What should you go see this weekend? Which new movie will be a hit? Which ones will bomb worse than a film about the Iraq war?

Here’s a look at the four main movies opening today…

Iron Man
Stars: Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard
Quick synopsis: Rich dude Tony Stark invents a suit made of iron and becomes a super hero.
Prediction: The first huge hit of the summer. Could approach $70 million in weekend box office haul.

Made of Honor
Stars: Patrick Dempsey, Michelle Monaghan
Quick synopsis: Remember My Best Friend’s Wedding? Switch genders.
Prediction: A few women may drag their boyfriends to it, but haven’t we all seen this movie many times before? A distant second place at the box office.

Son of Rambow
Stars: Neil Dudgeon
Quick synopsis: Movie’s title is the name of the home movie made by two little boys with a big video camera and even bigger ambitions.
Prediction: Won’t be on the radar as far as box office rankings go, but is receiving critical praise.

Yes, from “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2” and “What Happens in Vegas…” to “Sex and the City: The Movie,” there are more than a few rom-coms coming soon to a theater near you. For his film “Made of Honor,” star Patrick Dempsey tries to tell us that his flick is for dudes too, but we’re not fully convinced. Take a look below and let us know what you think.

Sorry, guys. You might wanna go stare at pictures of Megan Fox for awhile.

This post is meant for our young, female readers.

While details of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull have remained mostly secret, the studio just sent over a new and revised synopsis for the upcoming adventure (check it out below, along with a series of photos from the film).

It begins in desert Southwest in 1957 – at the height of the Cold War.  Indiana and his sidekick Mac (Ray Winstone) have barely escaped a close scrape with nefarious Soviet agents on a remote airfield.

Now,  Jones has returned home to Marshall College, only to find that things have gone from bad to worse.  His close friend and dean of the college (Jim Broadbent) explains that Indy’s recent activities have made him the object of suspicion; the government has put pressure on the university to fire him.

On his way out of town, Indiana meets rebellious young Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), who carries both a grudge and a proposition for the adventurous archaeologist:  If he’ll help Mutt on a mission with deeply personal stakes, Indy could very well make one of the most spectacular archaeological finds in history:

The Crystal Skull of Akator, a legendary object of fascination, superstition and fear.

We’re written a lot about the rumors of an Iron Man sequel.

Now, though, Viacom/CBS Executive Chairman Sumner Redstone and Paramount Pictures CEO Brad Grey told Entertainment Tonight that if the movie does as well as expected, the company will greenlight a sequel for the same week in 2010.

We’ll let you know as more information comes in about Iron Man 2. But it’s rather safe to assume the film will perform well enough this weekend to warrant a couple more in the franchise.

Teresa Palmer, who has been rumored have landed the villainess role of Talia al Ghul in the Justice League of America movie, may also have been cast in the Transformers sequel.

Palmer, who most recently joined Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe in December Boys, has landed an unspecified role in the highly-anticipated Transformers 2. Might this mean that Megan Fox might not return as Shia’s love interest in the movie?

That would suck, but it’s hard to complain if Palmer is her replacement. Take a look and see why:

For months, it was rumored that Samuel L. Jackson would appear in Iron Man as the comic character Nick Fury, an eye-patched agent of a secret government organization.

Well, now we know why the actor had been denying that he’s in the movie: because he isn’t.

But reports are coming in that Jackson does, indeed, make this highly-anticipated cameo… during the closing credits! Here’s a fuzzy look at it now:

So when Iron Man fades to black this weekend, stay in your seat. Fury pops up on screen and many believe he’ll be prominently involved in the film’s sequel.

Samuel L. Jackson is likely to appear in a future Iron Man movie as the character of Nick Fury.
