G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Critics are giving
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra good reviews saying it's a "deliriously overloaded, effects-driven, bubble-headed extravaganza designed to leave your eyes spinning from one too many camera-shaking explosions."

NERDY ROMANTIC COMEDY OF THE WEEK
Paper Heart
Charlyne Yi does not believe in love. Or so she says.

Then, shortly after filming begins, Charlyne meets a boy after her own heart: Michael Cera. As their relationship develops on camera, her pursuit to discover the nature of love takes on a fresh new urgency. Charlyne risks losing the person she finds closest to her heart.
Critics are giving
Paper Heart good reviews, saying the comedy "explores love and relationships from a strikingly original angle."
WORTH A LOOK
Cold Souls
Critics are giving
Cold Souls great reviews, saying the comedy "explores our inability and refusal to 'look inside' and really try to understand our unconscious."
Paul Giamatti stars as himself, agonizing over his interpretation of "Uncle Vanya." Paralyzed by anxiety, he stumbles upon a solution via a New Yorker article about a high-tech company promising to alleviate suffering by extracting souls. Giamatti enlists their service -- only to discover that his soul is the shape and size of a chickpea. His intention is to reinstate it once he survives the performance but complications ensue when a mysterious, soul-trafficking "mule" borrows Giamatti's stored soul for an ambitious, but unfortunately talentless, Russian soap-opera actress.
