Really?

I'm shocked that this documentary is actually real.  Especially in this type of economy, some people may actual turn to dealing drugs to make a living, and these creators gave them a how-to guide in the form of a movie? I mean it's one thing to write a book about it, most people don't read for pleasure, but anyone will watch a movie.  Oh what wonderful things come out of the brains of some film makers.  Some of these guys must be really bored and/or really dumb.  Watch the trailer and make your own judgment about how positive a movie like this will be for society.  Entertaining for sure, but scary to think about the possibility of desperate people actually following through on these types of instructions.


Iron Man 3

Last week I finally saw Iron Man 3, and it didn't disappoint.  I expected another prime performance from Robert Downey Jr. and co., and they delivered.  The plot involved events from Tony Stark's past that come back to haunt him some 14 years later, and create havoc for the entire planet.  In the film Tony has to fight his past to preserve his future, while also fighting his own personal demons stemming from his time with the Avengers in New York.  This movie, above its two predecessors, truly allows the viewer to get inside the mind of Tony Stark and to understand that downside and the stress that come along with being a super hero.  Not only does the film feature a significant amount of conflict for the protagonist, but it also provides some excellent fight scenes and action sequences (Two things which so many of the newer action movies lack, probably in an attempt to save money).  It must be nice to have a huge budget for a movie like Iron Man 3, where the directors and producers can pull out all of the stops to provide the viewer with a true blockbuster.  If you're still not sold watch the trailer and decide for yourself if it's worth the price of admission (But trust me, it is).
