The Big Lebowski

The Big Lebowski

Who's in it: Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, Tara Reid

What's it about: After his rug is peed on by some house robbers, Jeff Lebowski... I mean, The Dude(Bridges) goes out after the other Jeff Lebowski(Huddleston), who happens to be a millionaire, for compensation. Mr. Lebowski tells The Dude that he will not get him a new rug, but after Mr. Lebowski's wife, Bunny(Reid), is kidnapped, The Dude is called for help. The Dude calls up his best friends Walter(Goodman) and Donny(Buscemi) to help him retrieve the beautiful Bunny so that he can get his new rug for his house. However, The Dude didn't know that the road would be so dangerous and that the people involved would be so deceiving.

What I Think: This movie was recommended to me by John from the Blockbuster that I go to. I thought that this movie was pretty funny. I'm not too fond of the nudity because it was pretty unecessary and stupid. Bridges did a great job being a bum trying to get his rug replaced. That was pretty much the entire story. He was only interested in getting a new rug that would look good in his house. I really liked that! Goodman was hilarious. Everything that he said made you want to hate him, but you just couldn't because he was just too funny about it. Although Buscemi had a very small part, he did a great job. He always looks like the frail, scared man, and he didn't cease to disappoint me. This was a good movie to watch with friends.

Ironman

Ironman

Who's in it: Robert Downing Jr., Jeff Bridges, Gwyneth Paltrow

What's it about: Tony Stark(Downing) is captured in the Middle East by terrorists. They use his own weaponry from 'Stark Industries' to help demolish American lives. When he finally escapes by inventing and creating an iron suit that is powered by his new electromagnetic chest piece, he tries to stop all weaponry development. His partner, Obadiah(Bridges), wants him dead so that he can take over the company and become the richest, most powerful man in the world. With help from his new and improved supersuit and his assisstant Pepper(Paltrow), Stark goes one-on-one with the power craved partner.

What I Think: I had originally seen this movie the day before it came out in theatres and it was great. It was even better watching it a second time around. I absolutely love Robert Downing Jr. and being able to see his muscular body. He did a great job as the self-centered person that Tony Stark really is. Paltrow was gorgeous in her back-less blue dress. I think that the graphics in this movie were superb and I loved all of them.
