TRUST ME....

Election year shenanigans, the mortgage implosion, whispers of recession, skyrocketing fuel costs, the collapse of democracy as we know it for the supposed sake of democracy (I didn't vote for these assholes. Twice.), Iraq, Iran - hell- the Whole Middle East, terrorism, global warming and rampant scandal among professional athletes (way to go, Congress! I feel much better about so many other things, now).



How many more reasons do you need to fork over some hard-earned green, buy a box of popcorn and watch some shit blow up? See the Good Guys kick some ass for the right reason for a change?






I'm eager for the fun stuff. And this summer promises some high octane, high speed rides (perfect since the price of gas will have most of us parked by then): Del Toro's "Hellboy II: The Golden Army", the second Dark Knight collaboration with Bale & Nolan (and Heath Ledger's swan song),



Indy's way, way, way overdue return with an appropriately crotchety Harrison Ford via George and Steven (guys, this should have been #6 or 7. Asses.), and my number one anticipated summer blockbuster: Jon Favreau's "Iron Man."



Downey finally gets his due: Wowza!

Oh yeah, did I mention Ed Norton's taken on "The Incredible Hulk"? Looks Like a Marvel-ous summer. Absolutely marvelous.

Happy Leap Year.
