MacGruber
A sort of spoof of MacGyver and every other call-in-the-best-guy-we-got action flic. It was stupid. But if you saw the previews, you knew that. Yes, I laughed, but it wasn't because of cleverness or creativity; it was mostly awkwardness or marveling at the stupidity. I don't want to recommend that other people see this, but I can't say that I was not entertained. I particularly loved what they did with the last two explosion sound effects--clearly, no one was taking this movie seriously.

Princess Kaiulani
I don't recommend this one. The story of the last Hawaiian Princess was one worth telling and should be more widely known. However, this version did the tale little justice--I'm a little hurt that the star was not Hawaiian or even Polynesian. The acting was flat. The characters lacked consistency, relateable motivations, and the concocted love story seemed just that. Again, more people should know her story. So click here to see what Wikipedia says about her (which I found to be more interesting than the movie), and save the $10--if it's even playing near you.

Iron Man 2 (Charlie)
Yes! Finally!
I have been looking forward to a lot of movies this year and most of them have been a let down. NOT this movie!
Iron Man 2 takes place about a year after the last movie. That's all i am going to tell you about the story! So go see it tonight!
Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke join the cast as Iron Man's new villains. They kind of steal the show. Don Cheadle takes over the roll that Terrence Howard played in the first movie. I don't like when they do this with movies but i did not even notice it. Cheadle fit right in and did a great job as usual.
And... did you think i was going to do a review on Iron Man 2 and not mention Scarlett? What can i say... How about... Ryan Reynolds is a lucky man. She also did a great job and has a kick ass fight scene.
I really had a fun time and recommend Iron Man 2
Make sure you stay through the credits when you go see it!
