Radio 4 review of Fantastic 4

I was just listening to a review of the recent Fantastic Four film on BBC Radio Four*. They made an interesting comment that in the UK they expect that the film will suffer due to recent events in London – “not a time for movies with explosions” to paraphrase the reviewer. Not really sure I agree with the link. I’m more concerned about the tone of the latest Harry Potter book where the shadow war with Lord Voldamort creates a dark atmosphere of fear in Harry’s world. You really have to wonder how that’ll influence kids who are around constant news reports of explosions, terror alerts, and accidental shootings.

*The thing that really caught my attention was the reviewer’s comment that she didn’t think the phrase “Flame On” would really catch on.
