Summary and Review[]

Iron Man 3[]

Iron Man 3 is the first post-Avengers film in the Marvel films universe. It stars Robert Downey Jr. as an overpaid actor inside a tin can suit who fights evildoers as the superhero, Iron Man 3. His enemies this time include Guy Pearce as an old acquaintance with a grudge, Ben Kingsley as an old man with a beard, and Shane Black as an old school Hollywood screenwriter with an over-reliance on witty dialogue.
Mike Stoklasa

Pain & Gain[]

Pain & Gain is the latest film from critically acclaimed filmmaker, Michael Bay. [...] Most of the movie is in focus and Ed Harris shows up for a little while to remind the audience what it's like to have feelings towards something on screen other than pure hate and depression.
— Jay Bauman
