Push: Insert cliche here

Terri Schwartz
Don’t expect this movie to change your life. It won’t. But “Push” properly balanced how to take itself seriously without taking itself too seriously. Its jokes are funny and its fight scenes are outlandish and it has its fair share of moments where you ask yourself, “Did they really just do that?”

New In Town is old news

Emma Rose Johnson
In the right hands, this actually could have been a decent film. Instead it's an abrasive and unpleasant treatise on the joys of being blue collar; the film version of a "You know you're from the Midwest if..." skit by Jeff Foxworthy.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

Bridget Walsh
All in all "Rise of the Lycans" is not a bad movie. In fact it's perfect for what it is: a cheesy vampire flick. Go in there expecting chain mail, bad visuals and some cheesy lines and you'll be all set. If you go in there hoping for the next amazing fantasy movie, you'll be sorely disappointed. And "Twilight" fans, just stay away from this one altogether. Nighy is too much vampire for you to handle.

Che: A chronicle of the man

Emma Rose Johnson
"Che", the new biopic directed by Steven Soderbergh is a tight, mostly well-executed history of Guevara (played by Benicio Del Toro), his role in overthrowing the Batista regime in Cuba, and work in Bolivia. But it's also a riveting look at the work and business of being a revolutionary.
