GOOD MOVIES




Mark Wahlberg stars as the title character of this gritty crime thriller, centered on an undercover New York City DEA agent who teams up with a female assassin (Mila Kunis) to avenge the murder of his family. With supporting performances by Beau Bridges, Ludacris, Chris O'Donnell and Donal Logue, this big-screen video game adaptation is directed by filmmaker John Moore.



Three soldiers injured in the Iraq War return home only to find that their tour of duty has taken its toll on the home front. Together, Colee (Rachel McAdams), TK (Michael Peña) and Cheever (Tim Robbins) set out on a cross-country road trip in hopes the journey will repair their tattered lives. Colee seeks to somehow repay her boyfriend's family, while Cheever dreams of a big Vegas win, and TK tries to regain his confidence.




Distraught over his wife's death -- and convinced that his own actions had something to do with it -- a depressed IRS (Will Smith) agent begins plotting his suicide, vowing to improve the lives of seven strangers in the process. But a chance meeting with a woman who has a life-threatening heart defect (Rosario Dawson) threatens to derail his plans when, suddenly, their budding relationship feels a lot like love.

BAD MOVIE SAVE YOUR MONEY



SAVE YOUR MONEY TOO SLOW!




Ex-spies Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and Ray Koval (Clive Owen) join competing multinational corporations to see who can get their hands on a secret product first and cash in on the profit. They have no problem double-crossing their bosses (played by Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti) but will they be willing to backstab each other? Turns out a little thing called love is getting in the way. Tony Gilroy wrote and directed this crime caper.




Don't expect a pot full of boiling bunnies, because nothing so creatively crazy ever happens in "Obsessed," a "Fatal Attraction"-inspired predatory-female domestic thriller that spends much time spinning its wheels and making auds practically beg for an explanation to all the madness and obsession. Beyonce Knowles may be the big B.O. draw in this Stephen Shill-helmed psychodrama, which topped the weekend B.O. with a surprising $28.5 million opening, but she's barely a supporting player: The movie belongs to Ali Larter, who's long overdue for some kind of bigscreen breakout.
