Jupiter Ascending
Directed By: Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski Starring: Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw
I always look forward to films from Lana and Andy Wachowski. Whether they succeed or fail, they always put forth one hell of a production.

Third Person
Directed By: Paul Haggis Starring: Liam Neeson, Milan Kunis, Adrien Brody, Olivia Wilde, James Franco, Moran Atias, Maria Bello, and Kim Basinger

Last week's Seeking a Friend for the End of the Worldwas decent. In May, The Dictator was just okay. Tim Burton's Dark Shadows brought the freaks to help kick off the summer, but not the laughs.

Friends with Benefits
Directed By: Will Gluck
Starring: Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis
The romantic comedies keep coming this summer. Most of them lack originality and style. Some even lack genuine romance or comedy. Nowadays, they're just counter-programming to big blockbusters like Harry Potter and Transformers. Will Gluck's Friends with Benefitsis another one of these unoriginal, unfunny romantic comedies. The romance between Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis is there, but the laughs a... Continue reading ...
