I see a film and I write a few words about it. Sometimes I add a picture.

75. Iron Man 3
The third instalment of the man in a can is very entertaining for the most part. It's script sparkles, it has some pretty nasty stuff for a 12 certificate movie and it conjures up some quite sinister goings on.
This all adds up to misleading and somewhat unsatisfying conclusion that just confirms that Iron Man needs better villians if the series is to roll on to a 4th film. So not just another 'bunch of CGI dudes' flying about.
40. Brooklyn's Finest
I feel like I've seen Brooklyn's Finest many times before, not that it's without merit -it's just a bit 'familar'. Familiar actors, director, locations, plot lines, situations yadda yadda yadda. It does still have it's plus points though; the excellent performances of the three main protagonists - especially Ethan Hawke as the under pressure cop trying to support his family while not lose his job, sanity and life.
Overall though is pretty much by the numbers and the ending 'kind of' delivers but its all so very matter of fact that you feel incredibly underwhelmed by the whole affair.
Oh, and at least Don Cheadle doesn't do his 'cawknee' accent.

"Laugh Out Loud Funny!"- Bill Crap The Daily Shite
As this is certainly true, although I couldn't be bothered to find out.
The film features a bulldozing performance from Brendan Gleeson (with Don Cheadle providing a straight and steady back up) and is one of the funniest, cruelest and drug fuelled black comedies I have seen this year.
Glorious!
