Long known as Limp Bizkit’s Woodstock-riot starting, smack-talking, Britney Spears-loving front man, Fred Durst’s presence in the film industry is growing with the release of his directorial debut, The Education of Charlie Banks, which follows Charlie Banks (Jesse Eisenberg) from childhood to college where his pristine Ivy League existence is shattered by the arrival of Mick Leary (Jason Ritter), the neighborhood thug he’s lived his life in both fear and awe of.

Once upon a time, there was an eleven year old girl who became the first female quarterback to not only compete in an all-male league but to lead her team to the Super Bowl.

Just a bedtime story? Nope. That’d what Jasmine Plummer did when she became the first female player on a Pop Warner football team. Her story inspired The Longshots, a delightfully heartfelt family film starring Ice Cube and Keke Palmer that opens today.

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!

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.

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.

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!
