Iron Man 2 Delivers!

Well the wait is finally over. The first real summer blockbuster has landed with a bang. Iron Man 2 is everything you want in a sequel: A great story driven film, complimented with incredible action sequences and a load of incredibly chosen actors. It seems to be re-affirmed over again why Favreau was chosen to direct the franchise. He's a boy at heart and is truly invested in the characters here. It translates so well into a story that appeals to the fanboys and the casual summer movie goer. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwenneth Paltrow truly make up some of the great humorous moments in the film (not to mention Sam Rockwell's dance moves) while we get a taste of impeccable acting by Mickey Rourke and Don Cheadle. Also we can never forget about the goodness of more Sam Jackson as Nick Fury and the super human sizzle that Scarlett Johansson brings to heat things up for the baddies. Exciting, full of a robust plot for each of the key players, and a nice set up for future Marvel madness to come; Iron Man, War Machine, Whiplash, Black Widow and more are a shoe in for a second and third viewing. Don't miss it all super sized fun in the IMAX experience as well. Iron Man 2 Rocks! Go see it NOW!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good Irreverent Fun

Repo Men is a fun movie with a surprising plot twist at the end, reminiscent of classic Twilight Zone episodes. Law and Whitaker pull off such a great partnership in the story, with a great bully-buddy back story that bonds them even through the crazy events during the film's progression. Kudos for Miguel Sapochnik for successfully envisioning Garcia and Leners script of a crazy but not too far off premise of medical repo men. I can see this reality show on cable now! If you're a fan of Jude Law and love a good irreverent action/Sci-Fi comedy, then Repo Men is definitely one you won't want to miss.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Story Driven Psychological Thriller!

Scorsese does it again with excellence. Shutter Island is a great film reminiscent of Hitchcock and Rod Serling genius. I won't give the story's amazing plot twist away. Let's just say it's worth the 2 hour and 18 minute ride. Leo's acting is impeccable as always. Such a great choice for the story. Also kudos to Mark Ruffalo for superior supporting magic. Ben Kingsley is such a smooth character as the head of the Asylum. Aside from strong story and and incredible A list of actors, the cinematography was amazing and haunting at the same time through the rain and dreariness of the Island. I give it 5 stars. A must see - at least twice!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
