Iron Man... Iron Man... Iron Man!!!

Anything with Robert Downey, Jr. has to be awesome, but in a costume? And he can fly? LOVE IT! I am not a lover of the blockbuster, but I simply couldn't resist! Check out the cast info below.


This has been described as the perfect kick-off to the summer movie season! Here's the dish on Iron Man:

From Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures comes Iron Man, an action-packed take on the tale of wealthy philanthropist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), who develops an invulnerable robotic suit to fight the throes of evil. In addition to being filthy rich, billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is also a genius inventor. When Stark is kidnapped and forced to build a diabolical weapon, he instead uses his intelligence and ingenuity to construct an indestructible suit of armor and escape his captors. Once free, Stark discovers a deadly conspiracy that could destabilize the entire globe, and dons his powerful new suit on a mission to stop the villains and save the world. Gwyneth Paltrow co-stars as his secretary, Virginia "Pepper" Potts, while Terrence Howard fills the role of Jim "Rhodey" Rhodes, one of Stark's colleagues, whose military background leads him to help in the formation of the suit. Jon Favreau directs, with Marvel movie veterans Avi Arad and Kevin Feige producing.

    PS: there's a special little in-joke treat at the very very very end of the credits of IRON MAN -- stay to the end, it's worth it.

    My brother saw it yesterday, and said we're in for a treat...Rotten Tomatoes has it at a 94% positive rating...the film took $100+ mil in its first weekend domestically and more than $200 mil internationally...summer blockbuster season has begun, and it's not even summer yet :)

Who attended?

       Great Movie! 
    •  What a wonderful group! Lots of new members came out, alongside of a couple of great regulars. All-in-all, a really good event! 
    • Jacki (+1 guest)
       The movie was great. The dinner was great. Danielle made us all feel like a group of friends who already knew each other. 
    •  Danielle is very attended the whole time. People I met are friendly and interesting! 
    •  Both the movie and dinner afterwards at The Smith were outstanding! 
    •  The first full-blown Dinner & a Movie Meetup I've attended, and it was well worth it. IRON MAN is the best film I've seen this year, bar none; accessible for both people like me who grew up reading every Marvel & DC comic book known to man :) as well as for people who'd never heard of the comic book. Robert Downey Jr. is back!! The Smith, where we had dinner, had great service, a nice location, very very good food, a nice wine selection and one fatal flaw for us -- the noise level was so loud if you were on the other side of the table you needed to have super-hearing to be able to participate in the conversation (which is what this Meetup is all about, right?), so I felt bad for anyone who was in that position...and I'm not the loudest talker to begin with so that didn't help matters either :) All told, though, Danielle & Alfredo, thou rock-eth :) Onward to INDIANA JONES & THE ZIMMER FRAME, er, I mean, INDIANA JONES & THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL!!!

       Good choice to start the summer. The restaurant had good food, but I felt it was a limited menu and overpriced. The music was too loud to be able to talk to others at my table easily. I would prefer so other restaurant in the area of the Regal Union Square cinema.
