HP6 is one of the best.
Not sure which movie to see this week in theaters? Let me help you out. The following is a list of films playing in the majority of theaters around the nation, including the latest (and possibly greatest) Harry Potter film, bringing in $396.7 million worldwide in its first five days at the box office.
1. Hurt Locker - See-it if you can - This nearly perfect war epic is "well-acted, intensely shot, and action filled." Like Jarhead or Blackhawk Down? You’ll love this!
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - See-it - Though Harry Potter races through each memorable moment in the book, it does so while remaining true to the story, superbly entertaining, and completely comprehensible.
3. 500 Days of Summer - See-it - Rarely do you find a romantic comedy that feels like it could actually happen to you, but 500 Days of Summer plays out like every relationship you've ever had; however, managing to remain completely intriguing along the way.
4. Bruno - See-it - Hilarious, offensive, insightful, crude and unbelievable - these words simultaneously describe Sasha Baron Cohen's latest character and film, Bruno, the newest "mockumentary" from the man who redefined the word in 2006 with Borat.
5. Away We Go - See-it - From the director of American Beauty, Away We Go stars Jim from The Office and Maya from SNL in one of the most sincere films about the ups & downs of relationships of all time.
6. Humpday - See-it if you can - An unyielding comedy about masculinity, friendship and sexuality. Humpday will make even the macho-est men laugh and/or squirm into enlightenment.
7. Public Enemies - See-it - Depp plays Dillinger perfectly and Mann's Tommy-gun-blasting-vintage-car-chase action sequences are top notch (as expected), but Bale falls short with little to work with in this generally lacking dramatic story.
8. Moon - See-it if you can - Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey star in the relatively unknown film about an Astronaut living on the far side of the moon.
9. Death in Love - Rent-it - A riveting and fascinating horror/drama where "family, history and sexuality collide."
10. My Sister's Keeper - Rent-it - If you are in the mood for a heart-wrenching story about two young sisters facing some very grown-up decisions.
11. The Way We Get By - Rent-it - An unsettling and compassionate story about troop greeters, a group of senior citizens who gather at the airport to welcome back soldiers from the war.
12. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Rent-it - Like everyone has said and heard: It was super racist, raunchy, long and cheesy. But giant robots fighting to the "death" Michael-Bay-style is always totally rad.
13. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs - Skip-it - Unfortunately, this originally hilarious and adorable series about our near-Dinosaur and pre-human friends is nearing its extinction.
14. Homecoming - Skip-it - The OC's Mischa Barton returns in another completely contrived story about high school love and crazy childish jealousy.
15. I Love You, Beth Cooper - Skip-it - This film, like its star Hayden Panettiere, is the same formula for a teenage romantic comedy and poster girl you've seen a hundred times before. Beth Cooper lacks any originality and actually reinforces the stereotypes it attempts to exploit.
