Entertainment : In Depth: Iron Man 3 brings action, comedy to Palace

"A girl and a couple of lame quips, that's all you got?" a female assassin taunts Tony. "Sweetheart," he replies, "that's the title of my autobiography."

Oh, Tony Stark, you have so much more than that!

“Iron Man 3” in amazing RealD 3D, starring Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Jon Favreau, Paul Bettany, and Ben Kingsley, opens Friday! Showing, June 7 through 13 every evening at 7 pm, and Monday, June 10 at 2 pm, this high action comedy adventure is rated PG-13 and runs well over two hours.

First of all, if you haven’t watched the first and second installments in the “Iron Man” series…well, why not?? Do so tonight! And then come catch number three at the Palace.

The “Iron Man” franchise has it all – high energy, edge-of-your seat action and clever comedic quips throughout, a super hero love triangle, a tried and true sidekick bromance, and a radical, evil villain named Mandarin.

Mostly “Iron Man 3” has Robert Downey Jr. Girls love him, guys wanna be him. I promise you will be thoroughly entertained at the movies this week.

I did read that this film is violent, violent, violent – almost beyond its PG-13 rating. So, please leave impressionable youth with a sitter.
