Plot: Willy Bank (Al Pacino) double-crosses Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) and that’s all Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) need to get the gang back together for another heist. Who’s it for: Anyone who liked “Ocean’s Eleven.”

Expectations: Just like everyone else, I didn’t think “Ocean’s Twelve” compared to the original (remake). So I figured director Steven Soderbergh and company would try to get it right this time.

SCORECARD

Actors:

Clooney/Pitt as Danny/Rusty: I am really only going to try and use the word “cool” only once this review. Clooney and Pitt are insanely cool. There, it’s done. Every scene where they banter over one another or talk about their women is just perfect. Grade: 9

Matt Damon as Linus Caldwell: Every group of friends needs one guy to pick on, and

Plot: It’s a one-night stand that has consequences. But luckily for us, the consequences are consistent laughter. Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) is a pot-smoking slacker who is the complete opposite of Allison Scott (Katherine Heigl), an up-and-coming E! Entertainment journalist. But when they get pregnant, both are willing to see if they can make it work in just nine short months. Who’s it for: It’s a great date movie: Men will be laughing along with the group of boys in the film and women will be properly rolling their eyes. It’s the perfect balance.

Expectations: If you’ve seen a preview, you know this is from the same director as “40 Year Old Virgin.” You know this because they mention it EVERY chance they get. Another thing about the preview … they

Plot: Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Kiera Knightly) and the very much alive Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) sail to uncharted territory in an attempt to rescue Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) while the Flying Dutchman continues to destroy anything the East India Trading Company wants.Who's it for: Pirate fans, but then again everyone saw the first two, so I won’t try and stop you from seeing this one.

Expectations: “Dead Man’s Chest” was a pretty big letdown for me. And once I saw the running of 2 hours and 50 minutes, I was prepared to remain disappointed.

SCORECARD

Actors: Johnny Depp as Captain Jack: He turned up the crazy and makes a fantastic entrance to the film after about 30 minutes. Captain Jack is beyond his zany self and is once

Plot: Shrek’s father-in-law falls ill, and Shrek is looked to as the heir to the throne. Only he doesn’t want it, so Shrek, Puss In Boots and Donkey set off to find Arthur, the only other possible heir. Meanwhile, Princess Fiona is left to defend the castle from Prince Charming. Who’s it for: Clearly it’s for everyone. “Shrek 2” is No. 3 on the all-time box office chart.

Expectations: I expected a short stay in the theater and some good laughs. With a movie like this the plot doesn’t matter if the jokes are flying.

SCORECARD

Actors:

Mike Myers as Shrek: Shrek still feels like an outcast, now because he’s expected to act like a king. Throw in future fatherhood and Shrek has enough to be frustrated with for the length of the film. But

Plot: Picking up where “28 Days Later” left off, 28 weeks have passed and Britain has been quarantined and destroyed. Now a family is trying to recover as American soldiers have secured the area … or have they? (They haven’t.) Who’s it for: Fans of the first one, which means you must like zombies, death and this time there are more guns thrown in.

Expectations: I expected to squirm. Zombies are scary, but zombies that can run faster than me are terrifying. Plus, the first film was just plain disgusting with a woman giving birth to a zombie. And yes, I know they are technically “infected” and not zombies, but still …

SCORECARD

Actors:

Robert Carlyle as Don: The film and Carlyle start off strong, with a very griping scene as Don attempts to

Plot: Tom (Zach Braff) moves his wife, Sofia (Amanda Peet), and new baby to Ohio, so he can work for his father-in-law and finally try to support his family. But he’s in for a headache when Sofia’s ex-boyfriend Chip (Jason Bateman) wheels in to steal the show and Sofia. Who’s it for: Perhaps expectant mothers thinking about giving up their day job, or people who think an ex might secretly be crazy.

Expectations: I’m a fan of almost everyone involved here. Plus, stories about a vengeful ex haven’t been done to death, so I figured there were some good laughs to be had.

SCORECARD

Actors:

Zach Braff as Tom: The first seasons of “Scrubs” are amazing, and “The Garden State” cemented Braff as a great newcomer … But “The Last Kiss” and now

Plot: Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) finally is comfortable with his life. He’s in love with Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), and all of New York loves Spider-Man. But an odd black substance falls from the sky and bonds to his Spider-Man suit. And Gwen Stacy develops a crush on Peter. Plus, the Sandman (Thomas Haden Church), Harry Osborn (James Franco) and Venom (Topher Grace) all want to see either Peter Parker or Spider-Man disappear. Who’s it for: It’s clear that the “Spider-Man” films appeal to everyone, but I would say the third installment leans more toward people who care about love-triangles.

