127 Hours (2010)

Danny Boyle uses too-frenetic direction and flashbacks and James Franco employs a method all his own to play the real-life Aron Ralston, making the story of the 27-year-old hiker who cut off his right arm inspirational. But they don’t capture the solitude.

Hot Tub Time Machine (2010)

John Cusack, Craig Robinson and the manic Rob Corddry return to 1986, when all the best sex and drugs were at ski lodges (“Hot Dog: The Movie”), where Crispin Glover (“Back to the Future”) is a bellhop in a hilarious male wish-fulfillment fantasy.
