"Iron Man"

Critics' Picks
Salon's culture gurus tip you off to their favorite things this week: A knockout '70s R&B singer, a ravishing anime, the best season of "Survivor" in years.
"Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay"
This good-natured sequel might not be as endearing as the original, but it's still much more than another stoner comedy.
"Deception"
It's bad enough that this Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman thriller is improbable. But why does it have to look so awful?
"Baby Mama"
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make a dynamite duo, but this spoof of our child-centric culture doesn't go as far as it could.

This quietly astonishing picture has the power to carry you outside of yourself and float you away.
"Stop-Loss"
Ryan Phillippe plays a soldier called back to Iraq after he's completed his term of duty. How can we not care?
"Run Fatboy Run"
All hail the pasty guy in tiny underpants in David Schwimmer's (Ross! From "Friends"!) directorial debut.
"21"
This movie about card-counting MIT math geniuses in Vegas looks like a good bet, but don't double down.

Is it a sin to wish Tyler Perry's movies were better?
"Boarding Gate"
This hypnotic, angular thriller about sex, murder, betrayal and money takes you on a feverish journey from nowhere to somewhere.
