Margaret’s Trailer Park: Submarine
Brought to us from The Weinstein Company with Ben Stiller as an executive producer we have Submarine, the story of a British boy who desperately wants to be the protagonist of his own story. Based on a novel, Submarine looks to be an appealing, quirky, weird teenage romance and a look at everyday life in this strange yet intriguing coming of age story.
I can’t speak for the rest of the world, but...

In Theaters: May 20th
There’s only one big release this week, so the guess as to who will be picking what is pretty easy. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides brings back Capain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) and his foil Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a new adventure designed to carry on the legacy of Jack while separating him from the train wreck of the last two Pirates movies. As if that idea wasn’t enough,...

Margaret’s Trailer Park: Real Steel
If you’re like me, you may have noticed a distinct lack of Hugh Jackman in film lately. Regardless of what anyone may think or feel about Wolverine or the third X-men movie, in my opinion we need Jackman in Hollywood to sort through the bad scripts and bring to light real excellence. That being said, I happily clicked my way to the trailer for Real Steel when I saw Hugh’s face in the picture.

Rafe’s Rant: Romance a Weak Point for Super-Hero Movies
Critics pretty universally liked the first super-hero movie of the summer, with Thor getting good buzz from most websites. More than one tossed around the phrase “Marvel Studio’s best picture to date,” which I’m not sure I agree with, but it’s a darn good movie. The characters are strong, Branagh brings good depth with his direction, and the story is entertaining with enough action thrown...

In Theaters: May 13th
Only during the summer season can we go from the God of Thunder to a dystopian vampire killing priest in the blink of an eye, or the time period of a week. This week continues the attempts at blockbusters but expect the success this weekend to come from a surprising area: not from action, but from laughter (and I don’t mean the laughter that comes from reading the bad Priest reviews either).
