| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five wonderful, slap-happy dogs and a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and bird, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five dogs and a bird, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

 ...and so, apparently, is the rest of the world.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, do yourself a favor and run, run, run to the theater. Of all the film adaptations of comic books, this, in my opinion, is by far the best. Robert Downey, Jr. is officially a superstar. He commands the screen with his every move.
 Seriously. I couldn't take my eyes off him, just like the women who fall prey to his recklessly charming Tony Stark character in the film, he held absolute sway over me. (Those dark lashes framing those charismatic eyes...WOW!!!)
 I plan on going to see this movie at least a couple more times this week. That's the first time I've felt like that in a long, long while about a film. Everything about it was top-notch, from the impeccable casting, to the highly-credible and quick-witted writing, to the smart, sharp direction by actor/director Jon Favreau (who makes a cameo in the film), of whom I've been a fan since the cult classic, Swingers. This is Favreau's Peter Jackson moment, and this franchise (and it will be a franchise, make no mistake, as evidenced by the surprise that comes after the credits have finished rolling) will be his Lord of the Rings.
This fun, engrossing, amazing movie restored my faith in the Hollywood blockbuster. Things don't have to just mindlessly blow up anymore (although there's lot of things blowing up in the movie, but with good reason). The audience can have a grand old time with sharp storytelling, some food for thought, and eye candy for both the guys and the girls.
 Mmmm-hmmm. Let the church say, " Amen"!!!
Oh yeah...and I can't wait for the next one, Terrence, uh, I mean, Rhodey...
 Check out this clip of Terrence Howard explaining how he doesn't want to be anybody's sidekick. Looks like homie can't wait for his turn at bat, either!!!
Lastly, here's a series of back-to-back clips from the premier and other interviews, for even more details about the movie. If you are a big fan of this film like me, sit back and enjoy!!!
