Synopsis: A war re-erupts on Earth between two robotic clans, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, leaving the fate of mankind hanging in the balance.
Buzz: Say it with me, “Transformers! Robots in Disguise!” You know you like it… And if there is anything that Michael Bay is good at, it is blowing stuff up. This time he is teaming up with Stephen Spielberg (who isn’t too shabby when it comes to big event movies) to bring us huge, awesome robots trying to blow each other up. This one should have us all changing our collective underpants.

Synopsis: License to Wed follows newly engaged Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and his fianc©e, Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore), in their quest to live happily ever after. The problem is that Sadie’s family church, St. Augustine’s, is run by Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), who won’t bless Ben and Sadie’s union until they pass his patented, “foolproof†marriage-prep course. Consisting of outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some outright invasion of privacy, Reverend Frank’s rigorous curriculum puts Ben and Sadie’s relationship to the test.
Buzz: We love John Krasinski (The Office) and we can stand Mandy Moore as an actress, but this one hinges on Robin Williams and his floundering comedic career. Did anyone actually see RV? We hope not. Needless to say, the jury is still out on this one.
