	The Rocker Our Rating: "It's the kind of role ready-made for Jack Black ... and [Rainn] Wilson makes the most of it in this well-crafted, feel-good satire." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes Star Wars: The Clone Wars Our Rating: "... will serve its purpose as a quick fix for die-hard fans who simply can't wait for the new Cartoon Network show to debut ..." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes Vicky Cristina Barcelona Our Rating: "... a sexy, funny divertissement that passes as enjoyably as an idle summer's afternoon in the titular Spanish city."

Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Reviews \| Showtimes Pineapple Express Our Rating: "... fitfully funny, tonally trippy but not entirely satisfying ... an unruly, literally half-baked hybrid of bloody high jinks and stoner laughs." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 Our Rating: "... seems a good bet to grab a sizable chunk of the underserved chick-flick demographic ... [The film] is about pleasability, not plausibility." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Our Rating: "... it's clear the time has come for this 'Mummy' franchise to be truly mummified ... the film comes off as both old hat and low-grade ...""

Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes Choke Our Rating: "... doesn't suffer so much from downscaled production values as from direction and packaging ..." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews Frozen River Our Rating: "... more than anything else a welcome chance for the fine actor Melissa Leo to finally dominate a film in a terrific and affecting lead role."
