The Essentials: Robert Downey, Jr.

There are some celebrities whose names just immediately come to mind when you think of the word “awesome”. Neil Patrick Harris, for example, or Jennifer Lawrence. But in recent years, no name has come up alongside that word more often than Robert Downey, Jr., whose personality onscreen and off has lead him to be one of the most well-loved actors in Hollywood. He’s taking a break from franchise films this weekend and starring inThe Judge, where he plays a lawyer who must put his differences with his father (Robert Duvall) aside to defend in him in court after returning home for his mother’s funeral. The film is garnering decent reviews (You can check out Gloria’s review here), which a lot of people have been glad to hear, but what are the other essentials in RDJ’s career?

Honourable mentions
: I haven’t seen these flicks myself, but fans would likely want mentions for films like The Soloist, Natural Born Killers, Weird Science, Bowfinger, Good Night, and Good Luck and A Scanner Darkly, all of which I’ve taken on good word to be pretty great. But let’s skip out on The Shaggy Dog, yeah?

Whether he’s lovingly suffering as Phoebe Buffay’s boyfriend or introducing clips of Mac and Me on talk shows, Paul Rudd is, and always has been, a delight to watch. Next year, he joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ant-Man, but first he’s churning out another romantic comedy with Parks and Recreation star Amy Poehler in They Came Together.  To celebrate, let’s take a look at the essential films of Paul Rudd’s career.

Honourable mentions: Dinner for Schmucks, an underrated comedy featuring Steve Carell (Although I’ll admit it’s quite ridiculous) and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which is a phenomenal teen drama, but to call it a Paul Rudd essential wouldn’t be right considering most people probably forget he’s even in it.

Jason Segel is one of the funniest men working today. He somehow always manages to hit the right notes and generally produces great stuff. So it’s a shame to see his new film Sex Tape getting such bad reviews. The film stars Segel and Cameron Diaz as a couple who are overwhelmed by their daily lives, and decide to let themselves go by making a sex tape. However, before they can delete it, the tape is shared via The Cloud to every iPad they gave out as Christmas presents, and must track down each and every device to ensure no one sees the video. To be fair, it doesn’t sound or look great so the bad reviews aren’t really a surprise, but if this film leaves you with a bad impression of Jason Segel, maybe check out these ones instead to remind you of his real talent
