Fantastic Four is a super-fun summer movie with stupid plot holes, but it's myth, so roll with it. The Human Torch was hot even before his powers. Also: a clamped car trailing sparks being chased by police, jumpy Londoners, and a message to terrorists: you've only made me late for work.

Sexy, fun, and surprisingly cliche-free despite being both an action movie and a romantic comedy. Brad is hot, Angelina is hotter, and the whole thing feels deliciously naughty. Two thumbs up for pure fun.

Good popcorn movie with excellent gothic effects and surprisingly decent acting and dialogue. The plot is predictable and fumbles its climax, but the dark mythology is nicely fleshed out and there are some genuinely giggle-worthy moments. Go in with low expectations.

Ignore the terrible reviews. Van Helsing is a gloriously over-the-top monster movie that never pretends to be anything else. Great effects, genuine surprises, good acting (mostly), intentional and unintentional humor, and obscure B-movie references. Leave realism at the door and you'll love it.
