The Incredible Hulk
My least favorite of "The Avengers" prequels. It's not a horrible movie, but I didn't particularly care about Bruce Banner nor "The Hulk". Recommended if you plan on watching "The Avengers" but not on it's own merits. (Ed Norton Version)
Iron Man
Tony Stark is just as entertainment as his alter ego Iron Man. Highly entertaining and 2 hours well spent!
Thor
I do not like Fantasy movies, however this one changed my perception. Thor is a wonderful film that exceeded all my expectations. It's a fun ride.
The Fatboy Chronicles
Absolute trash. Amazed I finished it. I swear with $10,000 I could do much much better.
Midnight in Paris
I only give this movie 3 starts due to my ignorance of Paris culture and history. This movie was a total surprise to me and I only put it on because 1) It was new on Netflix and 2) It has a really great tomatometer rating. I usually don't care for Woody Allen movies (read HATE) however this one is different. It's got a certain whimsy I really wasn't expecting, and to avoid spoiling the "secret" I'm not going to delve much more into the plot. I'd recommend this movie to anyone post 30 years old.
Cedar Rapids
The Hangover this is not, yet I didn't find it much of a departure from the charicature Ed Helms has become. Ultra nice home boy in a place he doesn't belong. Despite the typecast, I really liked the film. It goes to show that it doesn't matter what the story is about, as long as the characters are interesting and entertaining, yes, even a movie about an insurance convention can be good. I really felt like I was along for the ride on this trip to the big city and a left feeling a little left out at the end that I wouldn't see these people again. You won't be slapping your knee, but at the very minimum John C. Reilly will have you loling at least a few times. Recommended.
