(Note: A “2” and “3” is counted as a sequel to the preceding film. It makes sense. If you watched Toy Story 3 without seeing 2, you would have to guess at who Jessie is and where she came from.)

It’s hard to believe, but this column marks my thirteenth year as a journalist for AWN. I have only you, my wonderful readers, to thank. Your hits, responses, and interest in my humble opinions have kept the show going longer than I ever dreamed it would back in 1999. Let’s stay tooned together!

Iron Man' was really no big deal, so I had lttlie to no expectations for a second movie.Out of a complete lack of focus, I'm going to use the same listicle as Todd and say the robot from Spaceballs' just because it really was one of those rub-your-temple moments in cinema.
