Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
In this dark tale of sex, drugs, and crime director Werner Herzog and Cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger craft a dark portrait of post-Katrina New Orleans. Apparently, Herzog has also forced Nicolas Cage to go back to actual acting. Too bad he's opposite Eva Mendes, who never even started.

Fantastic Mr. Fox
Wes Anderson animated a classic Roald Dahl story and cast the vocal talents of George Clooney as the title sly fox. Kudos to the king of quirky indies for such a smart move.

Ninja Assassin
A shadowy movie about a violent ninja assassin. Self-explanitory. Frankly, if you want fight scenes we'd recommend John Woo's Red Cliff instead.

Old Dogs
John Travolta and Robin Williams are once again dragged into the land of middle-aged movie suck (e.g. Wild Hogs and License to Wed). Note to Hollywood: either start giving these two talented actors scripts that don't stink all over the theater or just wait a decade or so and cast them in a Grumpy Old Men remake. The tagline for Old Dogs is "Sit. Stay. Play Dad." Our tagline is "Sit. Stay. Far. Away."

Red Cliff
Red Cliff is the most expensive Asian-financed film ever made. And who else would be trusted with that distinction but John Woo? We're a bit skeptical that what was a 2 part, 4 hour-plus historical epic has been condensed into mere 2-1/2 hours for ADD American audiences, but ultimately, we have faith in Woo's abilities to express war as visual poetry.

The Road
Our own Miss Bee tweeted, and we quote, "The Road is THE MOST FUCKING FUCKED UP MOVIE EVER." Therefore we tell you now: don't see this movie if you can't stomach graphic cannibalism. If you're not sure you can handle it, perhaps you should read the Pulitzer Prize winning post-apocalyptic novel first. Just to be sure.
