Zoom

Zoom

Who's in it: Tim Allen, Spencer Breslin, Kevin Zegers, Kate Mara, Michael Cassidy, Ryan Newman

What's it about: Jack(Allen) used to be Captain Zoom before his brother Connor(Zegers) became the super villain Concussion. When Concussion is coming back for his revenge, four adolescents are chosen to be trained to stop him. Mega-Boy(Breslin), Houdini(Cassidy), Wonder(Mara), and Princess(Newman) are the quartet of superheroes to be trained by Jack. Jack regrets ever being the superhero that he was and doesn't want to train these newly found superheroes, but when he finds out that it's his own brother that they will be fighting he begins to truly prepare them, and himself, for the worst.

What I Think: This was a great movie for the family. I think that Allen is doing well with all of the movies he does for family time. Breslin did a great job too. I always see him in these completely selfish roles and he did a great performance with this one. The other actors and actresses I've hardly ever seen before if any. The plot was a little off and it lacked some really action. The other things that I didn't like was the effects for Breslin. Cassidy had some really good effects for his invisibility, but that was about it.

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.
