Iron Man 3 is an intelligent, funny, and charming take on the Superhero Action genre. The third (and final?) installment in the Iron Man franchise is a worthy -- although altogether different -- successor to the previous blockbusters. Iron Man 2 was in the rare class of sequels that many considered equal if not superior to the original. Iron Man 3 isn’t better than its predecessors. It isn’t worse, either. It is decidedly different.
The main premise of Iron Man 3 is that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) -- not Tony Stark in a super high tech suit of armor

Finding Nemo 3D was quite an unexpected delight in 3D format. While some of these 3D remakes fall flat, this one felt made for 3D.

Resident Evil: Retribution
by Ronald A. Rowe September 18th, 2012 | Action
There are two types of people who may consider plunking down their hard earned cash to see Resident Evil: Retribution in the theater this week -- those who saw the first four films in the series and those who didn’t.
Let’s start with the latter group first. Don’t be fooled by the lack of a "5" in the title. Resident Evil: Retribution is the fifth in the series of movies based on the Resident Evil video game. After a brief reverse-time opening scene, Alice (Milla Jovovich) speaks directly to the audience to recap films 1-4. That won’t be enough for

by James Maynard September 4th, 2012 | Movie Reviews
The Possession is a horror movie that isn't scary, a family movie that has no connections, and a movie full of scenes of conflict and division devoid of any kind of emotion.
The film stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen) as Clyde and Kyra Sedgwick (Phenomenon) as Stephanie, a divorced couple who are trying to begin lives apart from one another. Their two daughters, Emily (Natasha Calis, Impact) and Hannah (Madison Davenport, who performed several voices in Horton Hears a Who!) are caught in the middle. When the two girls and their father stop at a garage sale, Emily buys a
