While it seems as though most people avoided The Box this past weekend, I jumped at the opportunity.
Check out my review if you're curious to know what's in The Box!
In case you haven't seen it plastered on every ad and in every commercial, Inglourious Basterds is directed by Quentin Tarantino.
This will certainly be clear from the moment the movie opens. Anyone that takes issue with his unique blend of genres and self-indulgent style should stay as far away from this film as possible.
But anyone simply seeking a great time at the theater should line up now for a ticket. Read more with our full Inglourious Basterds review.
Funny People marks Judd Apatow's third time behind the camera.
And it's easily his best, most well-rounded film.
Giving the performance of his life, Adam Sandler anchors the movie, which mixes messages about life and death with good ol' Apatow bathroom humor. Read our full Funny People review for more.
The Ugly Truth is atrocious.
This is an unfunny, unromantic comedy that manages to insult both genders with its cliches and sterotypes.
There's little else to even say about it. Go read our full The Ugly Truth review to see just why we hate the movie so much.
Opening on the same weekend as Bruno is both logical, and unfortunate, for Humpday.
Both movies challenge the viewers to watch grown men in uncomfortable situations, yet both also aim for a higher message. Naturally, Bruno has received far more publicity. But that's too bad.
As our Humpday movie review details, this is an uproarious, intelligent movie. Read more about it now.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince may have been bumped back seven months from its original December release, but we can say with confidence:
It's well worth the wait.
Combining great storytelling with top-notch special effects, this is the ideal set-up for the franchise's conclusion in the upcoming, two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Read our full review now of the latest Harry Potter movie.
Following Sacha Baron Cohen's role in Borat, viewers know what to expect from Bruno.
But while a few jokes, and numerous depictions of male nudity, may seem stale, we challenge anyone not to laugh out loud at the entire second hour of this comedy.
Considering the hot button topic of gay marriage, the movie even takes on more social importance than Borat, but let's not fool ourselves: there's a lot of penis and a lot of laughs.
Be prepared. And read our Bruno review for more.
If you want car chases and explosions, there's a movie about robots that we recommend.
But if you're looking for a more drawn-out, character-based film about a real-life criminal and the man assigned to bring him to justice, we recommend Public Enemies.
It won't overwhelm you with action or special effects, but it's an absorbing tale. Read our complete Public Enemies review now!
It will be difficult to find a movie this year with a less original premise than 17 Again. The age-reversal storyline has been done to death.
Still, the performance of Zac Efron, a mainstream star in the making, makes this a worthwhile family film.
Read our detailed 17 Again review to find out why.
