Iron Man 3 Review

(All Photos Copyright: Marvel Entertainment)

The Armored Avenger flies back into action in the 3rd edition of Iron Man and the 7th film in the 'Avengers' series. This could be the best action movie of the year, as well as one of the best comic book movies ever.

Shane Black had a hard job making a movie to follow the 2012 mega hit 'The Avengers'. Well, I can now say without a doubt it was a job well done. Anyone know what the film Shane Black directed was?. It was 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang', staring the man himself Robert Downey Jr. I think that is a big part of what made this film work with a new Director.

Speaking of Mr. Downey Jr. there is really no Iron Man story he can't take on. This is his best take on Tony Stark yet. He brings the laughs and the serious side of Tony to life and pulls you into the film. Now he didn't do it alone! Gwyneth Paltrow returns as Pepper Potts and Don Cheadle flies back in as Colonel James Rhodes. Also returning is Iron Man and Iron Man 2 Director/actor Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, I wonder how it was to act while someone else directed the series you help start. No one can forget the voice we all know, Paul Bettany as Jarvis.

New to the film are Rebecca Hall as Maya Hansen, Sir Ben Kingsely as The Mandarin and Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian. Big time shout out to the youngest main cast new comer Ty Simpkins aka Harley Keener. Over all this cast is one of the best I've ever seen.

I always love how Robert and Gwyneth always bring the best out of each other in these films, their relationship truly comes to life in this film. The comedy stays true between Don and Robert as well, you can't help but laugh. The same is true with the pair of Gwyneth and Jon in this film. I think the one to watch out for is Ty Simpkins, I hope we will see more of him in upcoming Avengers projects. He really works well along side Robert and can really hold his own.

The special effects and the 3D are marvelous (yes I just used a word with 'Marvel' in it for this review). I don't want to tell you too much about the new suits in the film, but the special effects with the suit alone are EPIC. The filming locations make it very easy to believe in this film.

This is the best Iron Man film and well worth seeing over and over again! A great way to lead us into Phase Two of 'The Avengers'.

Iron Man: Avengers from Fathead. Review!

Big fan of the Avengers? Well, you can now bring home the Armored Avenger! Iron Man is here thanks to the great company called "Fathead".

Now this is my second review with Fathead and I am glad to point out one fact that is the same in both. That fact is the box got here in perfect shape and the product was very well packed. Why do I point this out twice? Because I think a major part of a good business when it comes to online ordering, is to make sure the product gets to its owner in perfect shape. So two thumbs up to Fathead for a fantastic packing job.

Now on to the product itself, we will start with the main Fathead of Iron Man in his Mark VII suit. This is truly life size and lives up to the Fathead detail.  One of my favorite parts is how the Arc Reactor even has a glow to it. I like how there is a lighting effect on the metal to make it look even more like he is standing right there. The image is so smooth and detailed, which makes this product even more fantastic.

Now along with the main Fathead, there are bonus logos and even a special smaller Fathead of the Armored Avenger himself. First we have the pretty much Fathead Junior of Iron Man again in his Mark VII, this time he is in flight. This has the same level of detail as the main Fathead. Now while promoting the movie, Marvel gave each Avenger their own "A" logo design. Which is why one of the two "A" logos with this Fathead has the Arc Reactor in it to symbol Iron Man. I am a big fan of how Fathead includes the stand alone logos as part of their products. The second "A" is one of my favorites as it is the black "A" with a kind of gold/orange background. The other two movie themed items with this are the "Armored Avenger" logo and the main movie title logo. The "Armored Avengers" even has a city on the inside of the letters of "Avenger". There is even a Fathead of the Fathead logo, the cool part about this is that it is colored to fit right in with the Iron Man theme.

So again I give Fathead 5 stars for another amazing product. If you are looking for some of the greatest movie collectibles, make sure you check out Fathead!

Thank you to Fathead for supplying this product for me to review!

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Review.

Jeremy Renner (The Avengers) and Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia) show us what happens when Hansel and Gretel grow up to be gun shooting, kid saving, WITCH HUNTERS.  They really do a great job bringing the action and story to life.  One of the greatest parts is that they don't just shoot once, they have to fight to win and that fact brings more to the story.

I've got to admit when I first heard there was going to be a life action "Hansel and Gretel" movie, there really weren't many ideas popping into my head that made me think this would be a good idea.  The original story isn't very long, so tops it would be a little under an hour with a few movie effects and details.  The idea of what happened next, never really entered my mind.  I am glad it entered the minds of Writer/Director Tommy Wirkola and his team.

