Penang, the areca nut palm tree island no more.

There are no more coolies on the docks [...]

Movie Review – Iron Man 3
April 26, 2013 By 6 Comments
Marvel’s ” Iron Man 3 ” pits slick, brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/ Iron Man against an enemy who is equally slick and cunning… The essence of this movie is really about the “stripped-down” iron man. It kind of reminds me of Skyfall, where Bond goes back to basics, in the final confrontation with the enemy. [...]
