We Will Rock You, Rock of Ages, Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert and more.

But there are some that you think you know what you’ll get, but end up being a combination of the expected, the m’eh and the WTF. The new Hellboy is one of those movies.

She Geek Critique – Rise of Comic Films
I was looking back at some of the first blog entries I posted on this site and had to laugh.
