iron man
For the first time in a long time I went to see a movie opening weekend yesterday. Iron Man to me lived up to the hype behind it. The movie moved along nicely. I actually forced myself to look at my watch only once, to see how long it took for stark to wear Mark I. (30 min not bad.) I felt there was a good balance between Stark and Iron Man scenes. And if you have not seen the movie or had it spoiled for you already, there is something after the credits. It is worth the wait if you are a fan of comics. Ever since it was first printed Marvel fans waited for that moment to happen on screen. Very satisfied with the Iron Man movie even if the end was a bit weak.
Also yesterday I watched Across the Universe and the Golden Compass. Across the Universe I regret not watching while on halucinagens. The movie tended to jump (and at times totally lose me.) The integration of the songs was done pretty well. Story was very very basic though.
Golden Compass. Pretty good. It felt Narniaesque. I had no idea that it was part of a trilogy until after I watched it. The ending seemed really weak still even knowing that there were two more movies to follow. But that is my only real complaint about the movie.
Got a netflix account so I will be catching up on a good chunk of the movies I missed (No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Sweeney Todd, etc.) as well as the ones that I blinked and missed the run in theatres (Diary of the Dead, Day of the Dead, etc.)
Emma goes in for her 18 month checkup soon. >_< Time really flies. Not too much else to update. I'll try to update more frequently......even if its just movie reviews.
