Old people just don’t know when to quit. Sylvester Stallone and the rest of his washed-up gang are back in The Expendables 2, a dumb, silly sequel to a movie that needed to be dumber and sillier. The first Expendables was a big, fat disappointment for a multitude of reasons. The Expendables 2 proves that low expectations can pay dividends. Sort of.

A gang of idiots combines forces to hunt down a murderer only to learn that the murderer is an alien plotting an invasion of their small town in The Watch, a film that is less notable for any of its own merits and more for being affected by the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin shooting case.

Twilight is no Harry Potter, according to the box office numbers for the opening weekend of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, presumably and hopefully the last entry in the wretched franchise.

Edgar Allen Poe was a morbid little guy. So naturally, director James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) has made a movie about Edgar Allen Poe investigating a series of murders inspired by Edgar Allen Poe poems. John Cusack plays Edgar Allen Poe, but unfortunately The Raven pales in comparison to the writer’s real work.

After a lackluster theatrical run that found the $45-million Savages earning only $77 million worldwide – hardly a profitable venture after marketing and print costs are taken into account – the Oliver Stone action-thriller tears its way onto Blu-ray and DVD.

James Bond is seeing green unlike anything he has seen before. Box office reports have the critically praised 007 film Skyfall debuting to $87.8 million – not counting the $2.2 million it earned on Thursday in IMAX theaters – the biggest opening for a James Bond movie ever. Even when adjusted for inflation.

Where’s John Wilkes Booth when you need him? Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated Lincoln – starring none other than Daniel Day-Lewis – has finally trotted into theaters, but the sweeping epic it could have and should have been instead is a two-and-a-half-hour-long courtroom procedural that will bore general audiences.

From the director of nothing comes a subtle but impactful drama starring three Oscar heavyweights. A Late Quartet, about the emotional unraveling of a famous string quartet, is explosively delicious and features some of the better performances of the year, though some might find it simply quaint.

It’s the inevitable spiral effect: what begins with raccoons will eventually end in murder. Tobey Maguire stars in The Details, a surprisingly entertaining film where its biggest fault is its generically awful title. The movie also stars Elizabeth Banks, Kerry Washington, Ray Liotta, Laura Linney and Dennis Haysbert.

Four years after Quantum of Solace and two years after MGM filed for bankruptcy, Bond – James Bond, that is – is back in what is undoubtedly one of the best films of the franchise. Directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes, best known for American Beauty, Skyfall is grand, sophisticated and abnormally personal. Its only problem: it doesn’t always feel like a Bond film.

Jack Black turns in the best performance of his career in Bernie, where he plays a friendly, possibly gay mortician who befriends a cranky old woman but then, with a momentary burst of insanity, shoots her dead. Funny, interesting and based on a true story, Bernie is a welcome surprise.

Silent tension erupts between a father and son both nominated for the same prestigious award in the Oscar-nominated foreign film Footnote, a compelling drama that is engaging until it isn’t.

Allegedly, some critics have compared the Danish comedy Klown to The Hangover. Others, as promoted on the Blu-ray cover, call it "the funniest movie of the year." Klown is not like The Hangover nor is it the funniest movie of the year, but the oddly disturbing, politically incorrect and painfully awkward film has just enough cringe-inducing moments to make it worth the journey.
