Kiss Kiss... Bang Bang News

As I have mentioned in my Spiderman and Dark Knight Rises review, I am a big comic book fan.

To say summer will bring comic-book and sci-fi films is like saying it will contain a July.

The third installment in Marvel Studios' Iron Man franchise continues the series' trend of offering audiences a blend of comedy, action, and eye-popping effects, and that entertaining status quo reigns on with new director Shane Black in charge.

Is it possible to fight crime and still maintain have a meaningful relationship? That's only part of the premise behind the release of " Iron Man 3 ," which showcased how being a superhero wasn't as glamorous as many believed.

Tony Stark is in the middle of a panic of sorts. He is suffering what most would call a crisis of confidence.

Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the director of TRON: Legacy and the producer of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Jon Favreau may have stepped away from the camera on Iron Man 3 and left the directing duties to Shane Black, but it clearly wasn't because he didn't want to work with Iron Man himself.

Here's confirmation about an urgent and horrifying news story: Kanye West appears in "Anchorman 2." Set photos of West filming a scene in "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" arrived online on Friday.

Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man. Well, not literally. But thanks to his charismatic performance in Marvel Studios' popular "Iron Man" series, audiences - and the studio - would be hard-pressed to find a better fit for the ironclad hero.

THIS follows the basic assumption that everyone has seen last year's Marvels 'Avengers'. If you didn't then you might wonder why Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, aka Robert Downey Jr, is behaving like such a rubbish superhero in this third franchise of the series.

Shane Black, co-writer and director of Marvel's hit film "Iron Man 3," has signed a deal with the production company to direct "Doc Savage," according to a statement obtained by OTRC.com on May 7. Black, who began his entertainment career as the screenwriter of "Lethal Weapon" and went on to direct "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," also penned the "Doc ... (more)

Before we get to the review, I have a confession to make: I squealed with delight at the sight of the Hulkbuster armor at the end of the "Iron Man 3" trailer.

Like you , I found myself worn out by Iron Man 3 , especially the long, kabooming climax.

Robert Downey Jr., the star in Walt Disney Pictures' "Iron Man" franchise, seems to have quite a bit in common with the main character, Tony Stark.

"Iron Man 3" proved this weekend that Marvel superhero films still have legs even when they are not called "The Avengers." The Tony Stark-centric superhero flick opened with gross receipts of $175 million in its opening weekend, more than than 20 times the box-office take of the weekend's second most popular movie, "Pain and Gain."

"Only douches still use Bluetooth? Well, then I guess that makes me a douche. A douche all over YOUR FACE.

Those of you who are interested in films like "Iron Man 3" and have waited through a year of comic book conventions dressed as your favorite Marvel superhero do not need Cinema Siren to tell you whether to head out to keep one of Hollywood's biggest studio franchises alive and Robert Downey Jr.

Comic book movies, though not always the most intelligent films, have always been fun to a degree.

Overseas, the Robert Downey Jr three-quel grossed $175.9 million in its second weekend, putting the 3D movie's world-wide total at $680.1 million.

Tony Stark figures out how to play nice with others in " The Avengers ," but our smug, self-assured hero finally learns humility in Shane Black's " Iron Man 3 ."
