#12 "Iron Man"



We went and saw this last weekend. It was a lot of fun, and definitely the best action I have seen in awhile. Robert Downey Jr. is great in it, but it was hard to but Jeff Bridges as the bad guy. My only complaint is that I wish the movie had been more of Iron Man taking on whole armies vs just battling another robot

#11 "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay"



Well this definitely wasn't as good as the first though it does have its moments. In general the film just moves from sketch to sketch lampooning every ethnic or political group it can think of. If you liked the first one rent this whhen it comes out on dvd.

#10 "In Search of a Midnight Kiss"



Well we wasted 12 Pounds (yes that's 24 dollars "DAMN YOU WEAK DOLLAR") on this bomb while on vacation in England. Get ready though, it hasn't been released in the US yet. You still have to wait until August 1st. Don't be fooled by the awards lauded on it by different festivals. The only people who will like this movie are people in Hollywood. It's an awful, pretentious film about a struggling actor and a struggling screen writer in Hollywood who are on a first date. We then have to spend an hour watching them complain about how bad they have it and how lonely they are.
GET OVER YOURSELVES AND GO GET A JOB WAITING TABLES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

Not Recommended
"In Search of a Midnight Kiss"

#9 "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"




In this film Jason Segal does his best to try and balance the male vs female scale of nudity in Hollywood. Its tough job, but someone's gotto help Harvey Keitel out. This is a real funny film from the pantsless Jason Segal (star, writer, and director) done under the guidance of Judd Apatow, so it contains all the makings of a Judd Apatow film as well as many of the same stars. So if you liked "Super Bad," 'Knocked Up," or any of the comedys he's been churning out the last few years check this out. Bonus Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis are ridiculously cute.

Highly Recomended
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall"