So this movie has a high amount of blood in it, not horrible but high.  It is a big part of the  3D, so if you are not okay with blood then I would say skip out on this movie.  Now if you are okay with it, this is a fantastic 3D movie.  When ever something breaks such as a tree, the pieces pop out right in your face. This is one of the best 3D movies that I've seen. The surround sound adds marvelous detail as well. One scene there were people walking off the screen and you could hear their foot steps behind you.

Left to right: Gemma Arterton plays Gretel and Jeremy Renner plays Hansel in HANSEL & GRETEL WITCH HUNTERS, from Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.

Thumbs up to the script writers for adding the well placed jokes throughout the film, as well as the script over all.  Tommy Wirkola, does an incredible job directing this film.  Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye was one of my favorites in The Avengers, so I believe he was the perfect choice for the role of the hunter Hansel.  Gemma Arterton scares a lot of witches as well, because believe me Gretel can stand her ground in this movie.  A big part that makes this film work as well as it does is the fact that Jeremy and Gemma work great together, they fit the brother and sister parts well.  You feel the connection between them, which makes it even more believable.

Over all I think this movie is very worth seeing. If you are looking for an action packed movie with a story that fits, go see Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.

Please think twice before bringing your under 13 crowd to this film, it can be very dark. It is rated R for many reasons.

Rise of the Guardians Review

T'was the count down to Christmas and all through the theaters, everyone was stirring because there is team a little like the Avengers. Only this team has a leader quite jolly with a smile to match, he could even put a smile on the face of the man with eye-patch (Nick Fury - The Avengers).

Rise of the Guardians is one of the best 3D movies EVER!! That fact is true, but maybe the special effects aren't the point. Once upon a time, kids believed in a talking bear that wore a red shirt and was friends with a little pig and a donkey, as well as a rabbit and more. Not a talking bear that smokes and drinks. Rise of the Guardians reminds us that the world of the bear in the red shirt isn't gone, it is still as big as it was before. There is a child in all of our hearts, we just need to take the time to let them/us play and BELIEVE.

This movie was about more then the story on the screen, it was the story behind it. It is a kind of an action movie (So I would be very careful bringing the very young viewers), but the point is showing us to be strong and never give up on the power of hope. "Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing", that is a quote to live by. The Guardians are to show us that no matter what, someone is always watching out for you. Just because you can't see that person, it doesn't mean they aren't there.

It is by far, one of the greatest 2012 movies. It is also one of my favorites. To get the full meaning of this movie, go see it! If you are going to see one movie this holiday season, go see RISE OF THE GUARDIANS. It is one of the best animated Christmas movies since The Polar Express.

Happy Holidays to all my readers!

Finding Nemo 3D Review

Nemo returns to theaters in the 3D release of Disney and Pixar's Finding Nemo. The question is should you go see it again, if you saw the first time?

Disney's plan next to bringing out all new movies is bringing out old movie with new 3D effects. They did this with Beauty and The Beast, as well as Lion King. They worked with Pixar to bring Toy Story and Toy Story 2 to 3D for getting fans ready for done in 3D movie Toy Story 3. Now under water movies always make some of the best 3D movies, because of the effects of the sea and the fish. So the best chance for making a great 3D movie is making all about fish.

The scene with Crush in the EAC is one of the best scenes for the 3D effect. It really shows when Marlin first looks behind Crush at the rest of the Turtles. Another great scene for it was when Nemo and the gang looked outside of the tank and the camera made it look like you were one of the fish.

The cast was fantastic as always! Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks played Dory and Marlin on their seach to find Nemo. They made a amazing pair and worked well off of eachother, full of laughs. Willem Defoe played Gill, along side Brad Garrett who played Bloat. Defoe played the fish who took watch of Nemo when he was in the Tank and helped him work on a way home. The whole cast was great!

So go see it! It is 100% worth your time. I think out of the remade to 3D Pixar movies so far, this is the best. My favorite Disney remade to 3D scene has to be the ballroom dance scene from Beauty and the Beast.

Here is a note to my Marvel/Avengers readers! The voice behind the shark named Anchor is none other then the face of Bruce Banner from the 2003 film "The Hulk" aka Eric Bana. A "Hulk Shark" would be a very bad thing to get angry. You wouldn't like a Hulk Shark when its angry. Don't forget that Willem Defoe is also a Marvel movie star from when he played Norman Osborn in the Spider-Man movie series.

John Ratzenberger plays fish school in this movie. Can you tell me all his other Pixar roles?

Upper Deck The Avengers Movie Trading Cards Review

Seen the Avengers? Fan of the Comics? Bring home the heroes and the villains from all the Avengers movies with the Upper Deck Marvel's The Avengers Assemble Trading Cards.

Each of the main cards shows a scene from one of the movies. There are about 20 cards from each of the lead up movies and over 50 from the Avengers movie. On the back of each card there are details of the scene on the front. These tell you who is in the picture and which part of the movie it is.

