      I'm totally excited for the Summer movie season too. In fact I already popped my cherry with the new "Harold and Kumar" movie. Not as good as the original but very much worth seeing if you enjoyed the first. It takes riotous and rauchy to the next level and there are laughs a plenty! Neil Patrick Harris does it again...God rest his soul :P

      The only one I really want to see is Indy Jones. Idk how any of they will stand up, I grew up watching or reading the comics and I got high expectations for those movies.

         Iron Man!!!
         Brilliant, possibly the greatest Marvel Comics movie adaptation!
         If you want to see a movie that's worth the absorbent theatre price
         "Iron Man" is a must see!
         Robert Downey Jr. is incredible as Tony Stark/Iron Man! The performances, script and political undertones are
         rock solid.
         Great film all around, can't say enough about it without dishing
         spoilers.
         Go see it!!!
         ***Minor Spoiler***
         
         Stan Lee's cameo is understated but classic!

            I saw Iron Man this past weekend! It was very good! I liked Robert Downey, although I still don't think he was the best choice for Tony Stark.
            I did see Stan Lee....he was "Hefner" on the red carpet! lol Jon Favreau did double duty as the driver as well as director.

   The Big Apple Convention Summer Sizzler just keeps getting hotter!
   
   Richard Dreyfus, Oscar-winning actor, star of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, American Graffitti, The Goodbye Girl, What About Bob, Mr. Holland's Opus, and many, many more, will be a guest of honor at the June 7-8 Big Apple Convention.

   David Zen Mansley, the voice of Agent Bishop and Darius Dunn on the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles TV cartoon, as well as Professor Aniskov in Speed Racer: The Next Generation, has been with us the past two conventions and rejoins us.

   Film Festival News!
   After the success of the films screened at last year's National Expo, Big Apple has gone out and found some new and exciting independent films , many of which will seen on the big screen right here for the very first time. The films are:
   
   Features

   Shorts
   A Short Film About Jedi

   The complete film schedule is not set yet, so check the website in the coming weeks to find the final screening times and latesst additions, and check it right now to find out more about these films.
   
   Costumes, anyone?
   I saw a lot of wonderful costumes at I-Con and NY Comic Con, and I would love to see them all at Captain Zorikh's Costume Contest. The contest at the National Expo was the largest and most spectacular ever, and easily overflowed the space in which it was taking place. This time we have a much bigger space in which to hold our contest, and we are working on certain categories in which to reward our contestants.
   
   So those of you who like to dress up, start planning now!
   
   You can see pictures of past costume contestants at http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w1... and http://ww.myspace.com/bigapplenyc
   
   Volunteers Needed!
   As you can see we've got a heck of a show coming up, but we can't get it done all alone. We need folks who can help us spread the word through flyering and other promotional activities and we will need lots of folks to help us pull off this convention on June 7-8. If you think you have what it takes to volunteer to help us, send us an e-mail at bacvolunteers@yahoo.com. Your service will grant you admission to the convention as well as invites to occasional movie screenings and other great bonuses...and our undying gratitude!
   
   Join the Big Apple Movie Club to tell us what you think. It's Free!
   That's it for now. I'm off to the Chiller Theater Convention this weekend, so I'm not going to get a chance to see the new Iron Man movie. But if any of you folks do, why not go to the Big Apple c Convention's Movie Club ( http://www.bigapplemovieclub.com/), register for the forum, and start telling us what you thought of it? It's the newest interactive community website from the Big Apple, and it is one that will be powered by YOUR participation. New York has some of the smartest filmgoers in the world, especially when it comes to films based on comic book characters, so let's hear what you have to say!
   
   And feel free to befriend us, join us, etc at the social networking site of your choice to get the latest news, discussion, pictures, and info about the Big Apple Convention:
