Madonna, who we always love seeing in films (that's a joke), is getting ready to direct her own film (we wish that was a joke).

The film will feature two stories. The first is a historical love story about the Duke and Dutchess of Windsor, and the other is about a modern couple.

Guns, gangsters and Guy Ritchie: three G’s that guarantee a good time.

After Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, you know to expect when you buy a ticket to a Guy Ritchie film (if we politely ignore that whole Swept Away debacle) and he doesn’t disappoint. RocknRolla is a flashy, violent, hard driving dive into an unexpected seedy side of London: the real estate market and its many denizens trying to get rich quick by any means necessary.

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!
