What should be the worst movie of the year, if not all time, is instead a reasonably passable vehicle for Larry the Cable Guy. No kidding.

Stranger Than Fiction has the pedigree to be quirkily great. For some people, that will be enough to trick themselves into loving it. But the non-fiction here is that the greatness begins and ends with the movie's marvelous title.

Basically, this remake of All the King's Men is a nice way to take a two-hour nap, despite Sean Penn’s fervent attempts to wake you up.

All Derailed has going for it is its aesthetics. The actors look oh-so-pretty, prancing mischievously through dimly lit Chicago. But there's nothing here we haven't seen before.

Don’t be fooled by the The Weather Man’s marketing approach. It appears to be a laugh-riot comedy fueled by flying fast food and Nicolas Cage meltdowns. But the film is really a thoughtfully assembled, terrifically acted existential journey of a man coming to grips with his own mediocrity.

Roll Bounce is a breath of fresh air, to be certain. It could've benefited by steering clear of its sappy subplot but will still offer some pleasant nostalgia for adults--and Bow Wow for the kids.

As far as good haunted house movies go, The Amityville Horror remake actually surpasses the original and delivers the hide-behind-the-hands effects with aplomb.
