In The Oranges, Hugh Laurie gets to sleep with the much younger Leighton Meester, who also happens to be the daughter of his good friend and neighbor. It doesn’t seem like a very good decision, but if I had to pick between Leighton Meester and Oliver Platt, there is at least a 55 percent chance I would do the same thing. There’s also about a 55 percent chance you’ll like The Oranges enough to make it worth your while.

You’ve been kidnapped, injected with drugs and sold into sex slavery. In Paris. Naturally, you would have no concern traveling to Istanbul. And your dad, who was so paranoid about you traveling out of the country and, when you did get kidnapped, went on a murderous rampage, would have no problem with you tagging along on his trip. Enter Taken 2, where plausibility goes to die.

Last time you saw Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp team up, the result was a quiet franchise known as Pirates of the Caribbean. Actually, it was the stellar animated movie Rango. Their latest unholy union is The Lone Ranger, a super-expensive and problem-laden western adventure flick that may or may not involve werewolves and other supernatural creatures.

You knew they would be back. You stay up late thinking about it. It’s a horror we all fear. Nazis. Plotting their return, their revenge. They’ve had seven decades to perfect their plan, and in the B-grade action movie Iron Sky, we see what those book-burning bastards have put into motion.

A vintage 1990′s classic made its Blu-ray debut last week. Disney said, “so what?”
Arachnophobia is the best spider movie of all time, and it still stands the test of time. Yes, it’s a bit goofy, a bit cheesy, but even still it makes you want to check that popcorn before you stick your hand in the bowl and the shower faucet in the morning. As silly as it is – John Goodman plays a wisecracking exterminator – the movie lives up to its name.

Bruce Willis squares off against a Bruce Willis-esque Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Looper, a time bending action-thriller that not only exceeds its lofty expectations, but serves up one of the best sci-fi stories of the last decade.

Paramount Pictures has released a new movie trailer for Paranormal Activity 4, which has the possessed chick and her kidnapped nephew (if I remember correctly) wreaking havoc on a teenage girl who lives nearby.

Let’s face it: The state of the modern Hollywood romantic comedy is abysmal. Sure, there have been a couple of diamonds in the rough here and there; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Punch-Drunk Love come to mind. The bad news is that I had to reach all the way back to 2004 and 2002 for examples. For many, including myself, it feels like Hollywood is making the same movie over and over again, laden with clichés and a cast liable to include Katherine Heigl or Kate Hudson.
