Iron Man (2008)

I didn't know about Iron Man or Marvel when this movie was released.  I finished all the chores on a weekend, and thought, sure, I'd see an action movie.  I went to a third-run theater with a small screen.  Turned out I really enjoy the movie.  Very compact plot, good dialogues, great action.

Re-watched in 2026 after all these years of following Marvel movies.  Now I knew this was the movie that started Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Iron Man was still one of the best Marvel movies.

The Catcher Was A Spy (2018)

Since this was based on a true story, and all of us knew that Nazi did not develop an atomic bomb, so we knew about the ending of the movie five minutes in.

At 94 minutes, this movie had some thriller, some gun fight, some sex, and some fun.  It was an ok movie.  I never really liked spy movie because real spy stuff was boring, and I hated 007 James Bond.

⭐⭐⭐

Captain America: Civil War (2016)

The first time I watched this movie, I was confused.  Why would Captain America, the patriot, suddenly want no government oversight, while Iron Man, the bad boy, wanted to sign the accord?  Of course the ending surprised me the most, since I was not a comic book fan, I did not see it coming.  A great ending to two friends.

Then I re-watched the movie, after growing old and more wisdom, I realized Captain America was not a patriot to the United States.  He was loyal to humanity.  That was why he refused to sign the accord.  Iron Man, on the other hand, was eaten by guilt of the destruction he had made throughout the years.  So he agreed to a set of rules that would reign superheroes in.

Wow, this movie was deep!

The first time, I was simply cheering for Captain America saving his bromance buddy Bucky.  The second watch, I did not agree with Captain America saving Bucky at all cost by all means necessary.

Goodness.  What would I think if I watched this movie the third time in another ten years?

Young Washington (2026)

What better way to celebrate America's 250th birthday by seeing a movie about the founding father?  It wasn't as propaganda-y as I had thought.  I liked the movie focused on one small segment of his life.  That made the plot manageable.  I learned some things about George Washington's early life.  Apparently he wanted to be an officer but was rejected.  So becoming an enlisted soldier wasn't even plausible for him?  How egotistical. However, the whole movie was about Washington learning his mistakes and kept bettering himself.  That was all we could ask for ourselves, right?

The cameras shook too much.  Watching it on a big screen wasn't an enjoyable experience.

I heard they were planning sequels.  Hopefully they made enough money to fix the camera problem.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA!!!

Happy July 4th!  Here's to next 250!

The Uncle Sam

Proud Birdie Parents!

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 12 JUNE 2026:  A mama bird decided to use our planter in the side yard as her nest!  It was a large ceramic planter full of weeds.  She chose the location probably due to its seclusion.  We didn't notice until there were three eggs!  We were so happy!  However, we were a little bit worried because the planter was on the ground.  That might not be the safest since house cats roamed this neighborhood.  We knew at least one cat came to check us out when we moved in.  Hopefully the nest was well-hidden.

Do You See What I See

Look Closer

UPDATED 18 JUNE 2026:  We tried to stay away because we didn't want to spook the parents.  When we looked again, four eggs!  Mommy and Daddy got busy!  Can't wait to see them hatched!

UPDATED 21 JUNE 2026:  After observing from a distance for a few days, we grew concerned.  We saw only one bird sitting on top of the eggs. We assumed that was the Mommy Bird.  She would leave the nest for a long period of time; we assumed to get food and water.  Where was Daddy Bird?  Was she suddenly a single parent after four eggs?  She was very jitterish.  We wish we could get a closer look at her and find out what species she was, research her habit and maybe help out a little.  Cats roamed in this neighborhood.  It wasn't safe leaving the eggs in a planter only two feet off the ground.

Masters of the Universe (2026)

This was a stupidly entertaining movie great for a Saturday afternoon when all chores were finished.  Two hours and twenty minutes was too long because some jokes could be cut, but overall I enjoyed it.  I was concerned the main guy would be stuffy and wooden, but not really.  He was able to provide some laughter and some tears.  I appreciated him working hard.

However, Skeletor was the best.  He was such a lame Shakespearean actor villain.  Math Teacher said that was on-point with the original cartoon.

The main theme music was over-used.  But then again, for a silly toy turned cartoon turned movie, I didn't expect much.  If it was free I would watch this movie again.

REDEMPTION

Twisters (2024)

Math Teacher watched this on the airplane.  His review:  He could not stand the stupid people chasing twisters while making stupid mistakes. After awhile he started rooting for the twisters.  After ten minutes, he turned it off even though it was a free movie!

My Review:  I didn't even watch the movie.  I saw the trailer.  Everyone looked like they needed to go to school for another twenty years, then they were worthy of carrying briefcases for the REAL meteorologists.
