FILM: 3/30 New Releases

By now 300 should be put to bed. But apart from the surefire shenanigans of Blades of Glory, there isn't much to kick TMNT out of the top spot...except for maybe its bad reviews. There seems to be a consensus that the "real" life turtles were better than the animated/CGIed ones. Maybe they should've mixed the two like they did with Spiderman. This weekend there's something for everyone, from the kids to the dorks to the mystery lovers.

BLADES OF GLORY

We all know that once Will Ferrell is hired for any job, whether it be an anchorman or a race car driver, he will completely destroy the profession's credibility. Ice skaters beware. Joining him is the consistently doofy John Heder, the pervy Will Arnett ("Arrested Development"), and the snarky Amy Poehler ("SNL"). Expect a lot of pratfalls, gay jokes, and straight up weirdness in this comedy.


THE LOOKOUT

I know. I know. Joseph Gordon Levitt is a respectable indie actor who's earned his street cred, so going to see this movie to gawk at him would be inappropriate and immature. I'm of course, going to do it anyway. Oh, the plot. Right. He plays a former athlete who gets amnesia after a horrible accident and is somehow tricked into helping a bunch of hooligans rob the bank he works at. Isla Fisher, Borat's baby mama, and Matthew Goode (Chasing Liberty) are his costars. But let's be honest, we'll barely notice their presence.


MEET THE ROBINSONS


Take a trip to the future with Lewis and watch him find the perfect family. Of course, villains always make cartoon flicks more enjoyable and—not missing a beat—their goons are bumbling fools who keep the laughs coming. Keep your eyes on the "scary" T-Rex.
