How about a game of “Find Stan Lee”?

Yesterday, I went to see Iron Man merely on a whim—I just happened to be at a mall killing some time when I saw the posters for this movie. Before that, I didn’t know almost anything about the character; I wasn’t one of those people who were eagerly waiting for its release. So I went inside the theater with little expectations.

It didn’t disappoint. The movie rocked! I’m not into comics so I don’t know if the story stayed true to canon, but it sure didn’t leave me in the dark. There were parts that dragged (it was the same parts that made me go, “Come on wear the suit already!”) but the action sequences made up for them. I initially had doubts over Robert Downey Jr. donning a superhero suit, but he did great actually as the egotistical Tony Stark (the role seemed to be custom-fit for him, heheh). He and Gwyneth Paltrow had such great chemistry on screen, it kinda made me feel sorry that I had to miss their dance scene only because I had to go pee! Oh, and I loved the soundtrack!

I’m just not sure though if this film is alright for little kids to see. There were scenes in it that made me want to put my hands over the four-year-old boy sitting beside me. Adults, however, are going to have a fun time watching this.

Here’s a tip for those who are planning to see Iron Man: Stay in your seats up until the end of the credits. ;)

I’m so addicted to this stuff! I’ve been advised by my doctor to cut down on tea (and coffee) since I have stomach problems, but I’m afraid that if I quit drinking milk tea cold-turkey, I’ll have serious withdrawal issues… :p

I think I may have fallen in love with Jim Carrey after watching this movie. I hated Jim Carrey, damn it.

This is my happy faaaaaaaaace!

I’ve seen this movie many times on cable before, but I never got to watch it all the way through, so I have no idea exactly what the film is all about—save for that song “Scotty Doesn’t Know”. I thought that the college jock-type dude singing this song was a mere extra on the movie—well maybe someone who’s had this one shot at Hollywood fame via this movie and then never to be heard from again.

It was only much later, after reading about the Kimmel/Affleck thing and clicking through the related links, when I realized that the guy singing is, in fact, Matt Damon.

Like, whoa! How could I have missed this! In fact, I still had no idea it was Matt Damon until about a minute into this clip. Well color me duh!

I hated it. Fsck fsck fscking hated it.

Okay, so I enjoyed watching about 90% of the movie, and it did keep me on the edge of my seat throughout most of it…but the twist at the end? It made me literally shout, “What. The. HELL?!” I’m sorry, but I’m not fond of movies with such a crappy ending. bleh.

“Let’s kill these hours and fill desire.” (Neverlost)

I liked it—this is coming from someone who isn’t a big fan of teen movies. A lot of the dialogue, Amanda Bynes’ quirkiness, and Channing Tatum’s adorable goofball-in-a-jock’s-body personality made me laugh out loud. I couldn’t get enough of the scene where [spoiler] he had to jump onto the bed with Amanda and scream like a girl as a tarantula crawled across the floor. Even the “Do you like cheese?” part made me snicker (although towards the end I thought it turned a little…uh…cheesier). It’s one of the few teen flicks I’ve seen that I enjoyed a lot. :)

Some of the scenes made me cry. Damn I’m such a wuss. :-p
(and whoa does Steve Carell look HOT in this film!)
