mixed with ice and
coffee beans. It was
absolutely delicious
and enjoyable, so if
you love Tiramisu,
you will adore this
cocktail!
The finale of the
evening was the
private screening of
Iron Man 3, one of the
most talked-about
blockbusters of the season.With
popcorn in hand, we entered the
cosy screening room, which was
a smaller version of a normal
cinema with an amazing sound
system and seats that lean back
enough to get a comfortable
viewing. If you are a fan of the
Marvel superhero, Iron Man 3
has everything you could wish
for – fast moving, explosive
and action-packed, iron-suited
superhero gadgets, the normal
good guys against villains (it
wouldn’t be exciting if you just
had all the good guys, would it?)
and funny, witty entertainment.
In this latest offering, Iron
Man 3 finds multi-millionaire,
philanthropist and playboy Tony
Stark played by Robert Downey
Jr., entangled between the past
and the present.We see a more
human side to him, which may
be from suffering post-stressed
disorder after battling aliens in
The Avengers (admittedly they
took a bit of a battling but came
through victorious all the same).
So, now Stark is a bit more
vulnerable and seemingly more
realigning in his various iron
suits. As usual, he is supported
by the usual suspects: the ever
faithful Pepper Potts (Gwyneth
Paltrow) CEO of the company, his devoted
buddy James Rhodes played by Don
Cheadle, also known in the film as War
Machine and former director Jon Favreau
(who served as executive producer)
as Happy Hogan who gets promoted
from driver to head of security at Stark
Industries.
The film just wouldn’t be
the same without evil villains to
spice up the plot.The hilarious,
twisted mind of The Mandarin,
brilliantly performed by Sir
Ben Kingsley is a revelation.
His world domination
plan cannot be executed
without the help of two new
corrupted scientists, played by
Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall,
the masterminds behind the
