MOVIE REVIEW: Iron Man 2 Hot for Summertime

Posted by   on May 9, 2010 · 1 comment

With the current trend of Hollywood movies,  sequels have to follow a unique blend of key ingredients in order to make it taste good. First, it has to keep the spirit of the first film alive and well. Next, it has to bigger, better, and stonger than the last. The sequel has to give us that sweet taste that we want to come back for more. Finally, the next movie has to give you more insight of the characters we grew to know from the first movie then wrap it all up with a new story that appeases a newbie. While Iron Man 2 had some ups and downs like a rollercoasters, it still delivers high quality entertainment with its action scenes, less CGI, and solved the problems of the first Iron Man. Truly, this movie is the front runner of the 2010 summer of movies!

MOVIE REVIEW: Iron Man 2: More is Less!

Posted by   on May 6, 2010

in Movie Reviews,Movies

One of the hardest things to do in movies is create a sequel that equals or betters its predecessor. Iron Man 2 dos not meet that challenge – but it’s nowhere near being a bad movie.

Repulsor Ray

The problem is that IM2 has to do a lot of things: it has to further the story of Tony Stark/Iron Man [Robert Downey Jr.]; it has to give us a bit more about S.H.I.E.L.D. – both in terms of the Avengers Initiative and introducing one of the agency’s top agents; it has to deal with Stark’s drinking and his relationship with his father – not to mention his relationship with his assistant, the uber-competent but easily flustered Pepper Potts [Gwyneth Paltrow]; it has to get Stark’s friend, Lt. Col. James, “Rhodey” Rhodes into one of the Iron Man suits; it has to introduce a new villain – and a competitor for Stark, and it has to do all this in just over two hours.

A Drunken Iron Man 2 Disappoints Michelle!

Iron Man 2 is one of those movies that is perplexing to me. If you ask the question – did I enjoy it, I would say, yeah, sure, it’s a big dumb action movie, but man is it a disappointing mess that’s all over the place, with no real highs. The original Iron Man wanted to be more than a common summer action movie and largely succeeded. It was amazing but left me feeling cold, this one I connected with a bit more but there are issues. Starting with, Downey’s portrayal of Tony Stark as a narcissistic booze hound with very little depth.

MOVIE REVIEW: Sherlock Holmes – An Engaging Trifle That Mixes The Supernatural and Steampunk!

Posted by   on December 27, 2009

in Movie Reviews,Movies

Let me be perfectly clear – although I’ve read the Holmes canon several time, and fifty or sixty [or so] of the multitudes of Holmes pastiches, I am not a Baker Street Irregular. Still, I would imagine that most Irregulars would find much to enjoy about Guy Ritchie’s take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s immortal creation – but they would likely also [like me] find some jarring errors that do, indeed, detract from what is, essentially, a fun diversion.

One of the more egregious goofs concerns Dr. John H. Watson’s [Jude Law] first wife, Mary Morstan [Kelly Reilly], whom Holmes meets – in the canon, at least – while in the company of the good doctor. Not so here – though, as if to make up for that blunder, Ritchie’s Morstan has the kind of steel to her that attracted Watson in the canon.

Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes is one Ugly Looking Movie so says Michelle!

Posted by   on December 27, 2009 · 2 comments

in Movie Reviews,Movies

With the release of this year’s big budget Hollywood version of the iconic British detective, Sherlock Holmes, I thought now would be a great time to delve into Holmes’ world. I’ll admit up until this year I didn’t read the books, watch any of the old movies or TV shows that featured the character. The first thing I did was download the Complete Sherlock Holmes collection onto my Kindle. I’m currently going through The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, so far I like it a lot but it’s not something I felt attached to. By the 6th short story in the collection, I figured out the formula and it got a bit boring. The collection is made for short bursts of reading, like on a metro ride to and from work. I rented Young Sherlock Holmes – which I loved and the early BBC Holmes on Netflix Instant Watch and enjoyed both.
