Iron Man 3 ~ Do Not Miss It!

Like the true nerd I am, I rushed out to see 'Iron Man 3' opening day at the very first showing. I had my fair share of reservations and fears swirling around my head as I entered the theatre. Let's be logical, usually by the time a film series makes it to the third installment it's lost a lot of steam! I feared the same may happen with the much loved 'Iron Man' series. Happily, my fears were put to rest and I had two and a half hours of action packed goodness! Let's get into some details.

I'm going to start with the cast and acting. All gold! Of course Robert Downey Jr. was an unbeatable protagonist. All wit, charm, and sarcasm. Fantastic! We were shown a much deeper and more fearful side of Tony Stark as well. Stark is living with the memories of everything that happened in 'The Avengers' and frankly, it freaked him out! Also, there is a lot more time with Stark not in the Iron Man suit. It's really nice to see him using his whip sharp intellect to sort out his troubles instead of pure brute force.

Seriously, he was flippin' awesome!
Moving on to other characters. The unexpected show stopper was Ben Kingsley as "The Mandarin", the villain. He was absolutely genius! The onscreen confrontation between Iron Man and him was a pleasure the behold. No joke! I heard people in the theatre mumbling about how he should be up for a Supporting Actor Oscar and I must say, I don't disagree. Naturally, Paltrow and Cheadle were both great as well. All in all, everyone did a solid performance!

Next I'm going to touch on the story. Evil terrorists, some genetic modification, and a rival love interest for Pepper? Tony Stark has his work cut out for him! The story is great. The script is great! I was on the edge of my seat all the way through and even laughing out loud at times. If you want full time entertainment, this movie delivers. Some of my favorite parts were when Tony interacts with some of his "fans". Best of all was a perfectly adorable little boy who acts as a stand-in sidekick for part of the movie. The scenes between him and Tony are precious and hilarious!

All in all this is a must see for me! I left the theatre completely happy and satisfied with my experience. Marvel has pulled it off once again! I really can't recommend this movie any higher. I hope you see it and enjoy! Also, don't forget to stay to the end of the credits. See ya later!

    I totally agree with everything you said. This movie was better than Iron Man 2. Much. I LOVED everything about it.

    Another good review.

    Thanks.

Emergency at the Pony Express

It was a hot dusty day at the Pony Express station. There were no packages coming and the riders were getting antsy. Jesse, the youngest rider at age 16, was re-shoeing his pony, and Kale, Jesse’s older brother, was sitting on the porch watching the Texas dust blow. Jesse stood up, patted the pony and said, “Well Sarah, we are ready to go now.” He then walked to the water barrel and drank a large ladleful, liquid rolling down his shirt. Kale looked at the horizon and saw two dark silhouette’s approaching. “Hey Jesse!” Kale hollered, “I think a job’s a- comin’.” Jesse looked around the corner of the station to see the figures growing by the second. He quickly ate a biscuit, then stood on the porch watching as the men arrived. The men were obviously military, both wearing navy blue uniforms, their horses were stark black with manes and tales cut short. “What can we do for you’s today?” Kale asked. “We need you to deliver a package to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,” one of the men said. ...

DISNEYLAND 2007!!!!!

This last week, May 13 through 17, I was in Disneyland, California! We flew into John Wayne airport and settled into our hotel room in time to see a WONDERFUL fireworks show out our window above Disneyland! Early the next morning we used our early admittance tickets and entered the park an hour early! That was a fun filled day as we hit every ride we wanted including The Indiana Jones ride three times, The Pirates of the Caribbean ride two times, and many others! We were fortunate that they opened Splash Mountain the day we arrived when we had read that it would be closed, a happy surprise! Another Happy surprise was seeing crewmen setting up the set where Pirates of the Caribbean will Premiere, on May 19. The next day we went to Disney's California Adventure where we enjoyed Elevators that dropped ten floors (we rode that twice), and many very very fast roller-coasters! We ended this day with a water rafting ride that COMPLETELY drenched my Mom... hilarious. : ) All in good fun. O...

KIds Can be Cruel

I can hardly believe the capability of people to just be heartless. Cliques are such a horrible thing, making so many people sad. Don't you hate it when someone says, "Partner up!" and you are the last person chosen? It is so much worse when you are the last person for months. Kids can be soooo cruel. What about when the kids start playing dirty? When they start spreading rumors? What if they are trying to crush a person? It sure stinks to be the person on the "crush" list! As you can tell I am having social problems.
