Favreau may be out of the director's chair, but Happy Hogan will return.

Twenty 20-Fav: Iron Man 3 (2013)

A movie where Guy Pearce plays a fire-breathing dragon. Also it's Christmas.

The cinematic equivalent of busywork.

Twenty 20-Fav: People Like Us (2012)

Favreau's "Cowboys & Aliens" feels more like a sticky note on a blank page than a finished screenplay.

Twenty 20-Fav: Cowboys & Aliens (2011)

Favreau may have left Marvel for greener pastures, but this ain't it, chief.

Iron Man 2 is still garbage, but it comes from a time when "Thunderstruck" wasn't the only AC/DC song in the world.

Twenty 20-Fav: Iron Man 2 (2010)

Second verse, worse than the first.

All these years later, I'm still mad at Vince Vaughn for making me pay money to watch him play Guitar Hero.

Twenty 20-Fav: Couples Retreat (2009)

The film that put a face to the male loneliness epidemic before it even had a name also gave the world the phrase 'totes magotes'. Can't win em all...

Twenty 20-Fav: I Love You, Man (2009)

Weapons is a great, stylish horror story with a lot to chew on. So naturally I spend most of this review talking about COVID times.

REVIEW: Weapons (2025)

Asking the serious questions like “What if the Naruto run was evil?”

Twenty 20-Fav continues with Four Christmases, which brings back my favorite running gag in this series: Jon Favreau beating up Vince Vaughn.

Twenty 20-Fav: Four Christmases (2008)

Neither romantic, nor a comedy.
