Burn After Reading

Dark comedies are really either a hit or a miss on an individual level. I personally loved this film, and yet I have had to tell a few friends that they might want to save their money because it just wasn't their kind of humour. It really comes down to so many things in this film a ridiculous yet plausible if seen from only one point of view. Misunderstandings, assumptions, and stupidity are often constants in comedy, while in this we also have someone with complete lack of self confidence, another person that just can't seem to get enough sex, and one that is just wanting to do the right thing for someone they care about. There were moments in this that I was laughing so hard I started to tear up, and others that I was just so shocked that they would show certain things. For a few days I was stuck on what grade to give this because dark comedies hard to gage for other people just went back to my standards, (acting, writing, pace, continuity) so because there are small moments in this film that it does drag a bit I'm going to give this film an A-. Acting is par for the course for everyone that is in it, and for the writing well it's the Coen brothers if you have seen their stuff you know what you are in for. Again this film gets an A-.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

A little bit of animated Star Wars for children can go a long way. I was neither impressed or disappointed in this film. I went in to it with the knowledge that this was a Star Wars for children with the occasional moment for their parents. The animation for this film was done really well (no big surprise there), and the storyline was not too complicated for children yet not too boring for adults. This film did however have its lulls and there were times that I looked at my watch to see how much was left but over all I would say if you are looking for a good matinee to take the kids to and get out of the heat this would be a good bet. I give this film a B.
I'm not going to argue the gay Hut point that is not what this page is about but if you want to know my opinion on it feel free to email me and ask me.

Iron Man

Fantastic doesn't begin to say it. There was no moment in this entire film that I was bored, looking at the time, or even slightly thinking of anything but what on the screen in front of me. The acting in this film was better then most people would expect for an action film, the special effects were outstanding and still not overdone, and the story moved and a pace that let you take it all in and never let down. There are few films that really give you the whole package but this was really one of them.
While as much as I love this film I will say I don't think it's a film to bring small children to. There are some graphic war scenes that may be disturbing.
I give this film an A+. If you haven't seen this film please get your self to a theatre that is still showing it before it's too late.
