The following movie review is brought to you by Lucy R. Darby:
If anyone asked you if you’d like to go to Walt Disney Studios to see a pre-screening of the new Dreamworks Pictures movie, Real Steel, starring Hugh Jackman…
Charlie Kenton, former boxing champion, has turned to training fighting robots and is desperate for money. In a less than ideal turn of events, he agrees to take care of his estranged son, Max, for the duration of the summer. Immediately, we see the conflict between them, as well as the similarities. They’re both stubborn, cocky, and they end up working together to guarantee the success of a newly discovered robot, named Atom.Constantly struggling to make a living and trying to mend the relationship with his son, Charlie is forced to overcome his arrogance and his past mistakes.
Marta here. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but, as Lucy said, it was a very enjoyable film. The fight scenes between the robots were violent, but hello? They're fighting robots. I think it's more suitable for tweens and teens rather than very little kids. And of course, anyone who loves video games. But trust me, you're going to want to see Real Steel.
And, okay….maybe I cried….just a little.
My one-day-I'm-going-to-be-a-filmmaker son cuts loose on the Disney back lot.

Dar Baby (my call name)
No, i haven’t, but i will see the movie, thank you Lucy.I woulf name it Qva
I am actually very interested in seeing this movie…I enjoy kid-friendly movies more than action flicks and I usually drag my husband — and we’re usually the only adults sans kids at the theatre…I’d name my robot Cubanaso or Alavao!
No cable, so no trailers. My fighting robot…what? being a Cuban mother of 3 no vale? Ok, the robot’s name would be AsiSeHace! 😉
I would name mine… “Saca Punta”! lol. I always thought the word sharpener in Spanish was hilarious. It sounds so tough, even sounds like a curse. But its just a sharpener. LOL Say it real fast and with enthusiasm and you’ll see what I mean. I’m actually laughing at myself right now as I say it.
In honor of my Dad I would name it “Tremendo Hierro”. LOL! He would say that about a nice car, a nice watch, etc. <3
Have not seen the previews, with three small kids you dont get to the movies much, and robot name would be, well i cant think of a name but my weapon would be a red hot comal teehee
CubanoTron!
Like my mother used to tell me -No!, no luego! “Pero ya” . Yes “Peroya” will be the right name 😀
Have you seen the trailers for Real Steel
