Since Spiderman and X-Men’s success I think Hollywood has at last tapped into a Genre which has fresh story lines for the picking. And now every year there are more and more super hero movies for us to enjoy. I hope it just keeps on growing, and for this year Iron Man was above and beyond our expectations and there is still more to look forward to this year. And in 2009 there are a few good movies coming up, the sooner they come out the better.

• X-Men Origins: Wolverine
• Transformers 2
• Watchmen
• Dragonball
• G.I. Joe

This turned out to be an interesting movie, it didn’t do well in the box office but it isn’t a bad movie. The Spanish Fleet carrying a queen’s dowry was caught in a storm with her gold sinking in the ocean. Matthew McConaughey is a treasure hunter stuck in the Bahamas, he is a complete mess and doesn’t know how to take care of himself. Kate Hudson who fell in love with this crazy man because they just get carried away, and she wants to be him with a frying pan because of his attitude. Because of their funny combination its just funny throughout, but there a few parts which were uncalled for, still remained entertaining though. Donald Sutherland played an odd role in the movie, and the story line is short and sweet so it is worth a watch.

Harrison Ford is back and kicking as Indiana Jones, jumping in graves and beating people up. How we all remember Indiana Jones so fondly, enjoyed the movies, and wanted more. I have had the boxset since it came out a couple of years ago, so I had high expectations for this movie. From the moment you start watching it you get a complete understanding of the time they are in, and Indiana Jones has grown older you can see it and feel it, it gives an authentic feel to him. As it picks up Shia LaBeouf enters into the movie and he flows perfectly, I really liked the character he played, it added a different flavor to the movie. It was a little bit longer then it should have been but overall it was an Indiana Jones movie, the ending won’t be accepted by everyone but still a damn good movie at that.

I heard a lot about this movie, the colorful design, and some critics who weren’t too happy with the movie. After some mixed reviews I didn’t have the highest expectation for this movie, but I am very happy I went into this movie with that attitude. It turned out to be a lot better then I expected, the characters were just as colorful as the whole movie special affects were. You get pulled into the racing nature of the world they live in, you learn how Speed became the driver that he is and what happened to his brother Rex. The stunts in this movie are fantastic, you think it really is speed racer from back in the day. I think they took it one more step which took the movie from good to great, you aren’t just curious about the car, but you get pulled into the dilemma that Speed Racer faces in front of him. The car is pretty cool but the story is that much better, and his brother Spritle and the chimp add a great comic feel to the movie. There is a tone of seriousness in this colorful movie, but you do get up and want speed racer to win every time. If you enjoyed Speed Racer as a kid then you will enjoy this movie, it isn’t for everyone and if you are easily nauseated then don’t watch this movie, for the rest just enjoy the trip.

When a small time criminal sees the biggest heist of the century right in front of him, it is just too good to be true. Unbeknown to him he is right in the middle of a very dirty affair, between the highest levels of the UK Government and the lowest vermin of the underworld. Terry (Jason Statham) sees that he and his team could make bundle from this bank heist, Martine is setting up most of the details. The are aiming for the safe deposit boxes with all the daimonds and cash, but they don’t know they contain secrets which everyone is after. The story revolves around a 1970s bank robbery on London’s Baker Street which there are still no details of. The movie is very well made with many twists and turns that keep you glued to the screen. Jason did an excellent job playing terry, with the perfect cast for this movie. I hope keeps making movies of this quality, any person will really enjoy this action packed movie.

Never did I think that a movie can bring down your IQ level just by watching it. We couldn’t even finish the damn movie it was so ridiculous. Its about some guys who have this nature show, but its more like a bunch of drunk and high guys making a show with some animals with some interesting results. I thought this would be a funny movie from the cast, but it was one of the worst of all time.

I always liked this type of patchy art work, and this painting has my favorite. They sell it as a normal print canvas or you can have them commission the painting to be painted. I wouldn’t know where to put this painting in my house, but one thing is for sure, it is a piece that every fan should have. The only thing going through my mind when I look at it is “WE ARE SPARTAAAAANNSSS”

I have been waiting for this movie for some time, thinking its going to be a some thing like resident evil with some cool action. Then there was Rhona Mitra, who is very hot which is another positive aspect of this movie. I was sorely disappointed with this movie, it went from an action movie such as 28 weeks later to crazy world such as Espcape from New York, then jumped into Castles and Fortresses such as Robin Hood. I didn’t know where they were going with it, but it was a roller coaster and I kept looking at my watch. If you haven’t seen this movie, then don’t, it isn’t the worst movie out there, but it could have been a lot better.

I have always been a fan of Ironman, and other Marvel Comic characters, mostly all comic characters, especially the interesting superheros who have flaws. Right now Ironman the movie has got my blood going, and as I was browsing through the slideshow website, I stumbled upon this life size bust. Its is th realistic size of the top half of Ironman’s armor and I am really thinking about getting this and placing it on a mantel of some sort, I don’t care where I place it but I have to it, what do you guys think? Oh and the eyes glow.

This movie is everything it promised and more, I have been waiting over a year to see this movie and it was well worth it. I have been a fan of Ironman from the early 90s reading the Marvel comics, he was a superhero you feel you could reach since he was human and developed the technology to able to fight.

I was afraid when I heard Robert Downey Jr. was chosen as Tony Stark, in the comics Tony Stark was this genius who was also troubled, always trying to help and push himself to his limit, he is a solitary man with two lives. Robert Downey Jr. did an amazing job playing Tony Stark, he gave a certain flare to Tony’s darkness which I thought was excellent. The movie was executed perfectly, there was a perfect mix of special effects, it wasn’t overboard. The movie was perfect, you are satisfied with the movie and enjoyed it, but you are left wanting more. Stay after the credits there is a surprise which isn’t to be missed, can’t wait for the next Ironman.
