Top Disappointments of 2013: Jonesy's Take

2013 was a year of solid theatrical releases. While reading various sites and their lists of "bad movies" or "box office bombs", I realized I was lucky enough to miss most of those films that made those lists. Instead, I have my top five disappointments of 2013. These were films that had high expectations but failed to deliver for various reasons. 

Check it out after the break.

Disappointments of 2013- Javi's Picks!

As always, we'll be a very stereotypical movie blog and make a bunch of lists. First up (so we can end the year on a high note) are our disappointments of the year. The unofficial theme here is "Directors That I Really Respect and Like Who Made Bad Movies."

Check out my picks below.

IRON MAN 3 Spoilerific Review: Javi and Jonesy's Take

IRON MAN 3

Directed by: Shane Black

Written by: Drew Pearce and Shane Black

Starring: Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Don Cheadle, and Ben Kingsley

Synopsis: In trying to gain back his life after the events in NYC, Tony Stark has a new villain to fight.

Please note that this is intended to be read AFTER you have seen the film as it it is completely jammed packed with spoilers. Which judging by how much it has made, most of you have probably already done.

Enjoy!

IRON MAN 3 Trailer Drops!

Are you ready for round two? Now that the first set of Avengers films, we get to enjoy another set of individual Avengers films before the big sequel which is scheduled to be released in May 2015. The first one up for the second round (or in this case third) is IRON MAN 3. This third installment begins where THE AVENGERS left off where Tony Stark has saved the world and now must begin his life again.

I said when I posted the teaser trailer that this film is taking a darker tone from the first two, but after seeing the full length trailer, oh man, I got goosebumps.

Sportsball Bowl Trailer Watch: IRON MAN 3

This Beyonce show has some of the best commercials even if it has some weird sportsball dudes interrupting it. Anyway, the newest IRON MAN 3 trailer has shown up online. This particular trailer has an introduction by Iron Man himself, Robert Downey Jr.  Thanks to the Iron Man 3 Facebook group for posting this trailer online.



I know people are already bitching because the movie looks "dark and gritty" but I really think that writer/director Shane Black knows what's up.


IRON MAN 3 is directed by Shane Black and will be released May 3, 2013 starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Jon Favreau, and Ben Kingsley.

IRON MAN 3 Trailer Drops!

Now we're onto round two. After THE AVENGERS blew up the box office this past summer, the Marvel Universe is in full swing to get the sequels out about the individual Avengers. First, they're starting with IRON MAN 3. It seems this third installment happens in the wake of the events of THE AVENGERS, and it has effected Tony Stark considerably. 

Here's the synopsis, which kind of puts me to sleep:

Marvel’s IRON MAN 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

But the trailer makes up for it.Check it out after the break.
