I spy with my little eye...
The movies I have seen recently:

In the theater 
Baby Mama - meh.  Could have been way better.  I love Amy Pohler, and she was good.  Just wish the writing were stronger.

Iron man - hell's yes.  Awesome movie with inspired casting.  Great summer movie.  Great super hero movie.  Good luck matching this Batman and Hulk.

Speed Racer - terrible.  Some interesting animation ideas that in the right hands could have been interesting, but in these hands fell as flat as the plot, script and acting.  I am always amazed at how Susan Sarandon can still get me chubbed, but not worth the price of admission.  I'd rather rent Rocky Horror - great movie and less clothes.

Rental
Batman Begins - awesome movie, but I goitta give the nod to Iron Man.  I have a huge issue with super heroes constantly letting people, usually the distressed damsel, know who they are underneath.  To me that is the difference between a hero and a super-hero; the inability to share your identity with others, the inability to fully share in the human experience.  That enormous secret is what separates the hero from the society they are set on protecting.  Here Bruce has no compunction sharing who he is, and that bugs me.

Little Big Man - I've seen it before and I'll likely see it again.  Great movie.  Dustin Hoffman with only just a hint of Rain Man in his performance - unusual to be sure.  

Shaun of the Dead - friggin loved it.  Great movie.  

Superman: Doomsday - why can't they make live action Superman movies that are this compelling and this real?  I loved it for it's treating the viewer like an adult, and so treating Superman like one too.
