The comic book hero movie of the summer is here. Aren’t viewers tired of these re-enactment of favorite comic books? The answer with regard to this movie is a firm NO! After a couple of blockbuster comic book movie DUDS such as Spiderman 3, Daredevil, and Elektra, I was starting to wonder if this movie was going to be the same!
The truth is that Robert Downey Jr. did a fairly good job in the role of Tony Stark who creates this Iron Man in order to escape from terrorists trying to steal his defense arms designs. Starks, then continues to perfect his design in order to protect people affected by the black market sale of his own company’s defense arms designs. Other actors to be watched in this movie are Gwyneth Paltrow in the role of Starks’ assistant Pepper Pots, Terrence Howard in the role of James Rhodes and Jeff Bridges in the role of Obadiah Stane.
The movie has great special effects and I must admit that seeing Iron Man in his first fight seen was pretty awsome!

I Am Legend depicted by the brilliant Will Smith is definitely a must buy DVD. Based on the 1954 Fiction novel by Richard Matheson, Smith depicts a doctor who is the last man standing after a man made virus affects the human race.
The movie is set in a deserted New York city, where Smith fights for survival while trying to find a cure for this deadly virus to assure the survival of mankind.
This movie is worth it just to watch Will Smith do bare chested pull-ups alone! The actor seems to be coming into his own and simply gets better and better with every movie he makes. He no longer is the young comedic Fresh Prince of Bel Air, but a seriously talented actor that brings the best of the best to the big screen.
The story line of this movie really makes you wonder…even if it is fiction…if this is what we could be heading for…. :s

Attention Ladies! The next classic Love Story is coming out on DVD May 6th, 2008. I know the reviews are not that great for this movie, but as a hard core sucker for a good love story, I suggest you see it. This is a great movie that you can just curl up in a ball on a couch, with a bucket of popcorn or perhaps a bowl of ice cream and whipped cream and just bask in the joys and pains of a beautiful Love Story.
The Story is set around a young widow who through letters from her dead husband learns to get back on her feet and live again without her him. As she goes through each stage of recovery, she discovers a little more about herself.
This movie portrayed by a star cast takes you through the emotional roller coaster that is love. Such stars include Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, James Marsters, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon, Kathy Bates, Harry Connick Jr., etc. etc.
This movie will have you laugh and cry but will definitely leave you with a deep understanding that everything that happens to you in life makes you who you are for better or worse, and only you can decide what you can do with the cards that have been dealt to you.
