Weekly Ad Classics: JONATHAN GLAZER, BARCLAYS' IS MONEY EVIL

Is money evil? Samuel L. Jackson is best known for his bad ass attitude, his uncanny ability to intonate the mother F-word phrase like no one else, and his Ezekiel 25:17 quote in Pulp Fiction. Jonathan Glazer, who has directed a few good films, is best known for his Guinness Surfer commercial, which is considered the Citizen Kane of advertising and has been continuously voted the best ad of all time by several critics.

            Glazer is a big figure in the ad world and there is a whole roster of commercials to choose from. They are all good. But only his Barclays campaign has Samuel L. Jackson. Amazingly it captures the best of both artists.

Review: IRON MAN 2

Like its predecessor, Iron Man 2 delivers the finest form of entertainment within the confines of a very limiting genre. The first Iron Man was a strict superhero origin story that managed to stand out above the rest thanks to Robert Downey Jr.’s quirky acting. This time Iron Man 2 presents the superhero sequel formula with unprecedented elegance.

The Other Guys

Looks like Adam McKay is going to redeem himself for Step Brothers.

It's nice to see Will Ferrell play a character again.

Review: IRON MAN

Lets have a quick chat about Iron Man, eh?

To take a moderatly unknown superhero and create a new franchise is a grand idea that should be tried more often. Iron Man is exactly that. By taking a superhero that everyone and their mothers do not know all about, creates the chance for a story that can thrill and achieve great heights with out everyone whining that it does not flawlessly follow the comic book story arch.
