SHOOTER
Stars: Mark Wahlberg, Michael Peña, Rhona Mitra The Plot: A marksman (Wahlberg) living in exile is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president. Ultimately double-crossed and framed for the attempt, he goes on the run to track the real killer and find out who exactly set him up, and why. Side Note - Sadly, Marky Mark does not assemble the "funky bunch" to help clear his name. Just a solo mission on this one. :(
TMNT
The latest version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Back in all their CG splendor. The film has been getting some good buzz, and sure to be every 10 year old boy's favorite movie of the season, and mine.
REIGN OVER ME
Stars: Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Jada Pinkett Smith The Plot: Emotionally shut off after losing his wife and daughters on 9/11, Charlie Fineman (Sandler) runs into his old college buddy, Alan Johnson (Cheadle). Rekindling the friendship is the one thing that appears able to help Charlie begin to wrestle with his grief. Side note - This movie also proves that Sandler can do a great look-a-like for a Bob Dylan bio-pic, in my opinion.
THE HILLS HAVE EYES II
Stars: Daniella Alonso, Jacob Vargas, Michael Bailey Smith The Plot: Still a bad idea and a sadistic-twisted story. A group of National Guard trainees are attacked by mutants during a training mission in the New Mexico desert. So, bring the kids and scar them for life. This one's sure to be a instant family favorite!

This may be the busiest movie week in a long time that just features no movies I can get excited about ... I may go see "Shooter" or that Terrence Howard pic "Pride," or I might just have to take the weekend off
I do agree Mr. Fanatic. Lots of movies, but low amounts of caring, this week.
Such is the sad fate of most of Jan-March trying to tide us over from Oscar Season to Blockbuster Season.
If I see something this weekend, it'll probably be Shooter. I only wish it had some tie-in with the character "Shooter McGavin" from Happy Gilmore :(
