Smattering Of Iron Man 2
All of a sudden, people have started talking about Iron Man 2 again, for a few little reasons. Although we’ll cover those reasons, we feel we should lay the groundwork for why Iron Man 2 is such a tricky little film for Jon Favreau. The second Iron Man needs to take the Marvel universe and unite it with the Captain America movie and  Kenneth Branagh’s Thor to eventually launch an Avengers  movie featuring a whole bunch-o-heroes. It’s a real problem to take the most successful non-Spider

Tim Robbins To Play Howard Stark In Iron Man 2?
Iron Man was one of the biggest pleasant surprise movies for me ever. As I’ve mentioned before, when I first heard of the Iron Man movie getting the green light, I thought it was a stupid idea. I gradually warmed up to it and ended up really anticipating it. When it came out, turned out much better than I thought it would. Extremely entertaining movie.

Tim Robbins Rumored for 'Iron Man 2'
Jon Favreau directed a movie called Zathura a few years ago. It was pretty good, actually. Tanked, but it was OK. Perhaps he developed a good rapport with Tim Robbins, who played the father in that film, and perhaps, Favreau's heart went out to Robbins for the failure of City of Ember, among the year's biggest flops. Coincidentally, Tim Robbins played the father in that one, too. He was also a dad in Mystic River, and well, that could've ended more happily. There are reports swirling that

Being asked to compile a best-of list always makes me happy that I have a blog, because I can never remember anything, not even pop culture that I've enjoyed in a 12-month period. But I have a "plop culture" category that I spent a few minutes perusing this morning and I said a lot of things like, "Oh, YEAH, that WAS awesome!"Not surprisingly, The Wire starts off my list. Sure, the last season was flawed, but as a whole, the series is sure to go down as one of the most important examinations of urban life a
