Iron Man 3 (2013) |
"
Even though some purists may object to some of the twists and turns Black and company have managed to incorporate, for me, these twists are what makes IRON MAN 3 standout from the pack a bit"

The Big Wedding (2013) |
"
This is like a bad eighties-sitcom, with the characters acting in a way that suggests the film was written by aliens who've only ever heard humans speak though watching DVDs they found in a trash bin outside a suburban Wal-Mart."
