For most fans of comic books and superhero movies in general, it doesn’t get much better than Iron Man. The 2008 film introduced Tony Stark to a world outside of comics, and took the armored Avenger from a third string hero to the A list. The film under the direction of Jon Favreau was the perfect origin story, and set the tone for Marvel films that followed and are yet to come. Iron Man 2 , while lacking the spark that its predecessor had, was still a solid action-packed summer blockbuster. And in The Avengers, Joss Whedon’s superhero masterpiece which earned over $1.5 billion dollars worldwide, there is no doubt that Tony Stark stole the show. Which leads us to the third film in the franchise, Iron Man 3, which is more of a “Tony Stark” movie than an “Iron Man” movie – and there is nothing wrong with that.

We last left Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) after defending New York and the rest of Earth from an alien invasion in The Avengers. While Iron Man saved the day, Stark was left with post traumatic stress – similar to a soldier coming back from war. “Nothing has been the same since New York,” he tells his closest adviser and love interest Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) as he struggles to concentrate on anything else but to build new Iron Man suits. He field tested the Mark 7 against Loki and the Chitauri in Avengers, and we now find him putting his finishing touches on the Mark 42.

From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby. The filmmaker will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. “The Great Gatsby” follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super-rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke, Elizabeth Debicki, Amitabh Bachchan, Jack Thompson
Director: Baz Luhrmann

The Great Gatsby has been rated PG-13.

2009′s Batman: Arkham Asylum was the first time a video game actually got Batman right. Sure, there were some fun little side-scrollers on the NES and Super Nintendo. But when it came to capturing just how awesome the caped crusader is in pixels – Arkham Asylum nailed it. Then just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, Batman: Arkham City took us beyond the walls of Arkham and out into the Gotham we know and love. With the success of the Arkham series, it’s easy to imagine why news of a third game coming out later this year is so exciting.

This time around it’s a prequel, with Batman: Arkham Origins set to be released October 2013 for XBOX, PS3, Wii U and PC. The game will take place in an expanded Gotham from the one we saw last time, with an original storyline taking place years before Arkham Asylum. Unfortunately word is spreading that Kevin Conroy did not return to give his legendary voice to Batman. To add insult to injury, America’s favorite Joker, Mark Hamill, said that Arkham City would be his last performance as the clown prince of crime. Although it is disappointing, there are plenty of great voice talents that have taken on the roles over the years to choose from.
