Today we get to peek at some Iron Man 2 goodness today. And by goodness, I mean that we get the title in an ‘iron’ font that is sure to make us froth at the mouth, right?

Warner Bros. has released two new character posters from Guy Ritchie’s upcoming action adventure Sherlock Holmes this morning, showing off the intense glares of both Holmes, played by Robert Downey Jr., and Watson, played by Jude Law.

There is something about director Jon Favreau and his cronies over at Marvel Studios that leads me to believe that they are wired perfectly for this business.

As a fan of the comics, it looks like Favreau is saying all the right things when it comes to elements of Iron Man 2. Should I continue getting my hopes up about War Machine and Tony Stark losing his mind? I think so.

As expected, the first trailer for Sherlock Holmes is graduating from Elementary to deliver a blend of humor, violence and sex appeal.

The folks at People and On Location News have a few snaps for us today of some semi-interesting things happening on the set of Iron Man 2, including Robert Downey Jr. in a familiar red suit and Samuel L. Jackson in a familiar eye patch.

USA Today has posted an early look at the upcoming possible blockbuster including new photos, a screen description, and news about the film’s first trailer…

Earlier today our cheeky British friend Brendan Connelly over at /Film filed an interesting report about Gwyneth Paltrow and the expansion of her role as Pepper Potts in Iron Man 2.

With Iron Man 2 a full year away, I’m not sure that releasing a teaser image is the right way to try to retain the dark horse status that Jon Favreau claims to want.

Obsessed could have been called Bitch, That’s My Man! and it would have made just as much money, maybe even more.

Kevin Carr reviews this week’s new movies: The Soloist, Earth and Obsessed.

Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) is a staff reporter for the Los Angeles Times, writing up life experiences. When he meets Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a schizophrenic, homeless, former Julliard musician, he finds a story that actually changes his life.

Neil leads a protest against the studios by refusing to see any of the movies out this week. Kevin suffers through The Soloist while he takes his kids to work (i.e., gets them out of school to see a movie) on Take Your Child to Work Day.

Two new cast members sign on to Iron Man 2, Jon Favreau twitters from the set and wait, did we miss the fact that one of our favorite guys from AMC’s Mad Men is playing Tony Stark’s father?

Robert Downey Jr. spills a few little thematic details, talks about the “demon in a bottle” storyline and comments on how hot Scarlett Johansson will look as Black Widow. In related news, this Iron Man 2 movie is happening.

Does that mean that Rourke has turned down a $250,000 check from Marvel? Find out inside.

We’ve got some first look pictures of Rachel McAdams in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, as well as Robert Downey Jr. talking about his Oscar nomination for Tropic Thunder.

Now we know what happens when you attempt to shaft Shaft.

Forget the Best and the Worst of 2008. These are the actors, directors and producers that made the biggest impact on the world of film and how they might impact us in 2009.

How (puke-colored) green was our valley in 2008? I offer ten instances in film that did not live up to a certain amount of hype, didn’t get the credit they deserved, or just flat-out disappointed the general public.
