| BABIES at Rainbow Roxy Theatre This documentary looks at babies. Horrible, blood-thirsty babies bent on the destruction of the human race - or maybe not. | ||
| DESPICABLE ME at Centre East Galleries Steve Carell is an evil super-villain who plans to steal the moon by shrinking it, with the help of three orphaned girls and his army of goofy minions that he created from breakfast cereal. 3-D action ensues. | ||
| GROWN UPS at Centre East Galleries The latest mediocre Adam Sandler comedy features the usual fart jokes, public urination and Rob Schneider pity role that we've all come to expect. | ||

| INCEPTION at Centre East Galleries To quote Keanu Reeves, 'Whoa!' This is a super-smart, amazing, head-tripping heist film from director Christopher Nolan. Leonardo DiCaprio leads a team that infiltrate people's dreams and steal their ideas - but this time, they're hired to infiltrate a dream and implant an idea. Who says nothing original ever comes out of Hollywood? | ||

| KNIGHT AND DAY at Centre East Galleries My question is if Tom Cruise is the Knight of the title, who is Day? Diaz's character is called Havens. This doesn't make much sense. | ||
| THE LAST AIRBENDER at Galaxy Cinemas M. Night Shyamalan brings Avatar: The Last Airbender to the big screen, but misses the mark yet again. | ||
| THE LAST AIRBENDER at Sundown Drive-In M. Night Shyamalan brings Avatar: The Last Airbender to the big screen, but misses the mark yet again. | ||
| MAO'S LAST DANCER at Rainbow Roxy Theatre Bruce Beresford (Breaker Morant, Driving Miss Daisy) directs this true account of the life of Li Cunxin, a Chinese-born ballet dancer who moves to the U.S. to study dance, but then is told he can't return to China. | ||
| PREDATORS at Galaxy Cinemas This movie is apparently better than AVP: Alien vs. Predator. I'm not sure if that means it's actually a good movie or not, but I guess it must be better than absolute crap. | ||
| RAMONA AND BEEZUS at Galaxy Cinemas Another family-friendly film makes it to the big screen. Based Beverly Cleary's popular kid's books, this isn't the first time Ramona has been adapted - in the 1980s, it was a very brief TV series, starring a young Sarah Polley as Ramona. | ||
| SALT at Centre East Galleries Special CIA agent sodium chloride is on the run after she's accused of being a Russian agent. Angelina Jolie pulls off her best Tom Cruise in this action spy super thriller from director Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger, The Quiet American). | ||

| TOY STORY 3 at Galaxy Cinemas This is a good sequel, but why do they always use Randy Newman for the music score? Grumble. | ||
| THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE at Centre East Galleries How does director David Slade go from directing movies like Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night to the latest Twilight offering? | ||
| THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE at Galaxy Cinemas How does director David Slade go from directing movies like Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night to the latest Twilight offering? | ||
| YEAR OF THE CARNIVORE at Rainbow Roxy Theatre Sook-Yin Lee's directorial debut is about a young woman who finds out that her unrequited crush thinks she sucks in bed, so she comes up with a scheme to get some practice. | ||
| Second Run | ||
| DATE NIGHT at Rainbow Cinemas Steve Carell has left his popular TV show The Office, so he can now focus on bombarding moviegoers with his presence. | ||
| GET HIM TO THE GREEK at Rainbow Cinemas Jonah Hill's next feature film will be MegaMind. | ||

| IRON MAN 2 at Rainbow Cinemas There will apparently be a third Iron Man movie, after he makes his appearance in the upcoming The Avengers film. | ||
| THE KARATE KID at Rainbow Cinemas Jackie Chan is returning to Hong Kong to make Armour of God III: Chinese Zodiac, which he's both directing and starring in. Sweet! | ||
| KILLERS at Rainbow Cinemas Ashton Kutcher is a government assassin, and Katherine Heigl is his unsuspecting wife. Wackiness ensues. | ||
| MARMADUKE at Rainbow Cinemas Another in the long, long, long long line of crappy talking dog movies. | ||
| PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME at Rainbow Cinemas A video game movie that's just as bad as most of them. | ||
| ROBIN HOOD at Rainbow Cinemas Ridley Scott is planning on revisiting Alien with two prequels. | ||
| SHREK FOREVER AFTER at Rainbow Cinemas Shrek battles the evil Rumpelstiltskin, after he accidently signs away the day he was born in exchange for one day where he gets to feel like a real ogre. This, of course, causes a huge time paradox-but don't worry, because it's just a cartoon after all. | ||

| DINNER FOR SCHMUCKSFri Jul 30 This is a remake of the brilliant French comedy The Dinner Game, which was about a game where a group of people got together and competed to bring the dumbest person with them to dinner. This film stars Steve Carell as the idiot, sorry, schmuck. | ||
| THE OTHER GUYSFri Aug 6 Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are a couple of loser cops who are trying to be like the awesome cops of their squad, played by Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. | ||