Expectations: The first was good, the second was one of the best super-hero films ever, so using a highly technical scientific formula, I have concluded “Spider-Man 3” should be the greatest

Plot: A full-time gambler attempts to make a run at the World Series of Poker. Along the way, he gets eyes for a lounge singer (Drew Barrymore) and deals with his dad (Robert Duvall), who’s one of poker’s elites. Who’s it for: Still obsessed with poker? Then drag your girlfriend along, telling her that this film is a romantic comedy starring everyone’s favorite, Barrymore. But really, it’s just a poker flick.

Expectations: “Lucky You” has been completely done for more than two years. I have no idea why it took so long to make it to the big screen, but whenever a film is delayed, my Spidey-senses tingle. And now, it’s finally released, and it must contend with “Spider-Man 3.” Let me be the first to say “Lucky You” must not

Plot: Ten criminals on death row are sent to an island to fight to the death. It’s broadcast for the world to see, and the winner will be set free with a cash prize. Jack Conrad (Steve Austin) is a last-minute fill-in, and though he is reluctant, Conrad is forced to fight against Ewan McStarley (Vinnie Jones) and the others. Who’s it for: WWE fans who are ready to see “Stone Cold” Steve Austin make the leap from former wrestler to action star. Kids should not see this, especially for the cruel/violent treatment toward women.

Expectations: On paper, “The Condemned” sounds like the perfect action movie, but writer/director Scott Wiper doesn’t have a solid track record yet, plus Vince McMahon is a producer. So there were too many things to be

Plot: Women love falling for Carter Webb (Adam Brody). After a famous actress, Sophia (Elana Anaya), breaks up with him, Carter heads to Michigan, to take care of his ailing grandmother. Across the street he encounters Sarah (Meg Ryan) and a family of women. Through them, he attempts to figure himself out. Who's it for: Anyone who enjoys a coming-of-age drama with a little humor thrown in.

Expectations: I feel like it's been a decade since I've seen Meg Ryan in a film, so that interested me, but otherwise I didn't really have any expectations. My "O.C." watching consists of one episode about four years ago.

SCORECARD

Actors:

Adam Brody as Carter Webb: Brody delivers a light sarcasm throughout the film which I enjoyed. Carter is a writer who is stuck drafting soft-core

Plot: Peggy (Molly Shannon) is a friendly co-worker, aunt and most importantly, dog lover. When her dog Pencil suddenly dies, Peggy tries to find her place in a world she isn't socially comfortable in. Who's it for: Dog and animal lovers. Actually, that's not strong enough, you need to be obsessed. If you look at your pet and say, "Does mommy need to take you outside for a tee-tee," then this is your film. Also, Mike White wrote and directed this and it feels very similar to his other screenplays, "The Good Girl," and "Chuck & Buck."

SCORECARD

Actors:

Molly Shannon as Peggy: Shannon is reserved. She goes on a quiet, almost pointless rampage that doesn't do much to endear people to animal lovers and Peta volunteers. Shannon is partly sweet and partly

Plot: Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the best of the best. His arrest record is 400 percent higher than any other officer in London. He's so good, he's making the rest of the department look bad. Because of this, Angel is shipped off to the small, crime-free town of Sandford. There, he is partnered with Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), an over-eager cop dying for some action. Suddenly the town of Sandford has some mysterious accidents and Angel is convinced something is wrong. Who's it for: This is a comedy for action die-hards (pun intended). The film definitely earns its R rating, with the over-the-top bloody violence in the second half of the movie.

Expectations: I had no expectations when I saw their first film "Shaun of the Dead." But after that

Plot: There is a shake, meatball and box of French fries ... but you know them better as Master Shake, Meatwad and Frylock and together they are Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The TV show gets the big-screen makeover and the film explores the mysterious circumstances that brought these three together. A piece of exercise equipment, known as the Insanoflex, threatens to destroy the universe (I think). The Plutonians and the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past are joining forces to take control of the deadly device. Who will save the day? Who cares? Who’s it for: Only those that are rabid fans of the TV show on Adult Swim. And even some of them will be disappointed that the 15-minute TV show doesn’t translate to a full-length movie.

Expectations: I had never seen an

Plot: Disturbed ... Suburbia ... Get it? After a traumatic event, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) becomes withdrawn and eventually hits a teacher, getting three months of house arrest. While stuck at home, Kale begins to daydream about one neighbor and becomes suspicious of another. Who’s it for: This is mainly for the teenagers, but unlike other teen thrillers, I think this crosses over and adults will enjoy it as well.

Expectations: Zero. I’ll be honest, this was my fifth advance screening in five days. I knew Shia LaBeouf was in the film and that was it. I didn’t know the name or genre of the film ... and I think that helped. The first half of the film plays out more like “The Girl Next Door” and it sucked me in so
