Cowboys & Aliens (review)
Holy shit, Indiana Jones and James Bond are fighting frickin’ aliens. This is a geekgasm. Or it should be. But it isn’t.
Iron Man
X-Men: First Class (review)
“Best. Comic Book Movie. Evah!” So my inner fangirl is screaming at the moment as she does a little happy Snoopy dance.
great movie quotes: ‘Thor’

Thor (review)
I knew it! I knew Kenneth Branagh was a geek. Oh, sure, he got famous for all that snooty Shakespeare stuff, but deep down, he’s mad for comic books and superheroes and all that pulp-fiction stuff. He’s a dork.

So it’s $128 million for Iron Man 2 over its first weekend in North America: that’s down more than $5 million from the Sunday estimates, but it’s still good enough to trump Iron Man’s $98 million opening two years ago.
