Iron Man 2: Holy balls, does this movie look like it's going to be the shit. Robert Downey Jr acting cocky? Check. Mickey Rourke acting crazy? Check. Scarlet Johansson looking totally hot with dark hair? Check. Electric whips? Explosions? Guys in robotic suits fighting robots? Check, check, check. I am a little worried about all the new heroes and villains. Iron Man worked because of Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. The supporting cast was excellent but he carried the movie. If the sequel goes all in on a bigger-is-better approach, it risks turning into Batman Forever.
Hot Tub Time Machine: If Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure proved anything, it was that combining idiots with time travel makes for good comedy. Hot Tub Time Machine appears to be taking the same approach. The title is the plot, for chrissakes. Craig Robinson has never been unfunny in a part. And including Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" in a trailer is always a good choice no matter what the circumstances. The plot looks paper-thin, which means I'm probably in for a letdown, but I think this could still work.
