• Feeling Ripped-Off at the Movies Lately?       

  Well then let this handy rant guide steer you clear of the dog days of summer. The movies at your local theater may suck, but the better choices are out there. You just have to look a little harder for them.

  Don't let Mr. Bean take you for a ride! That's a Death Sentence. Halloween doesn't come in August. Your brother Jim is funnier than the Brothers Solomon. The only Fury you'll feel from these Balls is the one brought on by your lighter wallet. The Invasion came and no one noticed. It's less of a War and more of a snore.

  Bring on the Dog Days of the movie season!

• By the Numbers: Reviews of this Weekend's New Releases

  Several new movies are lining up this weekend to try and knock Superbad from its perch atop the box office rankings. Do any of them have what it takes to stop the latest Judd Apatow juggernaut?

  A rundown of our reviews of this weekend's new releases:  

  The Nanny Diaries  
  "Stalled out in mediocre-land...unless you're a fan of the book, I'd say it's a rental." [Full Review]

   

  Resurrecting the Champ 
  "Nothing can wrench this movie from the grip of a saccharine, formulaic script full of plattitudes and divided allegiances."  [Full Review]

   

  Illegal Tender 
  "If you've ever wondered what would happen if Martin Scorsese remade Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, this movie is for you."  [Full Review] 

   

  The Hottest State 
  "Perfectly fine indie fare, but the plot and the characters seem a little more self-indulgently autobiographical than compelling."  [Full Review]

   

  Also opening this weekend: War, Mr. Bean's Holiday, September Dawn, Right at Your Door.
