UNDEFEATED!!!!!!! (And a movie review)

That's right - you heard right.

FOB United have jolly-well done it again. 4 wins. No losses.

From one all at half time, we finished up winning by 8-1.

Egad!!!!

Also forgot to mention in my recent updates that we saw Iron Man on the weekend - and enjoyed it. It's the best of the Marvel franchise (you have to use the word franchise these days, it's some manner of by-law as I understand it.) Robert Downey Jr is excellent. The plot and structure are certainly predictable and formulaic -and it's always that bit harder to suspend disbelief when the premise tries to be believable. It's somehow easier to accept a Kryptonian with super powers, or human becoming spider-esque after being bitten by a radioactive spider, than to believe that artificially intelligent robots would resort to sarcasm. It's worth the effort though, because with disbelief suspended by whatever means, some of the best dialogue occurs between RD Jr and his binary entourage.

Jeff Bridges is barely recognisable. Cuba Gooding Jnr, on the other hand, is instantly recognisable - even though he's not in it.

I missed the post-credits scene - but it apparently sets up the sequel (or should I say - the next instalment in the franchise).

Suzy gave it four and a half stars, and you'll find her review on the "At The Movies" website.
