Iron Man 2

M: Not as good as the first one, not even close. But not a bad movie. 3 stars

V: I super duper loved the first Iron Man. But, I also really enjoyed this one. Always been a big fan of RDJr. Scarlett Johanssen didn't even bug me in this one. Gwyneth is great. The action was great. There were a couple of dumb lines, but I still really enjoyed it. 3 1/2 stars

Girl with a Pearl Earring

M: A pretty good show. It tried to be a bit too deep though. And if there was romance, I didn't buy it. But, well done. 2 1/2 stars.

V: I was underwhelmed by this movie. Though I thought the acting was good, the overall mood was just a little too bleak. I mean, I like myself some bleak, don't get me wrong, but it was unwarranted here. It needed a little balance. But, it was good. Not great. 2 1/2 stars.
