  • Iron Man 3 2013

    ★★★ Watched 12 May, 2013

    Iron Man 3.
    That's what it was.
    That's what it did.

    A few questionable moments, and a pretty shoddy ending, but overall it was just another Iron Man film, and that is fine.
    I definitely preferred the previous 2 films, but at least this one seemed to deliver a little more than The Avengers.

  • Safety Not Guaranteed 2012

    I've never seen such a close, and caring collection of friends and family.…

  • Mercenaries 2011

    ½ Watched 01 Feb, 2013 2

    Definitely the worst film I've seen in a while.
    It felt like it was written by a 12 year old, and filmed by a 5 year old.
    There was no substance to the plot, the entire film was uneventful, and the ending was just shit, plain and simple.
    There were some well known faces in it, Billy Zain being the biggest I guess, but it's clear to see that his career is in the toilet these days.
    For professional mercenaries,…
