‘Iron Man 3’ Review: Risks Pay Off As Marvel Studios Moves Beyond ‘The Avengers’ By Russ Fischer/May 3, 2013 6:39 pm EST Iron Man 3 is a bundle of contradictions. It is light and genuinely funny, yet a vein of deep cynicism acts as the movie’s spine. At times it is gleefully silly, but it indulges ideas that are merely goofy. It wants to reconcile real-world violence into larger-than-life escapism. Yet the contradictions don’t quite break the movie....

Interview: Johnny Kevorkian, Director Of The Disappeared And Sleep Thief By Brendon Connelly/June 13, 2009 12:00 pm EST Johnny Kevorkian’s debut feature film The Disappeared is notable as a horror movie that is neither a remake nor a gore fest. It is also distinguished by the depth of characterization it shoots for, and assisted by the great performance of Harry Treadaway in the lead, Kevorkian has succeeded in giving us a horror film protagonist with a little light, a little dark and a lot of soul....
