THE MOVIE THAT HAS POTENTIAL BUT LOOKS CHEESY

Sukiyaki Western Django
Two connoisseurs of violence, prolific Japanese director Takashi Miike and American icon Quention Tarantino team up for this genre mash-up. Sukiyaki Western Django follows two clashing clans in Japan as they both try to lure a talented shooter to their side. Tarantino makes a brief appearance in this film that pays homage to both the spaghetti western and classic Japanese cinema. -©First Look Pictures

THE MOVIE THAT LOOKS INTERESTING BUT NOT THAT THRILLING

Traitor
Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash) and Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) star in Traitor, a taut international thriller set against a jigsaw puzzle of covert counter-espionage operations. -© Overture Films

THE MOVIE THAT WILL SUCK ASS

Babylon A.D.
Vin Diesel muscles his way from Eastern Europe to New York City in this post-apocalyptic thriller. The actor plays a mercenary who must take a package west in the midst of a crumbling world, but the package is more than it appears. -© 20th Century Fox Distribution
