There sure is a lot of movie watching to be done these days! I saw Forbidden Kingdom a few days ago and it was cool. I saw Iron Man last night and it was awesome. Tony Stark is easily the most charismatic super hero ever. I only wish the movie had just a little more Iron Man action, but was otherwise extremely well crafted storywise. And Stark's technology was supremely kickass. I want his computer. And the Iron Man suit was simply one of the coolest things I've ever seen in a movie.

Tonight I saw Cloverfield on DVD and it was really intense, I thought it was brilliant how the video in the camera kept breaking up and slipping back to Rob's older video of Beth. Very clever story telling technique, and about a trillion times better use of the cinema verite style than Blair Witch. Maybe a trillion and five times better.

Up next...Speed Racer, which looks to be some of the sweetest eye candy since Ghost in the Shell II. Then Narnia II, The Dark Knight, Indiana Jones 4, and Hellboy II. And those are just the movies I'm definitely seeing...there's still a bunch I'd like to see, like Tropic Thunder and maybe Kung Fu Panda. It's a good thing I've given up on spending money on video games, because otherwise there would be no way I could afford to go watch all these movies. Anyway I'm sure GTA 4 will sell one quintillion copies even without me.
