Tony GilroyStarring:
Jeremy Renner,
Rachel Weisz,
Edward NortonA taut, razor-sharp action flick, much like the others in the series.
The Bourne Legacy is a reboot of the franchise as Jeremy Renner takes over as a new super agent on the run. He and Rachel Weisz make a compelling onscreen pair who recall the chemistry of
Matt Damon and
Franka Potente in the original
Bourne Identity.

Jay RoachStarring:
Will Ferrell,
Zach Galifianakis,
Jason Sudekis,
Dylan McDermottFerrell and Galifianakis are galactically stupid Congressional opponents in this political satire that does the right thing: It doesn't take itself seriously for a second. While not as great as
Anchorman, it's in the ballpark. Fans of the two funnymen will love it, women and everyone else probably won't.

David FrankelStarring:
Meryl Streep,
Tommy Lee Jones,
Steve CarellOpening to strong reviews,
Hope Springs finds Streep and Jones as a married couple who seek counseling to improve their relationship. Word is, it's much smarter than those dumbed-down, over the hill relationship movies like
Something's Gotta Give and
It's Complicated. Reviews should help, but only certain people are going to want to see this and my mom is one of them.

Julie DelpyStarring: Delpy,
Chris Rock,
Albert DelpyDelpy follows up her 2007 film
2 Days in Paris with a surprising sequel which travels across the pond to Manhattan. Marion (Delpy) and Mingus (Rock) have their world turned upside down when Marion's French relatives arrive for a visit. Delpy's films are simple, well-written, and make attempts at authenticity, which cannot be said for many indie romances. The presence of Rock should make things interesting. He and Delpy are the ultimate odd couple.

Spike LeeStarring:
Jules Brown,
Clark Peters,
Thomas Jefferson Byrd,
Toni LysaithSpike Lee returns to Brooklyn in his latest that follows a mohawked kid from Atlanta who spends a summer with his very religious grandfather. Lee has a role as "Mr. Mookie" so the tale must take place in the same universe as Lee's seminal
Do the Right Thing. If the trailer is any indication, Clark Peters (
The Wire, Treme) steals the show as the pious grandfather .
