In theaters this weekend

Source Code: This new thriller stars Jake Gylenhaal--NEXT!

Hop: I hear this one's pretty bad, but really, I'm stunned it's taken so long for Hollywood to produce a major motion picture for kids that is designed to cash in on the Easter movie season--er, to celebrate the secular traditions of Easter.

Cat Run: Let me quote from the synopsis from Yahoo Movies:
the childhood best friends decide to start a detective agency. Unfortunately for them, on their first case they must help protect a sexy, high class escort who holds the key evidence to a scandalous cover up.

Let's hear it for the magical world of the movies, where every "escort" is a sexy, high-class one. Of course, if it were a grittier movie, one not starring Paz Vega, I suppose the character would just be a hooker.

Insidious: I know next to nothing about this horror film starring Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, but doesn't it have one of the coolest one-word titles ever?

Trust: Clive Owen and Catherine Keener play the parents of a 14-year-old girl who is victimized by an Internet predator. David Schwimmer directs, and the fact that I'm really creeped out by the idea of Schwimmer detailing the themes of this particular movie is probably a good sign he's better off behind the camera for a while yet.

Super: Rainn Wilson puts on a costume and calls himself a superhero, with Ellen Page as a sidekick of sorts. Isn't this sort of like "Kick-Ass," but meant to be funny? But isn't "Kick-Ass" meant to be funny? I'm confused. I could use the relative simplicity of a horror movie about an innocuous inanimate object come to life with evil intentions.

Rubber: A movie about a used tire that comes to life and sets out on a destructive rampage. No, I won't pay for this, but, by cracky, I hope it comes to Netflix streaming someday.
