'Year One'

Jack Black and Michael Cera, what you see is what you get. Black will be like he was in, well pretty much everything. Cera will be like he was in, well pretty much everything.

These aren't two of the most versatile actors but that won't hinder their ability to be funny. "Year One" should be one of the funnier films within the past few months especially with Paul Rudd, David Cross and Hank Azaria. They are just plain hilarious.



'Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen'

If you loved 'Transformers,' (and let's face it, who didn't?), you'll have to love 'Transformers 2.'

We still have Shia LaBeouf, who is amazing. We still have Megan Fox, who is hot.

The CGI in these films are epic. The storyline is mediocre. But who needs one of those with a film like this?



'Public Enemies'

Can we get an applause for Johnny Depp? He is finally, once again, doing justice to his acting capabilities. He can do deep, amazing work. We haven't seen that in a while though. All we've seen lately is characters.

Don't get me wrong, he's always great. But it will be nice to see him play a realistic character again. I don't think I can endure another "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."



'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'

I don't care what anybody says. The "Ice Age" movies are some of the best movies ever made.

They are so damn cute and funny at the same time I just can't contain myself.

"Dawn of the Dinosaurs" probably won't be as good as the others, they are kind of beating them into the ground, but it will still be enjoyable.



'Bruno'

Did you like "Borat?"

If "no" then don't see "Bruno." It's most likely going to be as offensive, if not more than, "Borat." Just don't put yourself through that.

If "yes" then by all means see "Bruno."

Sacha Baron Cohen is so incredibly offensive, yet funny, it's unbelievable. This movie will be unlike any other movie (sans "Borat").

Any man that can marry Isla Fisher is OK with me. Cohen, you're OK with me.



'G.I. Joe'

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (the kid with long hair from "Third Rock From the Sun") is Cobra Commander. Enough said. Don't dwell on the fact that Channing Tatum is G.I. Joe. That is crap. But let's just hope Gordon-Levitt can save the film.

This movie is the dream of every kid from the '90s. The movie may suck, but it's a "sucky" movie everyone should see. Channing Tatum, you are the devil.



'Taking Woodstock'

Apparently he can act. I read an interview a while back saying his comedic abilities transferred well to film.

I'm not sure I believe it but with Emile Hirsch, Liev Schreiber (who plays a transvestite), Paul Dano and other great actors in the movie it has to be decent.

Ang Lee is taking a step away from the "Brokeback Mountain" type of film to direct this film.



'Inglourious Basterds'

Does there need to be any more of a build-up for this movie? I mean come on, it's called "Inglorious Basterds."

Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Brad Pitt as the leader of "The Basterds" who are going through Nazi-occupied France scalping and brutally killing Nazis.

It's going to be bloody and brilliant, some may even say bloody brilliant.
