Movie Reviews – “The Amazing Spider-Man” & “Katy Perry: Part of Me”
Independent Films, Talk Shows, Movie Reviews, Film Profiles
Two big films to enjoy this weekend, first, we have Andrew Garfield sliding into the Spider-Man suit that Tobey Maguire vacated in the Marc Webb-directed reboot “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Is it really a reboot, an homage, or is that your spidey sense tingling déjà vu? Take a look at my review.
We also have the concert documentary “Katy Perry: Part of Me.” This is not the all-out, honest music documentary in the veins of Madonna’s “Truth or Dare,” but rather a poppy, sugary-sweet confection of a pop princess and the road Perry took to catapult her from a Gospel singer to a superstar.
So, “Spider-Man” or “Katy Perry?” See which one is my pick of the week!

“The Amazing Spider-Man”
Synopsis
Peter Parker, an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy, and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance -- leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
