    Stick around until the credit is done. Trust me, it is worth it.

    Saw it last night, the theater was packed. Loved it.


    Lots of good movies this summer- Indy 4, Batman, Hellboy 2, Speed Racer (maybe), Wall-e, Redbelt (if you like David Mamet films). Let's just say I have a full movie-going schedule this summer...

    I totally recommend Hellboy I...plus you get Gerald McBoing-Boing cartoons as an extra on the DVD...I grew up on those...as did Hellboy, apparently, which is why they're on the DVD.

    Today was Free Comic Book Day and they were handing out a twelve page comic that was a set-up for the Hellboy II movie.

    And Indy IV! Even my mom is hepped up about that!

    WOW. Holy ****, I loved this movie. Let me put it this way, I went for the 10:00 showing Friday night and stayed for the 12:30 showing too. I have never seen a movie twice in the theater ever (well this one time, I took two girls on dates and they wanted to see the same movie, but that's different).
    My nephew saw it three times because he went with his other uncle earlier in the evening.

    I'm not going to spoil anything but STAY UNTIL AFTER THE CREDITS.
    . He really did an outstanding job.
    It's actually sort of interesting that the movie is so good because it doesn't really have too many "wow" scenes. It's not super action packed either, but it also doesn't drag with the story. There wasn't a scene in the movie I thought should have been cut, and there wasn't a thing missing from the movie I would have liked to seen added.

    There were a lot of little hints and nods to the comics in the movie, things Marvel readers will pick up on. The soundtrack was awesome and I'll probably get it as soon as it comes out.

    Robert Downey Jr. is freaking GENIUS as Tony Stark. I read in an interview where he actually had a hand in shaping a lot of his own lines. If that's true then he should do it all the time because he was totally believable as Tony through the whole thing. Even more amazing is the job Jeff Bridges did. Man, he was just chewing up the scenes he was in, and he makes one hell of a scary bad guy. Playing a villain is something I never figured him for but he pulled it off incredibly.

    Speaking of Incredible... The trailer for The Incredible Hulk before the movie looked awesome. I wanted to see this movie after viewing the first trailer online, but seeing this second trailer really makes we want to see it. I always like Tim Roth as a bad guy but it looks like he outdoes himself in this role.

    It was a great movie night, and remember STAY UNTIL AFTER THE CREDITS.

    I thought he did a great job in Rob Roy. Love that movie.

    Oh, cool Robert Downey Jr. story that happened today

    My brother in law Joe is a big sports autograph collector and Lakers fan. This morning he was at the Lakers game and while waiting around he saw one the free newspapers that had a full page cover with Iron Man on it. He was reading through it, waiting to go in, and all of a sudden one of those Audi convertibles that Tony Stark drives in the movie pulls up. Jokingly, he says "hey look, it's Robert Downey Jr." Well it wasn't, but about five minutes later a SECOND Audi pulls up only this one has been stretched into a limo and sure enough, Robert Downey Jr. gets out. Turns out one of the kids in line next to my brother in law was actually his nephew. Since he had his sharpie on him, Joe got RDJ's autograph on the paper with the Iron Man picture.

    It doesn't end there though. After the game on the way out Joe had grabbed another paper and waited around for Robert Downey Jr. to come out again. He signed a few more autographs for a couple people, and Joe asked for his autograph again but he just got in the limo. My brother in law says "Aw come on man, I took my son to see your movie three times on Friday, would you sign this?"

    Robert Downey Jr says "You took your son to see my movie three times this weekend?"
    Joes says "No, I took him three times just on FRIDAY."
    RDJ got out of the limo and signed the paper to my nephew.

    Pretty cool I think. Joe said Downey looked overwhelmed by the fan reaction too, like he was just a bit awed that everyone wanted to take pictures with him and get his autograph. Not surprising really, I think Iron Man made more this weekend alone than all his other movies combined.

    If you ever have any doubts about Downey's abilities, rent "Chaplin".

    Once you get a look at that one, you'll be among those of us who have been hoping that he can put all the distractions behind him and get down to some serious work...sounds like "Iron Man" is a step in that direction.

    I guarantee that they won't give him an Oscar nom for "Iron Man" but watch out for a movie called "The Soloist"...I heard things....

    I liked the part where Tony thanks Mr. Heffner for coming.

    STAY UNTIL AFTER THE CREDITS
