Is Iron Man 2 family appropriate?

Iron Man 2 has been hammered a bit by critics so I wasn’t expecting much when I purchased my ticket.  Considering that Tony Stark is a hard drinking womanizer, I don’t believe anyone has delusions of Iron Man 2 being a Disney style family film. After hitting a midnight showing, I’m excited to say that […]

Standing the SPOT where the Times Square car bomb was parked

My first attempt at making a primitive bow
