Is it worth $10? No
With visual effects as advanced as they are today, making a cool werewolf movie is incredibly difficult. Simply put, we’ve seen all this before, and we’ve seen it with animals/monsters that are more badass and intimidating than a werewolf. And so the challenge is to bring originality and intrigue to the story, but there’s nothing interesting about “The Wolfman,” which is dark and gloomy and sad.

Huge cast. Huge expectations. Huge disappointment. “Valentine’s Day” is a Hallmark movie for a Hallmark holiday, made for the sole purpose of capitalizing on one weekend’s box office receipts. The star power is considerable, but this disappointing, sappy movie about a corporate-created holiday is as heartfelt as giving plastic flowers to a loved one.

“From Paris With Love” goes from the utterly ridiculous to the absurd, but it’s done with a sense of gleeful fun that makes it thoroughly enjoyable. Sure, the story is all over the place and complete nonsense, but darn if John Travolta and the action don’t make the movie work.

Weepy tearjerker movies can be a tough watch, especially for guys who lack the patience or inclination to indulge in melodrama. I do my best to not be one of those guys, and because of that I can say that “Dear John” was viewed with an open mind and an open heart. And it still wasn’t very good.

Beth isn't necessarily bad at love, but love is bad with her. Flustered with her younger sister (Alexis Dziena) getting married in Rome, career girl New Yorker Beth (Kristen Bell) enters a Roman fountain of love and takes a handful of coins, believing she's sparing those who desire love from inevitable heartache.

Tom Craven no longer gives a damn. His daughter – his world – is gone, and as we’ve learned in “Death Wish” and “Taken,” vigilante heroes will break any law and bear any burden for the pleasure of revenge. That “Edge of Darkness” gets us to care about Tom, and root for him through decent action scenes and a suspenseful storyline, is our pleasure.

Is it worth $10? Yes
In the surprisingly effective “Extraordinary Measures,” two action movie stars face an insurmountable foe, and just about every step they take is met with resistance and difficulty. For Harrison Ford (“Indiana Jones”) and Brendan Fraser (“The Mummy”), this is nothing new. But what is new is the villain, which is more deadly and dangerous than any they’ve ever faced.
