Man of steel

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Warner Bros. Summertime means sleeping in late, lazy days at the pool and taking in all the summer blockbusters. My step-son is a movie buff.

Iron Man 3 Movie Clip #IronMan3Event

Iron Man 3

As if the wait  for the premiere wasn't bad enough, now Disney and Marvel are teasing me by releasing a new Iron Man 3 movie clip. I had to watch the clip twice but not for the reason you're thinking. In the clip Tony Stark tells news reporters his address. What? Tony Stark's address? That can't be a real address, right? Or could it.... My curiosity got the best of me and … [Read more...]
