Helen and I saw Iron Man last night. It was awesome. Really awesome. I would even venture to say the best Marvel Comics movie to date. Better than X-Men 2. Instead of the Spider-Man paradigm (let's have whiny teenagers argue) it revolves around the main character being awesome all the time...mixed in with conflicts over the root of his awesomeness. Another key point to its success is having Jon Faveau as its director...there's definitely a bit of Swingers in there -- which could have turned out obnoxiously, but it weaves in perfectly. Highly recommended.
We also saw The Forbidden Kingdom in the theater yesterday...decent; worth seeing if you happen upon it.
Also, per last night's previews, Infected fans might want to keep their eye on The Andromeda Strain coming out on television later this month...
