Review:
I had seen Iron Man 1 & 2 by the time this movie came out, but I must confess...I was actually one of the few people that did not see The Avengers.  So I decided that since The Avengers looked more like it should have been called "Iron Man and the Avengers," I wanted to see it first.  I'm glad I did.  Iron Man's experience with The Avengers was definitely a big part of the third Iron Man. 

Of course, Iron Man 3 was very action-packed and humorous, just like the previous films.  I still maintain that Don Cheadle steals the show, which is difficult to do from Robert Downey Jr.  Even if you haven't seen the Iron Man 1 & 2 or The Avengers, you would still enjoy this film for sheer entertainment purposes...you just may be a little confused.  I hate to tell people to do homework before they see a movie, but this film is best enjoyed when you know what happened in the previous films.

Flight

Movie: Flight
Major Actors: Denzel Washington, Don Cheadle, Melissa Leo, Bruce Greenwood, Kelly Reilly, and John Goodman
Rating: R
Best Audience: Adults only

Review: Flight is one of those films that "makes you think." There are some funny moments, but overall, this movie is raw and real. The main character of the movie is NOT a likeable character; he is a trainwreck. However, Denzel does an excellent job portraying an alcoholic, drug addicted, careless man. John Goodman brings humor to the film, as always. I would recommend Flight to adults. However, it's not a "date night" movie or a movie teens or kids would like (or should see).
