There’s not a shred of originality to be seen in The Hitcher, but it’s still enough of an assault on two of the five senses to tide you over till the next horror remake.

Although Charlotte's Web suffers a little from Babe envy, it is still a very faithful and endearing live-action adaptation of the beloved children’s classic. It's the talking pig movie for the next generation!

The Wayans brothers clearly possess talent, but you wouldn’t know it from their latest effort, Little Man. If, and only if, viewers suspend disbelief to the point of an amnesiac will they derive most of the intended laughs.

Ice Age: The Meltdown stayed on top for the second week at the North American box office, grossing a respectable $34.5 million over the weekend. The animated sequel fended off the Rob Schneider-David Spade baseball comedy The Benchwarmers, which debuted as runner-up with $20.5 million.

Even though Hide and Seek's chilling tag phrase--"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"--may be enticing, just stay right where you are. Don't even bother venturing out to see this unoriginal thriller.

Although bolstered by individual moments of pure hilarity and ribaldry from the entirely engaging cast, Ocean's Twelve doesn't quite measure up to the effortlessness of Eleven. The film is just too smart and twisty for its own good.
