Case 39
Skip-it - Of the two scary movies hitting theaters this week, this is hands down the worst! In fact, it is completely repulsive, illogical and just plain silly - despite stars like Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger.
Born To Be Wild
Rent-it - A beautiful documentary about the bond between humans and animals with some of the best 3-D footage you will ever see - if you like National Geographic or visiting the zoo you will love this experience.
Battle: Los Angeles
Wait-for-it - There are a dozen cliches for every "wow" moment, but the first 30 minutes are intensely suspenseful and the action delivers like an all-night video gaming marathon of Halo Reach
