Last weekend was pretty active for watching movies – which means I was largely inactive. Here’s a quick rundown:
Iron Man
Exceeded my expectations! Not a thinker’s flick by any means, but finally a comic conversion I actually enjoyed, a lot. Granted, I’ve always like the idea of this billionaire inventor who actually engineers his way to super herodom, instead of all the freak cosmic ray mishaps that transform your usual caped/web throwing reluctant hero (thinking about it now, I guess Bruce Wayne is similar to Tony Stark, but Stark’s stuff is way better). Nice post-credits teaser, too.
An Inconvenient Truth
D and I finally sat down to watch this and it was very interesting. Like any docu, I suppose the info presented can be debated, but it is well done and engaging and the data depicted (and in particular the rate of change in the data) is alarming. We followed it with watching an update Gore gave at a recent TED talk. Who’s ready for solar panels and a hybrid? This guy. Heck, you can even get both in one.
Good Luck Chuck
Just like Dane Cook’s comedy – brash, crude, and at times, so much so to a fault. There’s some genuine laughs in there, but there’s a ton of in your face lowbrow gags as well. Not even Jessica Alba can make up for vision of Dane with the penguin in the closing credits.
