Rank: Iron Man is golden while Made of Honor misses
Share
Related Links
Movie critic Craig Outhier's irreverent guide to the best and worst of what's now playing in theaters. This week: Iron Man delivers non-stop action, but Made of Honor is nothing more than a veiled 'My Best Friend's Wedding'.


Hot stuff


1. “Iron Man”: Do you think Iron Man goes for “lemon” or “new car smell” when he gets detailed? Smash-mouth action from start to finish.
2. “The Visitor”: Lays on the human solidarity thing a little thick, I admit. But it’s so bloody good.
3. “Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay”: Does a pot-smoking George W. Bush constitute “aid and comfort” to our enemies? Alert Homeland Security.
4. “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”: Jason Segel lets it, ahem, all hang out in this Judd Apatow-produced comedy.
5. “Baby Mama”:No truth to the rumor that Amy Poehler named her baby “Publicity Windfall Poehler.”

Cool stuff


1. “Made of Honor”: Should have called it “Wedding Balls.” Now THAT is a pun.
2. “Deception”: I feel bad for ticket-buying civilians who were deceived into thinking this turgid snooze was worth seeing.
3. “Leatherheads”: Next up for George Clooney: The Coen Brothers’ CIA comedy, “Burn After Reading.”
4. “Stop Loss”: Ryan Phillippe as a battle-tested grunt. What, was Zac Efron already booked?
5. “Expelled”:Otherwise known as “Steal Ben Stein’s Dignity.”
