Indy Vs. Iron Man

I used to have this ‘Koren Day’ maybe about a year ago where I would spend the day out alone. It’s usually on Sundays after church. I would eat out, catch a movie, and shop (or should I say window shop) alone. I so miss that. Well it’s mostly the catch-a-movie part that I totally miss. I think the last film I watched alone was…Oh my gosh! I couldn’t even remember! I think it was In the Land of Women, I’m not sure. Anyway, on my way to the office yesterday, I saw this…movie guide??? (What do you call that again, the one near malls where they place the movies showing? Movie guide! haha) Anyhoo, Indiana Jones 4 is now showing!!! Okay, I’m not sure if I did like Indy when I was a kid but for sure I did watch one or two of the trilogies because my father is a big fan (and he gets to decide what everyone watches.hehe). Another film that I would want to see (but didn’t have the chance because I was always broke) was Iron Man and it’s STILL showing!!! I got so excited! I need to watch any of the two! There, it got me really baffled big time. I have missed so many great movies and I get disappointed if I only get to see them on pirated DVD’s because you won’t FEEL the movie. You miss details that you aren’t supposed to miss.

It was like a neck to neck competition between Indy and Iron Man last night that I had to text my film-critique-wannabee friend(hahaha), Paul to ask his opinion. According to him it was a no braider. It’s definitely the Marvel superhero. Marvel over Spielberg? Okay, let’s weigh things. Indy is by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Though I am not a Ford fan, I love Shia and Cate Blanchett. Iron Man, on the other hand, stars my other favorites Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. I loved Bob since his Chances Are, Only You and Heart and Souls days. Uhm, wait a second. Robert Downey Jr.? Iron Man? I could only imagine him doing romantic comedy films! Okay, I haven’t really seen another Bob movie after his Heart and Souls and I could only remember him being arrested for substance abuse but I still love him and I gotta see his amazing new physique in Iron Man. I actually don’t know Iron Man and his story but I also just realized I don’t like movies that have too dusty setting (except for Hidalgo) so it’s a ‘Goodbye Indy, I’m giving Jon Favreau a chance.’ Let’s see. I’m off to the movies in awhile. Weeeeee…..=D
