The CW is trying to fill in the gap left by Smallville and may possibly have found a replacement in their new show, Arrow. The series stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.
The trailer reminds me too much of the show Birds of Prey from 2002; a show that didn’t exactly perform well with viewers back then. Then again, Arrow does stand a better chance considering that comic books have become more mainstream.
Nevertheless, Arrow could use some of the goofy charm from Smallville. It’d be hard to stay interested in a show that takes itself too seriously.
Arrow debuts in the CW’s lineup this fall, on Wednesdays at 8 PM.

Unimaginative writer-directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the men behind witless films such as Disaster Movie and Vampires Suck, are at it again to prove their unoriginal brand of humor. This time, their movie is entitled The Starving Games. Clever, right?
