If *Son of Rambow* opens in my area of the world this weekend, I will be there!… then hide under the seats so I can grad a second screening.

I have to say definitely Iron Man, though Son of Rambow and Redbelt look interesting for different reasons.

I’m going to see Iron Man tomorrow night (opens in Halifax a day early)! I would like to see Son of Rambow if it’s showing in Halifax, but I don’t think it will. Mister Lonely looks way too weird to watch! I don’t know how anybody could go see this!

I think I saw that Ironman suit on sale in Beverly Hills the other day. It still was a bit out of my price range, otherwise I would have picked up one. Wowza! What an outfit!
