IRON MAN 2

The first IRON MAN movie was a planet-crusher. IRON MAN 2, well, maybe it could crush a small moon or something. It's still a full-fledged, fun-filled ferrous romp, but, like all superhero sequels, suffers from cramming us with characters and classic storylines in its desperate need to impress. My hole feels stretched. Not in that good way either.

IRON MAN 2 opens in exhilaration: over AC/DC's Shoot To Thrill, Iron Man jets through night skies over city lights, camera/we on his steel shoulders, feeling the weight of the armor, the gut-thumping power of the afterburners in his boots, inhaling the burning breeze as he plummets like a missile into a packed amphitheater, landing onstage in a pose that can only be described as THOOM! You don't applaud an entrance like that. You throw panties.

RIVERWORLD 2010

Cry me a river...

THE BOOK OF ELI

When Gunslingers Get Religion.

UP IN THE AIR
Release: Dec 09 - Review: 15 Apr 10

Loner Class.
... it's a movie about romance, but it's not a Romantic Movie; it takes us on a bucking and diving flight across the landscape of human emotions and leaves us... up in the air.

AVATAR
Release: Dec 09 - Review: 1 Jan 10

Electra Glide in Jungle Cat Blue.

Frank Zappa once said, "Writing about music is like tap dancing about architecture." And there's no way to describe James Cameron's AVATAR without a lot of tap dancing.

COLD SOULS
Release: Nov 09 - Review: 26 Mar 10

Hauntingly hilarious.

A darker journey than ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and a blacker comedy than BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, COLD SOULS is a disturbing, unique gem of a movie.
