Talk about a powerhouse duo!

Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey arrived in Copenhagen on Wednesday to support Chicago for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The First Lady said:

"So happy to be here and I'm so excited. We have a lot of work to do. We're not taking anything for granted. I'm going to talk to some voters. Chicago is a wonderful host city, great people, great facilities. It knows about the sports and the hospitality is like no other and a city that works really well."

The International Olympic Committee will be making their decision tomorrow and it will be announced at 12:30 p.m. The other choice cities are: Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and Madrid.

The President is also flying overnight to Copenhagen to show his support.

Now, who is going to resist the power of the Os?

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
