Saw Iron Man 3 with my kids yesterday...


Meh. The writing was horrible... I get RDJ needs to be quick witted, but it was so tired

Kingsley was great though as the Mandarin.

I saw Pain & Gain, very strange film, and considering it was based on a true story makes it even more bizarre. Not sure if Bay's idea was to get people to sympathize with the criminals, but I could not get behind Wahlberg's character, totally detestable.

I enjoyed The Rock's character and Bar Paly's eye candy.

This looks like it has potential. Too bad it's not cable.

I read the series of Miami New Times articles that ran back in 1999, and found them incredibly entertaining.......guarantee they're a million times more worthwhile than watching the movie. It's a shame Bay made it, because in the right hands it had the source material to be one hell of a good flick.

For those interested though, I'd highly recommend reading Pete Collins reporting on it, it's a pretty crazy story...

I read/watched both and felt that the movie captured the spirit of the articles pretty well actually. I can see why people would be loathe to enjoy the movie though if they didn't have that background knowledge.

Really eh?....I might have to watch it then when it's available online, because from the previews I thought it looked atrocious.

They changed a few minor details (a couple of names) but for the most part the film is faithful to the story detailed in the Miami newspaper.
 
That movie just looks like The Big Hit set in Miami....

in other words a steaming pile of crap with Mark Wahlberg.

that is a long read....ill wait for the movie...
 
ya thanks for posting that montana. the last thing i should be doing right now is spending 2 hrs reading an article like that but.. fascinating. i just couldn't stop reading.

seeing their sloppiness you couldn't help but think of the bosma case.
 
CBS has 2 new series starting this fall of 13 episodes each. They will follow each other for 26 new episodes and no repeats. They are finally getting the picture too.
 
Saw the new Star Trek last night. The 3D was pretty cool with the effects but the movie itself was just okay in my opinion. I guess my expectations were too high.

I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first movie. Would love for them to make a few more movies with this current cast.
