Iron Man 3 (B)

What you really need to know: Iron Man 3 is better than 2, not as good as the original.

Comments, in no particular order, after the jump.

Star Trek Into Darkness (B+)

For a series with the tagline "To boldly go where no man has gone before," Star Trek Into Darkness treads some pretty familiar ground.*

Admittedly, it treads with panache; the spectacle is spectacular, lens flare abounds, and lots of things go 'splodey-boom. IN SPACE. With Simon Pegg. And Benedict Cumberbatch. 

So it was enjoyable. If you're unsure about shelling out nine clams, go right ahead. Come back and we can quibble about details.

On dancing

...Successful dancing is 99 percent the face you make. If you’re at a wedding reception and you’re dancing like a maniac on the dance floor? As long as you’re making the right face, no one will fault you. If you’re taking yourself too seriously, that’s when you can look like a jackass. Even then, I would highly recommend making a jackass of yourself over sitting at your table wishing you were working it out to Kool & the Gang.
