			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its not even June and I think I&#8217;ve spent my summer budget on movies already.&nbsp; Having seen the big three blockbusters, and a pretty good chick-flick in the last few weeks.&nbsp; So I guess I should give you my ratings and mini-reviews:</p>
<p>In order of importance:</p>
<p><strong>Made to Order</strong> &#8211; Saw it on a date with my bride, so that alone ranks it above the others.&nbsp; Not bad for a chick-flick, though I thought the early womanizing was a bit passe, but I&#8217;m old and not down with the culture, though putting Mr.-no-consecutive-nights in a Slick Willy mask at the beginning, and bookend that with the final line being &#8216;Oh Monica&#8217;, brought a cynical smile to my face.&nbsp; Go see it with your treasured companion, and enjoy.&nbsp; Three stars.</p>
<p><strong>Ironman</strong> &#8211; Took my middle kids with me to see this one on opening night.&nbsp; I&#8217;m a sucker for the comic book movies, and this one did not disappoint (unlike Daredevil, and Ghost Rider).&nbsp; The origin storyline was a good plot, and the effects were superb.&nbsp; Robert Downey Jr. simply put on the Tony Stark suit and became the comic book character, and his simple humor was well done.&nbsp; The ending fight was sort of a letdown, but so many good quotable lines and references pump this one in as my favorite of the summer.&nbsp; Five Stars.</p>
<p><strong>Prince Caspian </strong>- Took my younger three to this on on opening weekend, and we all enjoyed the movie.&nbsp; While I haven&#8217;t read the book, the movie seemed tightly woven (though with some embellishments to the Lewis plot I&#8217;m sure) and kept the interest of even my six year old (that&#8217;s saying something!)&nbsp; The battle scenes were awesome, the magic of Narnia palpable.&nbsp; Enjoyable evening with the kiddos.&nbsp; Four Stars.</p>
<p><strong>Indiana Jones and the lack of good screen writers&#8230; </strong>- I took the boys to this one this past weekend, the Lucasfilms marketing to make Lego sets worked its magic on my 9 year old, and so it was a MUST SEE.&nbsp; It had some promise in the beginning, and had all the winks and nudges you&#8217;d expect for a resurrected 80s blockbuster genre.&nbsp; Implausible even beyond Narnia, but quite fun to watch, once you suspend belief.&nbsp; The payoff at the end was a disappointment, though I kept expecting Richard Dreyfuss in sunglasses and orange jumpsuit to come crawling out of one of the passages in the aftermath of the final destructive scenes.&nbsp; Mixed for me, and because of the Spielberg-induced mythos I have to downgrade it a bit as losing itself from the rich Indy lore.&nbsp; Fun afternoon, but only Two stars.</p>
