Arrested Development: The Movie

In by far the best news I have heard today, it appears that Michael Cera has finally caved and agreed to do the Arrested Development movie. This is truly something to look forward to, as this was one of the most brilliant shows ever on television. If you've never seen it, get your act together and start watching!

This movie is looking pretty good. If only Warner Bros hadn't pushed the release date back to the summer...

Movie Review: Ironman

On an impulse I went to see Ironman this afternoon. I have been wanting to see it before it left the theaters, so I dropped in the recently reopened Marina Theatre for the 1:15 PM showing. 

I know that superhero movies are not for everyone, but I really liked it. I thought it was funny, had pretty good action, and a great story. I was really hooked by the technology and how amazing these gadgets are that Tony Stark (the lead character) created. 

I thought that Robert Downey Jr. was perfect for the role of Tony Stark. He has that understated delivery of his lines that make him seem cocky and likable at the same time. 

I'm not much of a critic, but I do recommend Ironman, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. 

Archaeology is cool again!

Well, I'm probably the only person in America blogging about this, and I felt someone needed to turn some attention towards a movie that many people on the East Coast have just sat down to watch as I write this. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull opens nationwide at 12:01 AM Thursday morning. 

I briefly considered going to the premiere tonight (and tickets were still available on Tuesday morning), but then I remembered that I am 27 years old and have a real job and wanting to vicariously be a dashing, adventurous archaeologist is not a valid excuse for being a waste of space all day tomorrow.  

Early reviews (NY Times, Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert) are moderately positive and it is clear that this movie is going to make a boatload of money, especially over this Memorial Day weekend. I won't be seeing the movie until late next week, so I'll do my best to patiently wait until then.

P.S. I'm watching the American Idol finale right now and they just brought some terrible singer back from the auditions and he's singing and all of a sudden the USC song girls and the band march onto the stage. I'd rather they shamelessly promote Fox movies and TV shows than show this total unentertaining randomness. Just give us the results already!
