InTheMostIronicWay

It is one of those plain boring Saturday night where I got the place to myself, and got nothing in hand or in plan for the night.

Like my very own personal (new) tradition, I would pick an unwatched movies I have and have an own personal screening all to myself. I know it sound rather lonely and pathetic, but I assure you it is not, except its some stories which make my life looks rather miserably sad.

Today was a pick of a year or two old romance genre Christmas holiday movie. I have been carving to watch this movie since it started screening back then, yet how sad is it that I only get to find the time after a year plus.

It all started when this two person go on to an exchange program because there were so miserable about their love life. One apparently has a boyfriend who slept with his sectary and the other who apparently fall in love “alone”. Like all romance movies do eventually they meet “someone” “somehow” in the most ironic way.

Iris (Kate Winslet) a writer from England, exchanges her small cottage for a big house in L.A owned by Amanda for two weeks. On the other hand, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) a trailer maker from L.A went to England, who InTheMostIronicWay meets good looking Graham (Jude Law) *drools* a book editor, the elder brother of Iris. (I totally love the fact on how they meet and later hook up with each other) No doubt Iris too meets a guy in L.A unexpectedly, named Miles (Jack Black) who is a wacky humor composer.

I am not going to elaborate because everyone knows the ending. Yet the contents (in-between) counts and I do love this because it weren’t a boring romance film, it was a touchy one instead. (oh, and because Jude Law is in too) Thou I prefer Amanda and Graham side of the story, a bit more interesting, teary and talk about a shocking secret.

Iron Man!!!!!

After a long anticipation for the screening of Iron Man, at last it was out on the 30th of April of 2008. With melancholy hopes that we could get the tickets for the premier of Iron Man, we were lucky obtaining the tickets at the last 15 minutes before the movies start.

I am not going to pour out the content, since (I think) a lot of you are anticipating to watch it too. Yet I can’t help to say at least “something” about it.

Iron Man is yet another add-on to the hit list of successful superhero comic turned superhero movie. It was filled with lots-of-laugh with jokes and acts thrown by Tony Starks (Robert Downey Jr.), and talk about how good he actually look in that movie *drools*. For those who have no idea how Tony Starks became Iron Man, this movie would tell you, which was actually quite interesting (I know nothing about it before I watch this show). Gwyneth Paltrow (still looking pretty like always) is also starting in this movie as Virginia Potts; Tony Starks sectary and love interest.

Definitely a worth watch.

Ratings: 4.7 / 5 (don’t ask me where does the 0.3 went)

p/s: “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath is so going to a hit again after this.
