IN THEATERS*
CARS 2
(2011)
"Funny, clever, gorgeously rendered, massively entertaining and sure to be a hit with you and the kids." -- Rachel Hyland
GREEN LANTERN
(2011)
"Green Lantern mimics every single one of Thor’s problems. It is an origin story, but one that feels disgustingly incomplete." -- David Baldwin
SUPER 8
(2011)
"This is the best film of the summer thus far, and will be remembered well into the end of the year." -- David Baldwin
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
(2011)
"Without doubt the best comic book movie of the year -- nay, decade -- thus far." -- Rachel Hyland

MOVIE MARATHON
Our topic this month:
Impending Apocalypse
2012 (2009)"It fails in any real way to try and be more than just a disaster movie, and is entirely predictable." -- Rachel Day
ARMAGEDDON (1988)"How can you dislike a film when you have Steve Buscemi wearing shades in space shooting a mini-gun? Yes, I just wrote that sentence." -- Matt Layden
THE FIFTH ELEMENT
(1997)"It is clear that Besson and all the actors aren’t taking the movie too seriously and it is this general underlying sense of frivolity that makes it so much fun to watch." -- Brad Crammond
THE
OMEN
(1976)"While the film is not particularly scary now, it remains fairly tense. Just the idea of the devil being born again in the body of a child is more than terrifying enough, let alone the horrific death scenes." -- David Baldwin
WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE
(1951)"If a lifetime of watching sci-fi stuff has taught me anything, it is that forty people do not a viable gene pool make. But we'll let that pass." -- Rachel Hyland
Our topic next month: The Post-Apocalypse!
