IRON MAN 2 sticks to its winning formula...and succeeds

Rating: (Great)

There were a lot of rumors floating around that Iron Man 2 would suffer from Spider-Man 3 syndrome. Many feared director Jon Favreau and writer Justin Theroux would try to cram too much action, too many characters, and too many subplots into a two hour movie. The rumors were bogus. Iron Man 2 keeps it simple, sticking to the winning formula that helped its predecessor secure $585 million in global box office receipts.

"Couples Retreat" is all Vaughn, no vacation (Review)

Score:

I am posting this review late. If you already wasted your money on Couples Retreat, I'm sorry. If you loved it, you're either obsessed with Vince Vaughn, or may be content watching anything.

Before the rest of you spend $8.50 on a ticket to see Couples Retreat, please do me a favor: watch the trailer. The entire plot and almost every joke is in that two minute video. If you start rolling on the floor laughing, watch it again. If you're still dying for more, by all means, go see the movie. Just don't say I didn't warn you: it's boring.
