    Iron Man Movie Reviews, Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes

    I may be in the minority here: I thought this movie was good, but not great...

    Quoted: For all of it's anti-corporate military themes, "Iron Man" spends too much time watching technology genius Tony Stark tinkering with his super-hero costume design to get around to developing much of a story.

    Amazon.com: The Day the Earth Stood Still

    I am not particularly knowledgeable about sci-fi. This movie helped me appreciate the genre...

    Quoted: There are a handful of 'classic' SF movies that really demonstrate why this genre has appealed to intelligent lay audiences for so long. It's not the cheesy special effects and it's not _just_ the coolness of making contact with extraterrestrial cultures.
    ...
    The best of these films -- like the low-budget and sometimes horrid original _Star Trek_ that they spawned -- succeed in using the genre and the medium to present the cinematic equivalent of a morality play. And if some of them, like this one, come across as a bit heavy-handed today, it's because they have fewer cliches to overcome now.

    A New Jersey Crime Story's Hollywood Ending - New York Times

    New York Times article on Frank Lucas and the movie.

    Quoted: It was the early 1970s, and every week nearly four dozen American soldiers were returning home from Vietnam in flag-draped coffins. Frank Lucas, who ruled a crime empire in Newark and Harlem, had a plan: smuggle the purest Asian heroin he could find into New York, stashed inside those coffins.

    American Gangster (2007)

    Enjoyed it, although I tend to like "based on true story" sorts of movies. Did not know about Frank Lucas or the rampant police corruption of the time until watching this.
