I Won! - IRON MAN Preview - A Much Needed Date Night for Us!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Sunset Realty

I won! I won!  Two complimentary tickets to the "preview" of IRON MAN four hours before the midnight release on May 2, 2008.  The tickets I won through my undying persistence (and silly stubbornness of hitting redial on my cell phone) paid off when I finally made it thru to someone on the other end of the line and I had WON!  My first time ever winning on the radio!  All thanks to the PEAK 104.1, in Bend, OR.  You can only imagine my excitement when I called my husband to tell him the news.  Ironically, he had been listening to the radio earlier and had heard of the "midnight opening" of IRON MAN  and wondered who in their right mind would stay up until midnight to see any movie - he is obviously not the night owl that I am!  Needless to say he was not elated with my news.  I had researched show times prior to my phone call and learned that we could see the show earlier - now he too was amped at the prospect of having a "movie date night" that we had not allowed ourselves since before our second child (we now have three) and the release of the second "Harry Potter" film!

 

IRON MAN: is a star studded and action packed film.  Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow are a few of the entertaining cast mambers.  The film begins with billionaire and weapons manufacturer, Tony Stark, who after a life-altering ordeal, and a change of "heart", invents and becomes IRON MAN.  As IRON MAN he fights to undo the wrongs of his company and mentor.  This is 2 hours and 6 minutes of action and super special effects!  The soundtrack (available May 6) is a must have blast from the past with tunes from AC/DC "Back In Black" and Black Sabbith's own " Ironman". 

 

We emphatically enjoyed our evening and the chance to spend it together.  A Thank you, again, to the PEAK  104.1 for the opportunity to see IRON MAN at the Regal Old Mill 16.  (It was the Old Mill 10 the last time we were there!)  

And a super special thanks to my husband for going to Bend on a "work night".

Congrats!  It's a cool movie, even for a non-into-comics female.  :)  My hubby won 4 tickets for the preview and we watched it on Tuesday.  Good computer graphics; okay story.  Good translation into a movie and good set-up for how the guy becomes Iron Man.  We also got free comics of "Iron Man & Hulk" that were from April of 2007, but they were cool anyway.  Also, a good set-up for next movie...But I won't ruin it.  Enjoy!

I've always liked Robert Downey JR as an actor, troubled soul that he is.    Ironman is expected to be one of the blockbusters of the summer, so it's a good kickoff and I know what you mean about those datenights.  Ya just have to schedule them and make them happen or you look back and it's been two years since you went out with your sweetie!

Amy, just a followup to my last comment.  We went to the movie last night with the grand kids and all of us really enjoyed it.  Thanks for the review.
