How was it? Two nights ago I saw Iron Man. I'm ambivelant on it. 10 minutes in I knew every single plot point and how the movie would end... because I've seen "this movie" 100 times. That said, Iron Man is better than 90%+ of those movies in most regards -- better acting, better dialouge, etc. The villain, who, again, you instantly know is the villain the second he first appears on screen, it is revealed is cartoonishly evil at the very end -- and the final battle leaves a bit to be desired. Those reservations aside, however, the movie is entertaining so I reccomend it for mindless fun. But this isn't a good movie the way some other super hero / action/adventure movies are. (eg. Dark Knight or Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Went to see the movie "Helvitica". It is about the eponymous font. The rise and fall and resurrection of a type of type. I slept through a good portion of the movie. The parts for which I was awake, were really boring. Perhaps the most boring, stupid movie I've ever seen.

 i had high expectations for it when it first came out...it came and went pretty fast so i am pretty sure your review is spot on...bummer...  quote: Originally posted by steve8: The Happening.

Watched Burn After Reading this past weekend. I found it very entertaining (I’m a pretty easy movie critic for what it’s worth). Typical quirkiness you would expect from the Coen brothers. Brad Pitt was actually pretty funny. I find he is at his best when he is playing more of an odd character (Snatch/Fight Club/etc). Anyways, I would recommend if you are looking for a laugh.

My daughter wanted to rent Across the Universe. Eh, she's into musicals these days. I thought it would be some pos like Moulin Rouge!, but it turned out to have a decent story to go with it, and some good singing by an attractive cast of unknowns (to me, anyway.)
