I HAVE THE INFO

As you may know,  there was a time when I watched about 10-12 movies a week.  That time was my idle 20s.

Last few days though,  I got pretty close to that kind of saturation.  Here is what I watched:

#1)Iron Man. I never would have thought that Robert Downey Jr. could have carried this off as well as he did.  I hope the Avengers movie happens soon.

#2)Red Belt.  In 2002, I started going to a martial arts school in NYC (not JuiJitsu) that a friend was a senior student in.  I went for maybe 2 months before I got turned off by what I perceived as weird in school politics.

Watching a movie like Red Belt, kind of makes me regret not sticking around longer.

Anyway, its a pretty intense movie.  Lots of awesome plot turns and Mamet dialogue.

#3)Forgetting Sara Marshall. Lots of George Costanza from Seinfeld type uncomfortable laughs.  Really excellent use of flashbacks.  A really really creepy mormon couple.  Not to be missed.

#4)Metropolitan(on hulu.com. free.)  A few friends recommended this to me when it was playing at the Ritz in Philly in like 1990.  I have absolutely no idea why I didn’t.  I wish that I had.  I went to more then one gathering in the living rooms of classmate’s parent’s uptown apartments during my freshmen year in college.

I don’t know. It would have provided a bit more color to the scene, maybe.
