Swing Vote
"Swing Vote" is guilty of being the same thing that so many political candidates accuse each other of being: a flip-flopper.
The story of a presidential election that hinges on the vote of one guy does have its moments of hilarity. It works best when the two contenders are one-upping each other, contradicting themselves and their parties in saying whatever it takes to win over this one average Joe.

Step Brothers
Really? Can this ‘really’ be a film?
Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) and Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) become stepbrothers when their respective mother, Nancy (Mary Steenburgen), and father, Robert (Richard Jenkins), marry. However, the comic act revolves around the fact that these two guys are in their 40s—and still living at home.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe
As “The X-Files: I Want to Believe” opens, you find that Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have put their lives in the FBI firmly behind them. Formerly the top team on cases that concerned unexplained phenomena, from the paranormal to the extraterrestrial, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) have been lying low after an unceremonious break with the bureau.

Space Chimps
One small step for man, one giant leap for chimp-kind -- or so the saying should have gone.
Written by Kirk De Micco and Robert Moreland, this animated summer flick may not make it to the moon. It has good intentions, but it is far from being ‘out-of-this-world.’ With five talking chimps, a lot of space equipment and technical-sounding terms, a geek-squad of three humans, and a corporate-driven senator, what could go wrong?

Mamma Mia!
“See that girl, watch that scene, diggin’ the dancing queen.” Meryl Streep takes on that latter title in the film adaptation of the ABBA-based musical “Mamma Mia!” which sings and dances its way into a box office near you this summer with a star-studded cast that genuinely appears to have had a blast putting the movie together.

The Dark Knight
If the much-anticipated The Dark Knight doesn’t knock the socks off audiences, it won’t be because the film’s director, cast, cinematographer, costume and set designers, its two Oscar-winning composers, etc., didn’t produce a cinematic feast.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
Its 3D effects aside, the new big-screen adaptation of Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth unreels like a Hollywood adventure film made many decades ago.

Meet Dave
"Meet Dave." Or don't. Eddie Murphy doesn't particularly seem to care one way or the other.
Essentially phoning in the broad, family friendly shtick that has become his trademark over the past decade, Murphy stars as both a human-sized spaceship that has landed on Earth and its itty-bitty captain, who is at the controls from inside the ship's head.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army
The cult comic book turned cult DVD hit “Hellboy” blasts its way into the box office with its sequel, “The Golden Army,” this July. If you aren't familiar with Hellboy, allow me to introduce you. Hellboy is not your average super hero.
Found by the Americans during World War II, he's half man, half demon. He enjoys long walks in the park (just because it would be against the rules) and has a strong affection for things like TV, candy bars, kitty cats, cigars and beer.
