At 11 years old, Ty Simpkins already has quite a few credits on his resume. Simpkins has been in movies since he was barely 3 months old, and has roles in flicks such as Insidious, The Next Three Days, and Little Children. Maybe even more interesting is how many times he's been cast in films with his real life sister Ryan Simpkins - they play siblings in Revolutionary Road, Pride and Glory and Arcadia, among others.

But for Iron Man 3, Ty's first action movie, he goes it alone. Ty plays Harley Keener, an intelligent kid who has a run-in with Iron Man and actually helps him save the day.

Ty's favorite part of working on Iron Man 3 was being able to spend time with its star Robert Downey Jr. "Robert's really fun to work with. He's a really nice guy."

Like many kids his age, Ty is a huge Iron Man fan. "My favorite superhero is Iron Man and I'm not just saying that because I worked on the Iron Man movie. It actually is Iron Man," he says very emphatically....

High school just got a little easier. Required reading "The Great Gatsby" is now a glossy movie with modern music, making the '20s a little more tangible. Joel Courtney and Katherine McNamara, stars of the upcoming summer movie Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, are KidsPickFlicks' Movie Star Movie Critics and they rate The Great Gatsby 3D a 5-star PICK:

"Glamour, glitter, girls - Gatsby. The film version of this classic novel truly lives up to the grandeur of its setting in the midst of the roaring 20's in New York. The film shows all the aspects of this era, the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the people that made it so. The production and costume design on this piece was truly phenomenal. It was grandiose enough to make the wide shots spectacular, and at the same time detailed enough to bring every shot to its fullest potential and create the perfect setting for the characters and the story. The 3D in the film was so strong that it took a bit of getting used to. However, I did love the soundtrack for the film. The mix of 20's style score and songs by modern artists including Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Lana Del Rey, brought an interesting layer to the film that makes it more relatable to some audiences. As would be expected, Leonardo DiCaprio delivered an epic performance as the title character and the rest of the all star cast met his standard of excellence. 5 stars."
