Iron Man

May 3rd, 2008

Iron Man is not the story of a guy who presses his own laundry. It does involve a billionaire genius in a metal with the iron irony being that not much of it could possibly be iron but probably some other ultra bullet proof alloy. Iron just wouldn’t survive the ordinance he faces in this getup (with even more irony) against sophisticated munitions also of his invention. The suit comes to ligh ...

The Visitor

April 25th, 2008

The Visitor is written and directed by Thomas McCarthy who ironically also has a bit part in Baby Mama. With wry wit he shuffles the largely unknown cast through this heart warming story.
