ONE TREE HILL

One Tree Hill

For the past few weeks I've been very BUSY watching DVDs and recently I focused on one series which is ONE TREE HILL and finally I'm done with the fourth season. At first the series makes me felt a little bored about the story of Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan Scott (James Lafferty) the two half-brothers whose lives are brought together on the basketball court when they both end up playing for the same team in high school. The previously estranged twosome struggle to prove who is the better player on the court, and also face personal turmoil, most notably in the shape of Nathan's girlfriend, Peyton Sawyer (Hilarie Burton), whom they both lust after. The parental struggle that split the boy's upbringings also plays a major part in ONE TREE HILL, with Nathan's father, Dan (Paul Johansson) and Lucas' mother, Karen (Moira Kelly) bringing many unneeded complications into Nathan and Lucas's lives. Until the episodes becomes heavier and more exciting so I continued watching and as I watch one episode, I find it impossibly hard to not watch the next. So late night movie marathon continued until the first of may because I'm finally done with all the Seasons! hmmmP!

IRON MAN

IRON MAN

Last Wednesday, my mahal and I decided to watch a movie. We picked Iron Man and started watching. Well what can I say about the movie? hmmm I think that Iron Man is the perfect start to spend summer with action scenes that thrill, fight scenes that make you cheer, wisecracking dialogue that makes you laugh in all of the right places and an interesting story with the kind of depth that makes you appreciate the transformation Stark is undergoing. Director Jon Favreau and the screenwriting foursome take a little time to develop the characters.

Sure, you might see some similarities between Iron Man and other super heroes since he has his own Batcave, and flies like Superman, but you just don’t care because Iron Man is cool. Favreau gets the audience wrapped up in the action immediately, and Downey, Jr. makes Tony Stark into more than a cartoon character showing us the man’s regret and desire to change his life, especially in a poignant moment when Stark talks about how he should be dead and wants to find the reason why he is still living.

Get your popcorn ready. If all of the summer blockbusters are this good, it’s going to be the greatest summer ever!
