"He was as tough and romantic as the city he loved. Beneath his black-rimmed glasses was the coiled sexual power of a jungle cat. I love this. New York was his town, and it always would be..."
- Woody Allen, "Manhattan"

• Iron Man, 4 bill-stars (out of 5) - great guy fun and action. No more, no less. Oh wait, Gwyneth in red hair and chest freckles ablaze... that was better than your standard fare. I stand corrected. Also, the ending could have been better.
  
• Cloverfield, 2 bill-stars - little fun and little action. This is a 1-star movie that doubled its review when the monster ate the hand-held camera guy. That said, I have to also disclaim my review. No 40-something can stomach that hand-held camera shit, and if I were an angry guy, then I would have started counting the number of times I heard 20-somethings scream "Oh my god!". But I'm a nice, happy (old) guy, so I just fast-forwarded through most of it.
