Spider-Man 3 is a virtual lock to top the weekend box office for the second week in a row. Nevertheless, a few brave little movies have volunteered to take on the Spidey juggernaut.
Here's a rundown of our reviews of this week's new releases. Anybody else notice a pattern?
28 Weeks Later 
"...more or less a conventional big-budget action film, albeit one featuring flesh-eating zombies. It's all about guns and explosions and elaborately set-pieces." [Full Review]
Georgia Rule
"As overtly Hallmark-schmoopy as Marshall's and Andrews' work can sometimes be, I still tend to like it....for all its flaws, the story is still interesting and watchable." [Full Review]
The Ex
"Is The Ex the most amazing comedy I have ever seen? Well, no. But I'll tell you, I had fun watching it." [Full Review]
Some of you may believe the 6-6-6 pattern merely denotes a trio of mediocre new releases, but I prefer to interpret it as a signal that the Dark Lord is assembling his minions in preparation for his final assault on the people of Earth.
But hey, that's just me.
Also opening this week: Delta Farce, Home of the Brave and The Salon.