There are special edition cards as well, including Autograph cards, Artist Sketch cards, Memorabilia cards and Printing Plate cards. In the packs of cards that Upper Deck sent me for this review, I found an Artist Sketch card of Iron Fist. It is the real deal, you can feel the ink and color from the pens used by the Artist (Do not touch the card a lot because of not wanting to wear it down). I saw the red ink on the back from it bleeding into the paper when they drew it.

The second special edition card I got was one of the Printer Plates, this was of Thor. They used this plate while printing the cards for the set. I was happy to find out that I also got the card in another pack which was made with this plate. Make sure you keep this card in a book or case to make sure it doesn't bend. On the back there is a sticker saying what the card is. For the other special cards it is printed on the back.

The last special edition card that I got was one of the Memorabilia cards, which including part of the costumes used in the movie. This card had two pieces of costume, one was from Hawkeye's suit and the other from Thor's suit. So not only can you bring home a piece of Upper Deck history and official Marvel artist work. You can bring home a part of the movies. There are multi cards in each set of special edition cards.

One of the other cards included in this set is the comic book cover cards. These cards picture comic book covers from the early years of the Avengers to the current day covers, it is a cool way to collect the art from the books.

Over all I give this series of cards 5 stars!!

Thank you to Upper Deck for supplying me with these cards for review. www.upperdeck.com

You Can Now Have The Scent Of The Avengers!

I reviewed the new movie "The Avengers", which was FANTASTIC! Now I am such a huge fan of the heroes of the story as well as the villain, so I went looking for how to be like them. Now I am not going to go try and save the world, because I am not a super power hero or a big green body of anger or even a guy in a armor suit. That is why I am working on the series of reviews of the new JADS International, LLC. products based on the movie "The Avengers".

Now I am going to review the Avengers Four Pack from JADS International. The box is a great show of the theme, with the logo on the front and top with logos for all four heroes on the side. When you open the box there are four bottles, full size bottles. After testing the Loki product, I knew just which one of the four to start with.

I had to try out the scent of the God of Thunder, (Not sure you would want to use both at once, you know how well the two brothers get along.. haha). The scent of Thor is called "Worthy", which is a fun name because it plays off the story of who is worthy to hold the hammer of Thor. The scent really fits the theme well, the logo is lightning (I like the logo, I would like to have seen the hammer somewhere on the bottle). The scent lasts just over 9 hours.

Over all this product gets 4 1/2 out of 5 stars (the only issue is the no sign of a hammer on the bottle)

"I am Iron Man" that is what you will be saying as you wear the scent of Tony Stark which is called "Mark VII", this is one of the best out of this set. I worried when putting on a scent named after one of the suits (who would want to have the scent of metal on them??), but I was very happy as I first used this product. The bottle shows off the logo of the suit with the look of the Arc Reactor in the middle, it is prefect for the theme. Now this doesn't give you a suit of armor or the money of Tony Stark, but it does give you the chance to act like the man himself. It lasts for almost 10 hours and really has a good strong scent the whole time.

This product gets 5 out of 5 stars.

Now it's time to "Smash"! or should I say wear "Smash" which is the name of the new product based on the big green guy himself, the HULK. So the effects of this product most likely won't turn you big and green, but it will give the feeling that you will "Smash" into the world of a good time with the strong scent of this product. This products lasts for 10 hours (that was just the time I sat waiting to see if I turned big and green... Just kidding), the scent really stays strong durning the time of wearing it. The bottle works with the name, the logo is the effect of the "Smash" and is green. I believe over all this product really fits the idea of the Hulk well.

This product gets 5 out of 5 stars.

Now the final test, this is the test of "Patriot" the scent of Captain America. This scent really does make you feel like the "Star Spangled Man with a plan" (Red, White and Blue Shield not included). Now the scent is great for the theme and the bottle shows off one of the test designs for the shield which is great, I really like this product. It makes you feel like Steve Rogers as he stands for what is right, (Maybe the next product will make you have the scent of him right before Shield finds him.... ICE!). The name really gives the true meaning of Captain America.

This product gets 5 out of 5 stars.

Smell like you were "made to rule"

I reviewed the new movie "The Avengers", which was FANTASTIC! Now I am such a huge fan of the heroes of the story as well as the villain, so I went looking for how to be like them. Now I am not going to go try and save the world, because I am not a super powered hero or a big green body of anger or even a guy in a armored suit. That is why I am working on the series of reviews of the new JADS International, LLC. products based on the movie "The Avengers"

The first product I am reviewing in this series is the colonge called "Mischief" based on the brother of Thor and the villain of the movie Loki. Now when I started movie reviews, I didn't really think I would be reviewing the scent of those in the movie. I guess there really is a first for everything.

