Remember playing paper, scissors, rock in first grade and throwing out rock, only to have some ankle biter scream typhoon and giggle like a sorority chick after two Cosmos and an eighth of mushrooms? Well, that ADHD-ridden tool box grew up and made a movie, and surprise surprise its an annoying befuddlement of confusion, which doesnt even bother conforming to its own rules.

God and Satan duke it out for the soul of a young girl in "The Haunting of Molly Hartley," an unexpectedly cynical addition to the teen-scream genre.

"Pride and Glory" is a competent enough crime film, but it brings nothing new to the crime film table. Some decent performances let it keep its head above water, but that's all it has going for it.

"Zack and Miri Make a Porno" might not be the most groundbreaking comedy, even for Kevin Smith, but seeing his sensibilities paired with a better than usual cast does offer enough new twists to keep it from being "just another Kevin Smith comedy."

"Frost/Nixon" was supposed to be Peter Morgan's escape from movies. Then came the film directors.

H. G. Wells predicted it in 1898. But for Hollywood, 1951 was the year that the saucers landed in "The Day the Earth Stood Still." A remake is set for this holiday season.
