There are some big hitters out this week for your viewing pleasure.
There’s a buddy-cop action comedy, a high-octane crime thriller, a chilling exorcism based horror and a film about someone buying a Zoo. The latter is the current front-runner for the much coveted “least imaginative film title of the year” award by the way.
Last week’s big releases John Carter and The Raven both opened to fairly mixed reviews, arguably slightly more weighted towards the negative in both cases. Will this week’s offerings fare any better?
Here’s what we think.
If you want to check to see if any of these films are playing near you, you can visit Find Any Film and they’ll be able to help.

Zeitgeist will release the acclaimed new documentary Bill Cunningham New York, about the noted New York Times photographer, on DVD on Sept. 13.
The photographer takes photographs in Bill Cunningham New York.
Directed by Richard Press, the film details Cunningham’s decades of photographic work for the Times’ Style section columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” Therein, he has chronicled fashion trends emerging from Manhattan’s streets and soirees – apparently, the man gets invited to all of them!
Featuring lots and lots of snapshots and interviews with many of Cunningham’s frequent photographic subjects, including Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, socialite Brooke Astor, author Tom Wolfe and philanthropist Annette de la Renta (wife of Oscar), the movie is a lot of fun and must-see viewing for those who want to get the ultimate fly-on-the-wall experience.
Already one of the year’s highest grossing documentaries, with an estimated box office revenue of $1.3 million,...

Bill Cunningham is an unlikely subject for a documentary since like most photographers, he'd much rather be doing the documenting. As a staple of the Sunday New York Times Style section, Cunningham has been responsible for illustrating society high and low with the "Evening Hours" and "On the Street" columns that cover the entire strata of fashion in the city. And beyond the fact that it apparently took director Richard Press a decade to convince the notoriously private Cunningham to serve as the basis for a film, while the city and its denizens have changed dramatically in the half-century Cunningham has taken pictures, the photographer has not.
Outfitted in the same blue jacket he picked up decades ago and on his 29th Schwinn bike (since he's had 28 stolen from him over the years), Cunningham glides effortlessly down 5th Avenue from his apartment right above Carnegie Hall, forsaking the luxury of...
