A Great Time at the Movies

This sequel is everything a summer popcorn movie should be: great characters, beautiful actors, laugh-out-loud humor, action that still makes sense, and lots of razzle dazzle that supports the story (rather than replaces the story). Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark is just as funny, sexy, and as likable as in 'Iron Man I.' I love this super-hero franchise because Iron Man's only 'super power' is being rich and smart. The villains are smart and bitter. Sam Rockwell plays a fantastic villain fueled by equal parts old-fashioned greed and pride. This was a great night out and certainly worth the ticket price. I highly recommend.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Another Look at Iraqi Front Lines

Matt Damon delivers another authentic performance as a real guy (although more handsome and compelling to watch than most real guys) working as an Army officer in Iraq, circa 2003.
His job is to locate weapons of mass destruction; however, he and his team keep coming up empty.
As he becomes more and more frustrated, he begins working with an unpopular CIA agent.
Although this movie certainly suggests that the Iraq war was unfounded (if the reasoning was WMDs), it is not an anti-war movie...nor is it "soft" on action, bad-ass Special Forces sequences, or noble-minded Americans trying to make the best of a bad situation. Damon plays a good guy, working with other good guys....The grey area is who is bad and who is not.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

An Absolute Delight

If you love costume dramas, historical films, royalty, or Emily Blunt, you will not be disappointed by this beautiful and moving portrayal of Queen Elizabeth's early years on the throne of England.
Costumes are stunning, history proves to be a riveting narrative, acting is impeccable, and love story is tender and believable.
Fantastic afternoon or evening at the movies!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
