The Sci-Fi thriller Gamer opens today along with two new comedies, All About Steve and Extract.

Only two major releases this week and their both geared toward making you scream.

This weekend’s box office has Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds suppressing not only Nazis but the competition as well. This witty revenge flick with Brad Pitt managed to steal District 9′s thunder with over $37 million for the weekend.

Shorts Finally a children’s movie that everyone can enjoy. Shorts has a story and script that is cute, charming and overwhelmingly funny enough to suit anyone. This movie seems to get kids completely and even reminds parents of what it is like to be a kid. The story follows that an 11 year old boy [...]

District 9 and the Time Traveler’s Wife open as some of the best movies of the year. There is one for the guys and one for the ladies, but both of them should be watched by all.

It is a bit surprising that the kids get no new releases this week, as they flock to the theaters in summer, but they are left with a slew of other choices Harry Potter, G-Force, Aliens in the Attic and Ice Age, are all still in threaters for kids to get away from the heat. For the adults, we’ve got something for the ladies, something for the action junkies, and something if you’re into suspense.

Funny People I think is going to take a lot of people by surprise, because it’s more than a comedy and when it changes it never goes the direction you expect. The good thing about this movie is that it seems real, it doesn’t make the assumption that incredible situations turn people into self-sacrificing, perfect individuals, which to me is incredibly intriguing.

In the Loop stars Peter Capaldi, James Gandolfini and Tim Hollander, and tells about the interactions of Britain and the U.S. over the thought of going to war.Critics and moviegoers alike have hailed this movie as being among the freshest films we’ll see this summer, and I could not agree more.

It probably comes as no surprise that what is arguably the greatest movie franchise in history has scared away any all competition with its Wednesday release. Don’t expect any big names or big movies this week, so if you’re not a Potter fan, or you were one of the thousands lined up for the midnight showing, you may be a little disappointed with what this weekend has to offer.
