MOVIE REVIEW: Iron Man (2008)

The sheer greatness that is Iron Man can be summed up in two words: perfect casting.

As brilliant but flawed industrialist Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr. single-handedly elevates director Jon Favreau's superhero pic from good to great. Putting his bad-boy image to good use, Downey as Stark is a debaucherous, sharp-tongued businessman who's redeemed after seeing the error of his ways.

MOVIE REVIEW: Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

As far as romantic relationships go, it's pretty much the worst-case scenario. The woman/man of your dreams dumps you, you take off for some much needed r & r to help purge them from your mind, and they show up at the same vacation spot.

An unlikely scenario, to be sure, but that's the premise of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, an amusing and at-times clever comedy from producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, Superbad).
