James Cameron Teaches Filmmaking

Happy Birthday to Me! Today is my 27th birthday and, as what has become a tradition, I will celebrate it my heading to a movie. My pick this year is the new Seth Rogen comedy opening today Observe and Report. It is also (barely) the best reviewed wide release of the week with a 55% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

For the tween girls, this week also sees the release of Hannah Monana: The Movie, which currently has a 40% Fresh rating.

Rounding things off is the anime adaptation Dragonball: Evolution, which is getting worst reviews with a 21% Fresh rating, proving that anime doesn’t really translate well to live-action.

And that’s this weekend in movies.
