88 Minutes

Director: Jon Avnet
Stars: Al Pacino, Alicia Witt, Benjamin McKenzie (Full Cast)
Studio: Columbia Pictures

The Plot: A college professor (Pacino) who moonlights as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI receives a death threat telling him that he has only 88 minutes to live, causing him to scramble to stay alive while he tries to learn his potential assailant's identity.

THE BUZZ: We're thinking and hoping the reason this two-year-old project is finally getting a release is because director Jon Avnet and star Al Pacino's other new movie, Righteous Kill is as good as its buzz indicates. But all of our finger crossing might be for nothing, because despite this reliable premise -- and a cast that includes a bevy of lovelies and Ryan from The O.C. -- a quick census of those who have seen the film already says it's an exercise in formula and cliché.

The Forbidden Kingdom

Director: Rob Minkoff
Stars: Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michael Angarano (Full Cast)
Studio: Lionsgate

The Plot: A discovery made by a kung-fu obsessed American teen (Angarano) transports him back to ancient China, where he joins up with a band of martial-arts warriors in order to free an imprisoned king.

THE BUZZ: Jackie Chan and Jet Li unite for the first time for a kung-fu family comedy based on the Chinese legend of the Monkey King. A lot of people are asking who Michael Angarano is and why he was selected for the role (maybe the producers had foreknowledge of Shia LaBeouf's coming fame - he and Angarano look like brothers from the same mother); others are asking why Chan and the I'm-retired-from-kung-fu-films Li have come together for something so PG-13 (easy: both of them have officially cashed in on their global fame). Still, I think the trailer looks fun; a sort-of update on Time Bandits and The Karate Kid?

Pathology

Director: Marc Schoelermann
Stars: Alyssa Milano, Milo Ventimiglia, Keir O'Donnell (Full Cast)
Studio: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)

The Plot: A group of medical students devise a deadly game: to see which one of them can commit the perfect murder.

THE BUZZ: MGM's latest fear offering sounds like a mash-up of "CSI" and "Veronica Mars", which has been given a sicker twist by Neveldine and Taylor, the Crank creators who are buzzing right now with a few projects (their Game is in post-production, but the one getting more attention is Crank 2, with Jason Statham slated to return). Meanwhile, director Marc Schoelermann joins the ever-growing list of European directors who are willing to leave perfectly good careers behind in order to shill for Hollywood.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Director: Nicholas Stoller
Stars: Kristen Bell, Jason Segel, Paul Rudd (Full Cast)
Studio: Universal Pictures

The Plot: Peter (Segel) jets off to Hawaii for a vacation that is supposed to help him deal with his recent break-up with his TV star girlfriend, Sarah (Bell). Little does he know Sarah's traveling to the same resort as her ex ... and she's bringing along her new boyfriend.

THE BUZZ: The magical name of Judd Apatow hangs over this film, as the Knocked Up comedy guru is producing, with Apatow acolytes Nicholas Stoller (directing) and Jason Segel (writing and starring) on board. Who's Segel? He's the lovable lunk on the did-I-ever-watch-that-I-think-I-did-and-it-was-funny-I-think CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother." Most exciting, however, is the post-Veronica Mars appearance of Kristen Bell as famous girlfriend Sarah, leaving us all atwitter. Do you think she'll remember we used to be friends... a long time ago...?

Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? [limited]

Director: Morgan Spurlock
Stars: Morgan Spurlock (Full Cast)
Studio: Weinstein Company, The

The Plot: Morgan Spurlock tours the Middle East to discuss the war on terror with Arabic people.

THE BUZZ: For his next number, Morgan Spurlock teases us with a provocative title, but provides a radically different experience from the one for which we have prepared. Leaving his pregnant wife while she's in her final trimester (Dude!), Spurlock readies himself for the hunt (he gets his shots and immunizations, and even takes a survival training program) and then departs for Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and points elsewhere. If you haven't familiarized yourself with the ultimate mission that Spurlock undertakes, let's just say you might want to adjust your expectations before saddling up for some more of Morgan's hijinx.

The Life Before Her Eyes [limited]

Director: Vadim Perelman
Stars: Uma Thurman, Evan Rachel Wood, Eva Amurri (Full Cast)
Studio: Magnolia Pictures

The Plot: A two-tiered dramatic thriller centered on Diana (Thurman), a wife and mother whose idyllic life begins to fray as she recalls a tragic, 15-year-old event which claimed the life of her best friend Maureen (Amurri); running parallel to this story is another tale, that of the younger Diana (Wood), who is dealing with her strained relationship with Maureen, the tragedy itself, and the mystery behind the crime.

THE BUZZ: Formerly known as In Bloom, Vadim Perelman's follow up to House of Sand and Fog has bewildered and angered enough critics to possibly make all the drama worth your while, even if those who are familiar with the book say the mysteries and dramas of young Diana's life aren't tiered with any narrative skill or grace. So let's just state, without heading into spoiler territory, if you have seen 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, then you caught the "good" film about abortion and its effects on a female character.
