Iron Man 3 Directed by Shane Black. With Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce and Ben Kingsley I saw this movie the second week it was out but I just have not had a chance to write up this review. Now the trailer definitely did the movie justice. I enjoyed it overall. Tony Starke had some touching and self reflective moments that I appreciated and made him more real as a person. The action sequences were hot and since I enjoy a good dose of mass destruction in movies, I really liked all the stuff blowing up. However, there are some plot issues that takes away from the film especially if you are a fan of the Iron man comics. As much as I enjoyed Ben Kingsley's performance- he was menacing and scary and humorous and just freaken awesome- I really really really detest what they did with the Mandarin. Really?! That is all I am going to say about that. I will end with Guy Pearce (he does good villain), Don, Gwyneth and Robert all gave great performances. R...

I finally got to watch the Avengers. First off, I could definitely pass on the 3D. Although, I would totally go see it in IMAX. I freaken loved it! I will admit that there were some slow parts. They could have left that extra 20 mintues on the cutting room floor for an even two hours. Regardless though, those slow moments did not take away from the whole of the move. All of the Avengers held their own and brought their own brand of specialness to the table. I have to say though that Mark Ruffalo as Hulk stole the show. As much as I loved Edward Norton in his portrayal of the Hulk, I have to say that Ruffalo did not leave me room to miss Norton at all. I think that is a credit to his acting as well as the material he was given. All in all this was an A movie.

I am so flipping excited about The Avengers . The trailer is below. I was a disappointed that Edward Norton was not going to be reprising the role of  Hulk. He was very good, but I think Mark Ruffalo is a pretty darn good replacement and great casting. I'm looking forward to his protrayal. Release May 2012

1 - Obsessed (Sony Pictures) $28,500,000 2 - 17 Again (Warner Bros. Pictures) $11,665,000 3 - Fighting (Universal Pictures) $11,441,000 4 - The Soloist (Paramount, DreamWorks, Universal)$9,715,000 5 - Earth (Disneynature) $8,554,000 The Soloist starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. came in the box office top five at number four. Now was this because of the Miley Cyrus rampage backlash? I am sure that and the fact that the film is a drama and that it was in about 500 theaters less than the number one box office holder (Obsessed) has something to do with it. If is because of the Miley mess, I think Foxx got screwed. Regardless, I heard the film was great and that both actors did a fabulous job.
