"The Forbidden Kingdom"

War, ha, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing! If you read that as Jackie Chan sang it in "Rush Hour" you understand why I've got some manlove for the king of stunt fighting. Sure his movies are cheesy, but the man does his own stunts and has talked Chris Tucker out of retirement three times. Jet Li, on the other hand, starred in "Hero" and faced off against Riggs in "Lethal Weapon 4," but other than those has just had a bunch of kung fu movies that could've starred Steven Segal. In "The Forbidden Kingdom," a modern teenager picks up a magical weapon and is transported back in time. Li and Chan's characters have to train the American kid to fight, while fighting a rivalry of their own. It's rated PG-13 and is playing at Regal Movieland 7, Regal Lancaster Mall Stadium 11, and Independence Cinema.

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall"

You've probably heard about the full frontal male nudity in this one. And yes, the penis makes an appearance on a number of occasions, but there's a whole lot more to the flick. Jason Segel stars in this romantic comedy about moving on from a former, hot, girlfriend who is played by Kristen Bell. They've been calling it a "disaster romantic comedy". For a full review see `Forgetting Sarah Marshall' brings Apatow alum together again. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is rated R and is playing at Regal Movieland 7, Regal Lancaster Mall Stadium 11, and Independence Cinema.

"88 Minutes"

Who's up for some Al Pacino-patented screaming? This movie wrapped filming in December 2005 and is just now hitting theatres. That's usually a bad sign for a film, even with a superstar like Pacino in the starring role. Pacino plays a college professor and part-time FBI forensic psychiatrist for the FBI. He receives a death threat and has to figure out who is behind it. The catch? His murder is scheduled in 88 minutes. "88 Minutes" is rated R and is playing at Regal Santiam 11.

"EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed"

Bueller? Bueller? Ben Stein investigates the scientists behind the Intelligent Design movement. Stein asserts that we're living in a world in which Darwin reigns supreme and that these scientists are being pushed into the shadows about their theories of Intelligent Design.
