Movie Review: *** Superman III

 This is the only Christopher Reeve Superman movie without Lex Luthor.  Instead he goes up against Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn) who is an entrepreneur.  He teams up with a computer expert, Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor).  He also has a couple women helping him, Vera (Annie Ross) and Lorelei (Pamela Stephenson).  They access a satellite and with that they manipulate the weather.

There is also less Lois Lane and the newspaper characters as Clark Kent returns to Smallville for his class reunion, and rekindles a flame with Lana Lang (Annette O'Toole) and out duels Brad (Gavav O' Herlihy) for her affections.

So Gorman designs a super computer, but the three villains take it over and kick him out.  In bread into the computer is it analyzes an opponents weaknesses, and is able to counter.  When superman confronts the computer, the computer takes over one of the women and becomes self sufficient.  It is no longer dependent on electricity and becomes independent.  Superman has to trick the computer to save the world.

Movie Review: Bullitt (1968)

Her is an older, 1960s police movie.  Steve McQueen stars as Bullitt, who is in charge of guarding a witness for an investigation.  The witness is leaving "the organization" and as such is a target.  However he never testifies, as he is murdered.
Turns out that things aren't as the seem.  Lieutenant Bullit and the district Attorney Chalmers (Robert Vaughn) do not really like each other.  Chalmers is use to throwing his weight around to get his way.  In this case, he hopes to make political points but have appearing strong against crime.
This movie has a bit too much chase, over the San francisco hills without anyone getting killed.  Well in the end, only the bad guys get killed.  Pretty gruesome scene.  This movie does have a few bloody scenes, so not appropriate for those who may be effected by this.  However it is rated PG.
