Back to the Future

Last weekend I was looking for a tape I could use to record the season premier of 24 (the process I refer to as budget TiVo). I found a tape labeled "Back to the Future" and wondered if anybody had watched it in the last 10 years. Probably not, but when I popped it in, I ended up watching for a while and thinking I need to revisit the movie. I haven't watched it yet, but it is in my Netflix queue. I stumbled across this lego BTTF creation that reminded me again that I want to watch it. I makes me wonder what other 80's movies I need to revisit.

I am probably way behind the geek curve here, but I just read that Iron Man has passed the test and the sequel is already under way. Also mentioned in the article are Thor and Captain America movies. Link to article.

Iron Man

Saturday night I went to see Iron Man and was not disappointed. I haven't followed the comics too much, so I'm not sure how true they are to them, but I thought the movie was awesome. The casting was very good, the effects were sharp, and I liked the story. Kris Tina liked it too even though she had NO desire to see it before we went. Thanks to Adam, we were able to convince the ladies to go - nice work.

I think Marvel is doing a great job of bringing to life its universe. Iron Man isn't exactly a household name like Batman or Spiderman, yet the movie pulled in about $100 million this weekend. Nice work Marvel. Let the summer movies begin - so far it's looking good. I fully recommend this movie.
