Wow, what a terrible week. We’ve been pretty spoiled lately, especially with September usually being a dumping ground, that I guess we were due for a complete stinker of a week. The limited release Stone might be good but that’s about it.

How do these movies stack up against some of the best films of all time?

Life as We Know It – PG-13 – watch the trailer ►

Life as We Know It movie reviews and rankings

Easily the worst movie poster of 2010 so far. Yes even worse than that Yogi Bear poster…

Planning to see this movie, or already have? Directly rank it against these similar movies to see where it ranks for you amongst the most romantic movies of all time:

My Soul to Take – R – watch the trailer ►

My Soul to Take movie reviews and rankings

I made it about half-way through the trailer thinking this could actually be cool. It looked like a movie about somebody who actually stole souls not people’s lives, so it would at least be interesting. Then the trailer had to go and reveal it’s just a silly serial killer slasher we’ve seen 100 times before.

Planning to see this movie, or already have? Directly rank it against these similar movies to see where it ranks for you amongst the most slasher movies of all time:

Secretariat – PG – watch the trailer ►

Secretariat movie reviews and rankings

The Good: Diane Lane and John Malkovich. The Bad: Disney horse movie. Not sure which side will win out.

New Video Releases for the Week of April 13, 2010

13, Apr 2010

We picked a pretty lousy two week stretch to open this column with. Last week’s biggest release did $1.7 million at the US box office and this week’s hit $8 million. By all accounts Bad Lieutenant and Pirate Radio (aka The Boat That Rocked) are good movies, they just aren’t that sexy to kick a column off with (well, aside from stars Eva Mendes and January Jones).

So, here are this week’s new DVD, Blu-ray, and Netflix Instant Watch titles. Each film will include their Flickchart global statistics (when available), as well as three direct links to rank the title against similar movies (one good, one average and one bad) to help nail down where the movie belongs on your chart.
