That was a good flic.

Iron Man was good. I'm not a big comic book guy, so I don't know how well it matched up to the comic book.

I don't know where the fuck it came from, maybe one of my guy's $26 for 50 kung fu movie bargains from ebay....

Omega Cop is easily, hands down, the cheesiest, poorly acted, horribly fight choreographed, minimum budget, those were special effects?, post-apocalyptic flicks I've ever suffered through. but it does have Batman in it (Adam West)....

every one should see it. we watched the whole thing just to see how bad it could get.

Sure enjoyed that movie! I read Ironman comics as a kid, but don't remember a whole lot about it. It was updated, if nothing else, that's for sure.

We ended up seeing Speed Racer today. It was a lot better than I expected it to be! Dave had to give me a quick rundown of the show, :oops: . It was entertaining, regardless. The kids had a blast...they really enjoyed it.

I got a kick out of seeing the guys who played "Prothero" and "Dascomb" from "V for Vendetta" in it. Not surprising it being Directed by the Wachowski Bros. as well.

Definitely worth the ticket!

It was fun. Good soundtrack too. AC/DC, Suicidal Tendencies, Black Sabbath

I watched Sweeny Todd on PPV.

The singing was so overwhelming, I wanted to kill myself.

I took the family out to see Iron Man yesterday.

We thought it was great. Action packed, interesting story line/concept. I think the suddenness of the ending sucked though.

Indiana Jones 4 was OK. It was substandard, compared to the previous 3. Even 2 was better, and I'm not too keen on 2. I a big Indiana Jones fan, and there was just something different about this movie; maybe parts of it were too unrealistic, I don't know.

I saw Indiana Jones 4, but I thought it was pretty good. Sure there is some bogus Sci Fi in it, but it is non stop action and I think Harrison Ford did a great job. He really does not look that much older at all and he still woops more ass then anyone else on the silver screen. It is definately worth 8 bucks to see!
