Iron Man was a bigger hit than expected in 2008. Certainly, there were reasons for this, not the least of which was Robert Downey Jr.‘s epically flippant performance as Tony Stark.
Now, “Phase One” of Marvel’s blockbuster film schedule – kickstarted by Iron Man - is complete, Downey has two more performances and a cameo as Stark under his belt, and Phase Two has begun, with the North American release of Iron Man 3 today. Marvel and Disney’s advertising has been omnipresent for months, but if you’ve somehow been living under a rock recently, check out the trailer below.

North American audiences are forced to wait until Friday, May 3, for the domestic release of Marvel’s Iron Man 3, but that hasn’t stopped Tony Stark from drumming up a massive box office take this past weekend in foreign markets. The sequel grossed $195.3 million in 42 markets, which beats out the $185.1-million international debut for The Avengers.

Contagion: A Flickcharter’s Movie Review
9, Sep 2011
by Colin Biggs
The only flaw to Contagion - if it is a flaw in the eyes of director Steven Soderbergh – is that there is very little audience connection to the characters. The film is framed as if we are looking down and instead of seeing people, watching growth inside of a petri dish.

New Movies in Theaters: December 22, 2010
22, Dec 2010by Dan
How will you rank December 22nd’s new films against some of the best movies ever made?
True Grit – PG-13 – watch the trailer ►
Thank you, Coen Brothers, because this was shaping up to be one of the most soulless slates of Christmas wide releases ever assembled. True Grit has a 96% on RottenTomatoes after 73 reviews and stars Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin.
Gulliver’s Travels – PG – watch the trailer ►
I really like Jack Black, but this reimagining of the classic story looks pretty terrible. Emily Blunt, Amanda Peet and Jason Segel round out the very solid cast.
(Released on December 25th)
Little Fockers – PG-13 – watch the trailer ►
This franchise looks tired. After 44 reviews, it has a 9% on RottenTomatoes.
