Iron Man

If you expected this movie to be as bad as the Fantastic Four or Spider-Man, don't worry, Marvel's most recent adventure in superhero movies is actually, well, good!
Tony Stark's gagillion (note: It's higher than a billion) dollar company provides some good financial support for his ridiculously expensive suit. And it's one of the only superhero movies I've seen that has to do with terrorism in the Middle East (kind of graphic, but not mindless street thugs).
Iron Man even has some pretty good special effects. As he is shot and crashes the suit's paint job continues to get more and more scratched up. The scene in which he basically has a fight with some airplanes is really, really cool. He also has a really awesome computer!
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Junior) isn't big headed *cough*PeterParker*cough* even though he's a billion dollar guy.
The plot is pretty good. It explains where the suit came from and gives a detailed description on how it was built. The amount of time that the bad guy is in it could have been increased, but without him most of the time it was actually okay.
I enjoyed the movie. Some of it was inappropriate for children, and by that I mean that it probably has the highest body count for all superhero movies combined! But other than that it was pretty good. If Spider-Man disturbed you with his boringness, don't worry, Iron Man was not affected by the previous Marvel movie's flops.

He's angry that you might not have watched it yet.

Mario Kart Wii

To start out I'd like to say that Mario Kart Wii is an awesome game. It's very fun and has tons of features.
The Grand Prix and the VS are still familiar enough to keep long time fans happy. The battles and races have changed, mainly because you can now play with twelve people instead of eight. You can still play four player all on one Wii but you can only play two on a Wii when you go online.
That's brings up another good point. The online play has drastically improved from Mario Kart DS. There is less lag making it a more fun experience and the game finds people for you to play much faster. With the friends system you can easily locate and join them! Even without the disk using the Mario Kart channel.
Some of the unlockable features require a ton of work to get. But none of the characters have any drastic advantages so if your a Mario Kart noob then you'll still survive the only play.
It's easy enough that people new to the franchise can still play and possibly keep up with the veterans of the franchise.
In conclusion I'd like to encourage you to buy this game if you already haven't. Who knows, maybe I'll even play against you online (my name on there is "Nolan".)

Rating- Double A+

Huo?

"What's a huo?" You ask. A huo (prounounced "huh") is basically a made up animal. This animal isn't exeptionally smart and has a love for many things (including chicken wings and Slurpees). Huos come in a variety of types, you can pretty much make up your own if you want (if you have any great ones please reply on this post). They are gassy and pretty much enjoy their lives. Now that my brother, Squishy Huo (a.k.a Jesse) is on you can expect to see many more things huo related.

Bald Father

Well today was St. Baldrick's Day. That means that a bunch of people get people to sponsor them in shaving their heads. All of the proceeds go to research for battling child cancer. The best part is that my dad, whom I have never seen bald before, took part in it! Yay!
