Body: American Teen is an interesting documentary following a group of kids as they go through their senior year of high school. It doesn't get too in depth on any of the four main kids, but gives enough that I remembered why I'm glad high school is over. Intercut with the teens interviews and clips of them in their daily activities, are cartoons symbolizing their hopes and fears. I enjoyed the movie, but I didn't love it. Some of the scenes felt too scripted to be a real documentary.Hamlet 2 has several laugh-out-loud moments, most of which come at the expense of Steve Coogan ("Tropic Thunder")'s pride. Coogan stars as a failed writer/actor who now teaches high school drama and must write a great play to save the program from cancellation. No cows are sacred in this movie and that mostly adds to the humor. Sometimes, though, it's too over the top. A funny movie, but not the year's best comedy.I was really entertained by Kung-Fu Panda. Jack Black ("Tropic Thunder") voices the title character, a dreaming, over-weight panda who is inexplicably chosen to be a kung-fu hero. The film has a good message, if you believe in yourself, you can do anything. And the animation is really good.Revolutionary Road seemed to get the most press for reuniting Kate Winslet ("The Reader") and Leonardo DiCaprio ("Body of Lies"). They play a married couple in the 50s who realize that their dreams no longer coincide. This is a really depressing movie. The acting is mostly good, except when DiCaprio starts channeling Jack Nicholson for no reason. And just when the film has dragged you down so far, Michael Shannon ("Before the Devil Knows Your Dead") busts in for some much needed shock and humor. It's worth seeing. Just take some anti-depressants first.Now, Hotel for Dogs, on the other hand, is a super cute story of two orphans who start a home for stray dogs. Pretty much just like the title implies. I thought the story was sweet. But my husband said it was dreadful and that my pregnancy hormones were influencing my reviewing skills. I told him that he better get used to this kind of thing. Because once we have a kid, we're going to be seeing a lot more movies like this.

Body: [quote user="spout"] 5. Hotel for Dogs -- Watch the trailer. When orphaned teenagers aren't allowed to take in a stray dog because their aunt (Lisa Kudrow) is allergic, they transform a nearby abandoned house into a canine sanctuary. Hmm... I don't know about this one. I like dogs, but I typically don't watch live action movies about human beings. What do you think about this one? [/quote] Are you just checking to see if people are actually reading this? You should really try to check out some of those live action human being movies. There are a few good ones out there.

Body: 1. My Bloody Valentine 3-D -- Watch the trailer. If you see this opening night, you'll probably overhear a discussion that goes something like this: SON: Wow Dad, I've never experienced so much sex and violence before! FATHER: Now, Son--you know you're just watching a moving picture and not actually participating in sex and violence, don't you? SON: What do you mean? The sex and violence has to be real, it's in 3-D! FATHER: Plenty of sex and violence is in 3-D, Son, but that doesn't mean you are doing it. SON: (Smacks forehead) I'm so silly. I'm glad you're my Dad, Dad. Want some popcorn? (He holds out popcorn, which then falls to the floor) ...Dad? (The father is just a character in My Bloody Valentine 3-D. And so are you.) 2. Notorious -- Watch the trailer. Word is, the talent on-screen is better than the talent behind the camera. Critics are saying the newcomer Jamal Woolard really impresses as Notorious B.I.G. 3. Defiance -- Watch the trailer. Finally opening wide! Some critics are saying it's a letdown, but I'm still looking forward to it. I always enjoy watching Daniel Craig, and it looks like an important story to tell. 4. Paul Blart: Mall Cop -- Watch the trailer. When power-made Santa's little helpers take over a mall, a rent-a-cop (Kevin James) is the last, best hope of freeing the hostages. It reminds me of Die Hard meets Home Alone. I don't know, it could grow old fast or be really, really funny. 5. Hotel for Dogs -- Watch the trailer.

Chandni Chowk to China (limited release) -- Watch the trailer. Arguably the most Indian film of the week, this film is actually from India. But in all seriousness, this Bollywood/kung-fu flick sounds interesting. When Chinese villagers mistake a traveling Indian cook as the reincarnation of an ancient peasant hero, the cook decides to help protect the village from a dangerous smuggler.
