Ironclad=The Dirty Dozen and a castle siege film rolled into one.
Ironclad looks great. Too bad in did not get a wide theatrical release. It is on it's way to blu-ray shortly. Give it a try....you might like it.
Captain America
I am a comic book junkie. Ink flows through my blood. I love to see comics brought to life in other mediums. Whether it animated or live action it all fascinates me. Comics are modern myth, instead of story's of Homer or The Odyssey we have Batman and Spider man. Yes it is true that many a bad comic adaption has been done. Mostly from DC comics but Marvel has had it's fair share. I was quite impressed with Thor even though alot of my fellow nerds were not to keen on it but i felt it captured that magic that i felt reading old Jack Kirby and Stan Lee stories. So the reason i loved it was deeply personal. At a time when i was young and my family life was crumbling down around me these stories where the light in the darkness. Even though it took massive liberties with the comic it sprung from i enjoyed the hell out of X-Men First Class. I was most hopeful this summer for Captain America. It literally combines everything i love into one delicious fondue of awesome. From the WW2 setting to the eleborate USO shows and the grandiose feeling of a classic pulp adventure. The feel of a Indiana Jones film just creeps out of every pore of this film. Here are a few reasons this film works.
1. The digital effects on Chris Evans in the beginning of the film are amazing. A leap forward in digital effects. They make the man mountain he has become into a tiny 90 pound asthmatic and it works.
2. Chris Evans as Captain America is note perfect. From his aw shucks attitude to his pure determination define this version in my mind. He does not want to join the military to kill Nazis.... he wants to join because Germany is a bully and he feels as though someone needs to stand up for what is right. Amazing!!!
3. The tie in to other Marvel films is seamless. It does not stick out but it is their and for fan-boys like myself it is much appreciated.
4.The Shield. Note much to say other than wow. Also for fans of Marvel comics the shield in the movie is not made of admantiumn like its comic counterpart but of vibraniumn. I feel as though this does give a great opportunity for the intro of The Black Panther. Comic fans rejoice.
5. Hugo Weaving was great as The Red Skull. Almost everyone was solid. I would have like a little more with the Howling Commandos and Bucky but that's what sequels are for.
6. The film was amazing but what blew my mind was the 60 second teaser for The Avengers after the credits. Shots of Hawkeye and Black Widow fucking shit up. Thor with his new costume summoning lighting and throwing his hammer at someones face. Quick glimpses of Nick Fury and Bruce Banner. Tony Stark being his usual smart ass self and me loving every minute of it. May 2012 can not come fast enough.
Overall i give Captain America The First Avenger a 4.5 out of 5
Avengers Assemble

The Last Circus=Disturbing
This foreign language film looks both fascinating and fucked up at the same time. Might just be the perfect mix.
Haywire
Have to admit... this looks kind of great but looks can be deceiving. I could be digging this so much because the lead actress is kind of smoking. I kind of like a girl who can kick my ass...which isn't hard.
If you LARP or play wow or Runescape this could be up your alley.
This is the new film by Joe Lynch. Knights Of Badassdom. Their are two reason this movie will rock....
1. I love....LOVE when people make films about Larpers.
2. It's got the dink. That's right Peter Dinklage. If you do not know who he is then shame on you. (Game of Thrones, Nip/Tuck, The Station Agent, Elf. Ring any bells.)
My excitement meter is off the charts for this film.
