Sky High

Do you ever wish that you had super powers?

I always used to love watching Superman when I was a kid. Mum made me a Superman cape and I would fly around the back yard taking on the world’s greatest villains.

I got to re-live a little of my childhood on Saturday when we headed along to see Sky High, the new Disney movie featuring Kurt Russell and a host of young actors. The story has the kids of super heroes going to a high school especially for trainee heroes and sidekicks. There’s also a wonderful cameo by Lynda Carter as the school principal.

It was interesting to see the variety of super powers the kids had. Everything from a girl who could change herself into a guinea pig to kids who could fly, stretch, create fire or even just lift very heavy objects.

It was a great movie and we all enjoyed it. I reckon James will be acting the story out for some time.

I still think that I’d pick flying if I could have a super power. I always thought that Batman was a second rate hero without the ability to fly. How about you? Super strength, invisibility, what would you choose?

  • Long-range teleportation… the kind where I could grab my wife and *POOF* we’re in Paris (without a passport).

    Or… *POOF*

    I’m backstage at the Grammy’s and slapping Bono a high-five.

    Or… *POOF*

    I’m in New Orleans getting people out of harms way.

  • I’m with you – although I enjoyed Batman, I never felt he was a super hero. He was just a man in a funny suit.

    My favorite was Superman, although The Flash came in a close second.

    If I was a super hero, I’d want the ability to make toast without burning it.

  • apparently I’m “roster girl” and my super power is that I’m able to fill in for any vocalist in our church who can’t make it on sunday 😀
