"The Next Three Days" is a gripping suspense drama, combining themes of
morality and rationality with the timeless intrigue of a prison break.
Well-acted and effectively shot, its narrative shortcomings are
overshadowed by standout performances from Russell Crowe and
Elizabeth Banks.

"Deathly Hallows" is one of "Potter's" more bittersweet entries - bitter
in the sense that it's somehow devoid of the inherent wonder and, well,
magic of its predecessors; but sweet in that its actors have literally
grown into their roles, delivering emotional and thoughtful performances
fitting for the material.

'Paranormal Activity 2' is basically the same movie as the first, only this time there's a
baby, a German shepherd and a comically menacing robotic pool cleaner.

Funny enough, whenever I hear "Clint Eastwood," I think of the
subway scene in 'Crocodile' Dundee 2, where star Paul Hogan is mistaken by a couple Japanese

Directed by and starring Ben Affleck, this Boston heist
