Speed Racer

May 9th, 2008

Iron Man

May 3rd, 2008

Iron Man is not the story of a guy who presses his own laundry. It does involve a billionaire genius in a metal with the iron irony being that not much of it could possibly be iron but probably some other ultra bullet proof alloy. Iron just wouldn’t survive the ordinance he faces in this getup (with even more irony) against sophisticated munitions also of his invention. The suit comes to ligh ...