I want to talk about the base of this product. While wearing this cologne, I feel like fighting the son of Odin (Please don't go and try to take on the God of Thunder... Remember he has a hammer and can hit you with lightning). I guess this is what is smells like to think you were made to rule. The one small thing I think could be better with the themes is the bottle, I am not saying a full on shaped like Loki bottle just maybe a little more detail to the design.

8 hours and there is still a slight scent of the "Mischief" cologne. Over all I am happy with this product and would suggest that you visit http://www.jadsinternational.com/ and buy a bottle from them or find out which stores sell this product.

This gets 4 out of 5 stars.

Thank you to JADS International LLC. for supplying this product for my review.

The Avengers Review

What do you get when you put together a all star cast, a epic comic book series as the base of the story, and a great crew? You get the year's best movie. You get THE AVENGERS!

From the 2008 movie Iron Man, all the way to Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011, there as always been a hint of The Avengers. Every movie has been building up to this, building up to what could be the best comic book movie ever. This was a action packed movie from the very start.

"Let's do a head count". -Tony Stark (The Avengers)

1. Captain America, played by Chris Evens. When we first met Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, he was working along side Howard Stark and trying to defeat Red Skull. Years later he is back from his frozen fate to fight along side the son of Howard Stark, Tony! This won't be as easy as just waking up and starting a new day for Cap. Now for the second time Chris Evens, brought this red, white and blue hero to life. I was a big fan of Fantastic Four and my favorite was Human Torch played by Evens, but I have to say I like him better as the Captain.

2. Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth. The son of Odin, first came to earth after being banned from his home planet by his father. Just as he did in the last movie, Thor has to stop his brother Loki. This time, Thor, has help from the rest of the Avengers. Same as Chris Evens, this is Chris Hemsworth's second time playing the God of Thunder. He is by far the best choice to weld the Hammer of Thor.

3. Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr. In 2008 we saw when Tony Stark first put his Arc Reactor to the test while trying to rid the world of the weapons he built, but the Arc isn't only for powering weapons it keeps him alive as well. Robert Downey Jr. is funny and fast talking in real life, bring it into this role and he makes the best Tony Stark. Here is a fun Avengers fact: Robert Downey Jr. was the first person ever to play Iron Man in live action. This is not true with these three Avengers, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor. Another fun fact: The first time Thor was played in live action was along side Hulk in the Bill Bixby series.

4. Hawkeye, played by Jeremy Renner. We only met Hawkeye for a short time in Thor, so it is really hard to talk about his story without saying too much about The Avengers story. I can talk about the man behind the bow and arrow, Jeremy Renner. It takes a lot of hard work to bring a full movie role to life with very little background from the past movies, Renner did that hard work and was perfect.

5. Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson. We first met Natasha Romanoff in the 2010 film "Iron Man 2", where she was on a mission from Nick Fury to keep an eye on Tony Stark to learn more about him and if he would be a good fit on the Avengers team. Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner played well off eachother in the new film and their story really brings in the rest of the background infomation on them you didn't know.

6. The Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo. We first met Bruce Banner in the second Avengers movie "The Incredible Hulk" in 2008. Now in that movie Bruce was played by Edward Norton, so unlike the others in the movie this was Mark's first time as this Avenger. I am a huge fan of Mark's role as Bruce aka The Hulk, he is my favorite person in that role.

Now before them became the Avengers, someone had to lead a team to find them all. Let's meet that team.

After the credits of the first Iron Man, we met the man they call Nick Fury, played by Samuel L. Jackson. He didn't work alone, the very first SHIELD person that we met was Agent Phil Coulson, played by Clark Gregg. These two were fantastic and worked well off eachother in The Avengers. Joining the team in The Avengers is Maria Hill, played by Cobie Smulders, this was her first Marvel role.

"A hero without a villain is like a day without sun" -Stan Lee, this is very true. In 2011 we first met Thor's brother Loki, played by Tom Hiddleson. Loki is a dark yet sometimes funny comic book villain which needed to be filled by the best choice, Tom was that choice. He made a return as the brother of Thor in new movie, he was the villain of the story.

We talked about the Director of SHIELD, now we need to talk to the Director of The Avengers movie. Joss Weldon's first Marvel director role was for the after credits scene on Thor. Joss was well known for directing Buffy the Vampire Slayer, no there weren't any Vampires in this film but he did bring along his great talent of directing.

The rest of the cast was EPIC!!! Great job by the whole cast and crew!

OVER ALL THIS MOVIE GETS 5 STARS!!!!!!!! If you haven't already, go see it!! If you have, go see it again!! I can not wait to see where the Avengers story goes from here.
