Directly after an advance screening of Marvel Comics’ “Iron Man,” starring Robert Downey, Jr., Eric and J.D. give an Instant Review of the movie. Summer is here an the influx of superheroes is just beginning, but “Iron Man” is a cut above the rest. Thanks to a strong lead performane by Robert Downey, Jr., a script that’s actually about something, and director Jon Favreau’s keen eye for comedy, “Iron Man” gets two rock fists up even though it doesn’t use Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” until the closing credits. 

Eric and J.D. discuss why Jason Segel is the new Seth Rogen (”Superbad”) and what makes “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” better than most romantic comedies of its ilk. It may have something to do with producer Judd Apatow (”Knocked Up, “The 40 Year-old Virgin”), but they’re pretty sure it has more to do with an unflinching sense of honesty, lots of male nudity, and a keen eye on satirizing Hollywood types. Plus, UK comedian Russell Brand is hilarious.

The joke goes something like this: “Shine A Light,” the new Rolling Stones concert film, is the first Martin Scorsese movie to not feature “Gimme Shelter.” It’s true, Marty has used the Stones in “Mean Streets,” “GoodFellas,” and “The Departed,” but never before has he orchestrated a entire rapturous two-hour concert film about his favorite dangerous English rockers. So what if they’re in their sixties? Eric and J.D. are convinced that if you are a rock n’ roll fan, you’ll love this movie, especially in IMAX. Eric’s print review has more here.

Eric and J.D. review the Judd Apatow-produced, Seth Rogen/John Hughes-written comedy “Drillbit Taylor,” starring Owen Wilson and three kids who stepped out of a “Superbad” time machine three years earlier. Find out why movie studios release movies like this one, directed by Steven Brill (“Without a Paddle,” “Mr. Deeds”), in March. Eric’s print review is here.

The wait is over. Shortly after the screening Tuesday night, Eric and J.D. recorded this “Cloverfield” Instant Review. It was the last time anyone has heard from either of them. Well, except J.D.’s print review. And, Eric’s Sundance blogs. OK, OK, we know where they are–just play along!

“There Will Be Blood” has Eric and J.D. giddy with excitement. A review of the best movie of the year may be the last place you’d expect an offhand joke about an 80s hair metal band to inappropriately run amok, but that’s just the way we roll.

Is “Juno” a cinematic breath of fresh air or just another teen pregnancy comedy? Are there any funnier subjects than that? These questions and more will be answered by clicking the play button above as Eric & J.D. discuss “Juno” mere moments after the screening.

Moments after a screening, there is singing but not much rejoicing, as Eric and J.D. are split on their review of the twisted and bloody Stephen Sondheim musical “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”

Eric and J.D. are split on the merits of the newest potential fantasy franchise, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, some old personal wounds are opened up, and there is some unexpected rejoicing. Ouch. Watch their on-camera review here, or check out Eric’s print review here.

“Beowulf” mounts a heroic effort and that’s not all, the randy Geat! “We came, we saw, we wore fashionable wraparound neon glasses.” Eric and J.D. file an on-camera report from a 3-D IMAX screening of “Beowulf.” Prefer the more considered approach? Eric also filed a print review right here.
