Very disappointed in that one. I set aside one movie for the month to relax and here I walked into a lecture on American hypocracy.

I honestly thought <i>Iron Man</i> looked like it might be a fun movie, but this review is probably even more funner. One little thing -- in the first line, is it true that on its first opening weekend, the movie grossed just under a hundred dollars? That sounds too much like justice to be true. Or should there be a "million" in there somewhere? Brilliant review! I honestly thought Iron Man looked like it might be a fun movie, but this review is probably even more funner.
