When I was growing up I really enjoyed watching shows/movies about super heroes. I'll throw in the martial arts movies and the 'James Bond' genre as well. Basically in one way or another they are all about the same thing......righting a wrong. From Indiana Jones to Bruce Lee. I saw a pretty good movie this weekend.....Iron Man. While watching the news this morning I heard that Iron Man grossed over 100 million dollars this weekend.....second place grossed almost 15 million. What a difference! A lot of people are like me.....they love a good hero! I loved the story line (by the way I'm not a comic book fanatic who knows the history of Iron Man) of the movie. There was a real transformation of the character that I think we can all relate to. That's why I liked him so much. As he became a hero.....he became more human. Anyways......
We're all doing well. I've been enjoying the nice weather. Been planting in the yard. Working on the house. It's been ideal. The family is doing well. I know Denise can't wait for school to be out. I can't say that I blame her.
Until next time.....
Last weekend we (Denise, Carolina and I) headed off to see the next installment of the Chronicles of Narnia. Overall Denise and I were a bit disappointed with the movie. Carolina loved it. Most of our disappointment centered around Peter and his attitude throughout the movie and changes in the order of events of the movie. I did enjoy Reepicheep. Also, Aslan didn't show up until the end of the movie. By far.....I think the first movie was better than this one. Oh yea......we loved the Phoenix (I assumed it was) carrying the children into battle. That was cool.
This weekend we saw the new installment of Indiana Jones. We were really impressed. Although the whole Area 51/Alien plot was a bit weird (for an Indiana Jones movie). Also, I was surprised to learn some new information about Dr. Jones....his military record...being a spy and a ranked officer. I didn't know that....others may have.....but I didn't. The atomic bomb explosion was cool.....love those old fridges. The ants were also really cool. The scene where Mutt did a Tarzan was excellent. Even though I thought the plot was a bit weird.....I really liked it. Personally.....I doubt there will ever be another Indiana Jones flick with Harrison Ford.......but I can see it branching off into a Stargate-ish series with Mutt (Henry Jones III) starring in the lead. That's just my thought.........good movie......go see it!
