Iron Man

Blockbusters Reviewed

Welcome to the 35th edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts! Last fortnight, I reviewed Lucifer(2016-present). This fortnight, I’m reviewing:

• Iron Man (2008), rated M for action violence
• Iron Man 2 (2010), rated M for action violence

Those are the Australian ratings; the American ones are:

• Iron Man – PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content
• Iron Man 2 – PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, and some language

As usual, I’ll give the trailers and a clip each at the end.

And as usual, I offer the following disclaimer, just to be on the safe side:

WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

The Spanish Transition to Democracy

Spain is nowadays a democratic constitutional monarchy; but roughly 40 years ago, it was just emerging from a fascist dictatorship created by Francisco Franco, and governed by him for many years.  The change was spearheaded by none other than Franco's chosen successor, King Juan Carlos I, who had given every indication of loyalty to Franco's …

The Wreck of the Clyde

The majority of history goes unrecorded - or is considered unimportant enough that the records of it are eventually lost.  This is one of the lesser-known events in history; a horrible and tragic shipwreck on the coast of New Zealand in 1884, that of the Clyde. From the Sydney Morning Herald's report: TERRIBLE SHIPWRECK AND …
