Invictus
This movie poster SUCKS. Can someone please explain why the incomparable Morgan Freeman's back is completely turned? He's playing Nelson-effing-Mandela. One of the most important leaders in modern history. And the poster manages to trivialize his role by depicting Freeman as half-hidden behind the smaller, forward-facing portrait of Matt Damon. Clint Eastwood, you're a Hollywood legend. You like to control every aspect of your films. Why the hell man? Oh yeah, the movie's about scrappy rugby team uniting a post-apartheid South Africa. We hear it's very good. But we're still mad about the poster.

The Princess and the Frog
We're jazzed about the New Orleans setting. And the jazz music. And the voodoo. And the crocodile. Our fondness for crocodiles is already on record. The first hand drawn animated feature from Disney since 2004 also features the company's very first black princess. It's about time on both counts.

Serious Moonlight
Cheryl Hines's directing debut looks like a giant flop. Tying up a cheating husband is far from original and we miss pre-surgery Meg Ryan. When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle Meg Ryan. Hell, we'd even take You've Got Mail Meg Ryan. It's sad to say, but by accepting roles in films like these, the formerly perky Ms. Ryan has rendered herself virtually irrelevant. Harsh, but true.

William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe
The radical defense attorney for the Chicago Seven gets his very own documentary courtesy of his daughters. Probably more interesting than a documentary about your dad, but less interesting than Invictus or The Princess and the Frog.
