Iron Man 3

Oh Tony.  You are such a good-looking specimen of a man.  Even if I didn't enjoy the Iron Man movies, I'd watch them just to see you.

I have seen Iron Man a couple times with Kyle and have attempted to see Iron Man 2 a couple times.  However, for Iron Man 2, I fell asleep during every time I tried to watch it.  That is not to reflect on the movie itself, I'm sure it was wonderful, I was just unable to stay awake.  I was tired at night or in the afternoon and was just so comfy on the couch curled up next to Kyle that I promply fell asleep.  This is, unfortunately, a common occurence with me.

42- The Movie Review

I saw an amazing movie this past weekend. Why was it amazing, you ask? Well, it was based on a true story. The acting was superb. The context of the movie pulled at my heart strings. It made me cry- although I'll admit that's not difficult to do.

42 is based on two years of Jackie Robinson's life: from the time he signed on with the Montreal Royals through his first year on the Brooklyn Dodgers. The movie effectively covers the life he had at home and the love he had for his wife and son, but focused on his trials, disappointments, and encounters both on and off the field.

Jackie Robinson was brilliantly played by Chadwick Boseman who has had minor roles on TV shows, according to IMDB, but hasn't had a lead break-out role until now. He played Jackie wonderfully. Showcasing the restraint of emotion that was needed in difficult scenes, to displaying the anger and hurt when necessary as well.
