iron man and once.

so i watched it the day it came out.. the acting was great, expecially robert downey jr, and jeff bridges. but somehow i felt the beginning was a little draggy.

and i felt it was kinda bull that during capture, tony stark(r.d.j.) could make the entire suit without being detected. its like the terrorists are a bunch of assholes. the terrorist fellas even had a cam to monitor.

anyway, r.d.j's dialogue was pretty cool throughout. thank god he got the role for iron man..seriously he's like one of the most underrated actors in u.s and he did an incredible job with the character. i think it was kinda dumb saying 'i am iron man' at the end though. only wish i didn't leave the theatre during the credits. heard there were some stuff after that.

and i think they were trying to promote audi.. heard somewhere that if audi is so great, how come there are so few or no old models on the road compared to bmw.

anyway, one of my favourite things about the movie was the score. composed by ramin djawadi(pronounced java-dee), a fairly new composer who managed to combine rock guitar and an ochestra to bring out something different compared to most super hero movies. although sometimes distracting during the movie but it works well as a stand alone. djawadi is most known for his work on the tv series prison break.


a week ago i went to the theatre with my brother to watch the orphanage but ended up watching an indie movie, once. it was a very low budget, no lighting, kinda musical. actors weren't actors, they were singers. but as i was watching..and new songs were sung..i realised that the songs were so good that no real dialogue was needed. glen, the guy and marketa, the girl had so much chemistry that they even got together after the movie..or was it during..??


the thing is..some time back..february or march..when i was working in a music/movie shop..rock corner, one of my mates ordered this soundtrack cos of the overload orders that we got. i never even listened to the album once. all i heard about the movie when it came out was that spielberg loved it. oh i just remembered..DO NOT watch this movie at the theatre because they censor the dialogue more than needed. so fucking retarded. download it or get it at your local distributors. or better still.. buy the original dvd. this movie isn't a chicks movie. if anyones wondering. you just need to have an open mind and enjoy the simplicity of it. the guy plays a broken takamine by the way.
