By today's standards, the special effects in Superman, screening Saturday at the Lucas Theatre, are strictly low–rent. The film was made in 1978, before the arrival of CGI, and while the effects aren't as cheesy as those in the old Superman TV series from the '50s, it's key to remember that Star Wars, which raised the bar for such things, had already come and gone, in 1977.

Movie reviews: 'The Amazing Spider-Man,' 'Ted,' 'People Like Us'

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN **1/2 (In theaters Tuesday, July 3) Perhaps it's best to think of Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man and Marc Webb's 2012 The Amazing Spider-Man as the cinematic equivalents of Coke Classic and New Coke. Despite some alterations to the source material (hey, where's Gwen Stacy?), the Raimi take earned the trust of most purists, offering a near-perfect Peter Parker in Tobey Maguire, treating the origin story in appropriate fashion (right down to the ...
