| Top 10 Reviews . The Expendables The Expendables is a hard-hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things arent quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers. . Vampires Suck A spoof of vampire-themed movies, where teenager Becca finds herself torn between two boys. As she and her friends wrestle with a number of different dramas, everything comes to a head at their prom. . The Other Guys NYPD Detectives Christopher Danson and P.K. are the baddest and most beloved cops in New York City. They don’t get tattoos – other men get tattoos of them. Two desks over and one back, sit Detectives Allen Gamble and Terry Hoitz. You’ve seen them in the background of photos of Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They’re not heroes – they’re the Other Guys. But every cop has his or her day and soon Gamble and Hoitz stumble into a seemingly innocuous case no other detective wants to touch that could turn into New York City’s biggest crime. It’s the opportunity of their lives, but do these guys have the right stuff? . Nanny McPhee Returns In Nanny McPhee Returns, Oscar®-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she’s needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world. In the latest installment, Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother, Mrs. Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. But once she’s arrived, Nanny McPhee discovers that Mrs. Green’s children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in and refuse to leave. Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant who turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons. Robin HoodAfter one glimpse at the trailer where a bloodied, disheveled-looking Russell Crowe takes devil-eyed aim through his bow and arrow, you already know that this is not the Robin Hood that Bryan Adams swoons to. Ridley Scott’s much-anticipated adaptation of the medieval criminal is not going to vilify the folk hero as was reported back when the movie was still called Nottingham. But the new movie looks epic, like Gladiator-epic, giving the Prince of Thieves a grittier polish and a conceivable historical background. And you know you can’t go wrong with the accomplished Cate Blanchett filling in Maid Marian’s wardrobe. Let’s just hope the studio doesn’t make the director hack an hour off the movie like they did with Kingdom of Heaven, because in that case we might as well wait for yet another Ridley Scott director’s cut. InceptionWe know next to nothing about the closely guarded plot of Inception, but we'll bank on this Leonardo DiCaprio vehicle anyway. It’s a sci-fi detective story that takes place within “the architecture of the mind” and it’s directed by Christopher Nolan, he who gave The Dark Knight box-office wings and gave us one of the best psychological thrillers in decades with Memento. Inception promises blackmail, corporate malfeasance and some Matrix-style ass kicking, and with Nolan behind the camera we’re betting it can’t go wrong.
