Now that people have grown weary of criticizing Valkyrie star Tom Cruise for his couch jumping antics and Scientologist rants and what they could mean for audience’s reaction to the film, they needed a new target.

The latest round of criticism is landing on the film’s director, Bryan Singer, for his decision to maintain Tom Cruise, Tom Wilkinson and Kenneth Branagh’s actual accents. Cruise is American while Wilkinson and Branagh are both British and they maintain they’re regional speech in the film, even though they play German characters.

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.

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!
