Iron Man 2
Directed by: Jon Favreau
Starring: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko / Whiplash, Don Cheadle as Col. James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes / War Machine, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts.
Release Date: May 7, 2010
We loved Iron Man 1 for the charm and humour Robert Downey Jr brought to the role, and hopefully there’s going to be more of the same in the second instalment. In “Iron Man 2”, the world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark is the armoured Super Hero Iron Man – and he makes no bones about having “privatised world peace.”
Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armour because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands.
With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.
Robin Hood:
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Russell Crowe as Robin Hood, Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian,
Release Date: May 14, 2010
In his fifth collaboration with Scott, Russel Crowe plays a merry man in tights. Of course, its not as ridiculous as it sounds. Scott’s version of Robin Hood is far too gritty and violent for that. Set in 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.

Fresh faced and naive, 17-year-old Bennie arrives in Buenos Aires to search for his older brother who has been missing for more than a decade.
The family had emigrated from Italy

Carlo, an acclaimed symphony co
ductor, the family moved from Argentina to New York. When Bennie finds his brother, the volatile and melancholy poet Tetro, he is not at all what he expected.
In the course of staying with Tetro and his girlfriend Miranda, the two brothers grapple with the haunting experiences of their shared past.
