Clothes make the man, but does the armour make the Iron Man? Rather than lift Tony Stark/Iron Man’s stakes on the mythic superhuman scale, writer/director Shane Black strips back the character in ‘Iron Man 3′ to get to the core of who he is in a world where the unbelievable is increasingly becoming a reality. Do not fear of excessive navel gazing though because Black delivers a fiery extravaganza that is a collision between the comic book world and his resume of rapid fire action thrillers.
‘Iron Man 3’ starts production in the next couple of weeks and director Shane Black is putting the finishing evil touches on his cast.

Be prepared for a LOT of gushing over Marvel Studio’s ‘The Avengers’. I’m going to give it to you straight; the film is phenomenally awesome. No review for the film really matters anyway because you’d be mental to miss the biggest superhero film event since we were pooped out from the big bang. Therefore, the burning question – is it the greatest superhero movie ever made? Our yardstick for the perfect superhero film is Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’ and Richard Donner’s ‘Superman’. ‘The Avengers’ gets the bronze medal behind these films but serves as one of the best blockbusters ever made and is a fantastic accomplishment of Marvel Studios and writer/director Joss Whedon.
A few cool movie posters released today for Disney’s ‘Wreck it Ralph’ and Sony’s ‘The Amazing Spiderman’.
By now you probably know a lot about ‘The Amazing Spiderman’ so we won’t blab more about it, but For the uninitiated, ‘Wreck it Ralph’ is an animated adventure that takes place in the world of 8-bit videogames and centers on a classic videogame villain voiced by John C. Reilly who yearns to be a hero.
The poster for ‘Wreck it Ralph’ captures the tone of the film perfectly and you’ll be craving some ‘Donkey Kong’ action.
