BATTLESHIP (USA 2012) ***
Directed by Peter Berg

It is odd to find the blockbuster co-produced by Hasbro the creator of the game BATTLESHIP when the film’s plot has nothing to do with the game.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING (USA 2012) *
Directed by Kirk Jones

Brit Kirk Jones broke into fame with the Irish comedy WAKING NED.  His latest comedy WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING deals with 5 couples having babies, Hollywood style.  Expect something very much in the vein of HAPPY NEW YEAR and VALENTINE’S DAY.

VIRGINIA (USA 2010) **
Directed by Dustin Lance Black

VIRGINA contains one very strong character named VIRGINIA.  Mentally a little unstable, she has to burden to take care of her son.  This complex character unfortunately has other problems on her hands like an affair with a sheriff who wants to run for governor.

THE SAMARITAN (USA 2012) ***
Directed by David Weaver

When a grifter lets his mark feels so comfortable that he thinks he is doing his con a favour, the grafter works like a Samaritan.  The title of this film is thus derived as ex-convict Foley (Samuel L. Jackson) is forced to do one last con.

THE DICTATOR (USA 2012) ****
Directed by Larry Charles

The story and plot HE DICTATOR is pure rubbish!  But as far as rubbish goes, this is the funniest rubbish to hit the screen this year.  Never mind the unfunny trailer.  But be forewarned!  Politically correct audiences should stay away.  But the film hits all groups from Jews (excusable because Cohen is one?), the Arabs, green environmentalists and especially women with smelly armpits.
