Review - Iron Man 3

Some quick thoughts on Iron Man 3:

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a “piping hot mess”. His words, not mine. Suffering severe anxiety and PTSD over last summer's alien attack in The Avengers, he takes comfort in tinkering with his small army of mechanical suits after hours, while his harried sweetheart Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow in fine form) worries alone.

Song preformers announced for Oscar telecast

Gwyneth Paltrow, A.R. Rahman, Florence + The Machine, Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Alan Menken, and Randy Newman are ready to set our ears aloft on Oscar Night by performing this year's four nominated songs. What fun twill be!

Nice to see these will be included in the show, after Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic so rudely eschewed them from last year's. So far it seems Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer are doing a fine job of assembling the show, besides the somewhat awkward decision to have a Best Actor nominee co-hosting. Otherwise, can't wait!
