Synopsis: John McClane takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization who is systematically shutting down the United States.
Buzz: It’s been 12 years since we last saw John McClane on the silver screen. But just as Sly Stallone proved with Rocky Balboa last year, there is no such thing as too old for a fan favorite. Live Free or Die Hard will get pounded by fans for its PG-13 rating, but that won’t stop it from banking big at the box office. In fact, it may just help it.
Ratatouille
Running Time: 110 min.
Rated: G

Synopsis: A young rat living within the walls of a famous Paris bistro wishes to become a chef, but is hindered by his family’s skepticism and the rat-despising staff and patrons.
Buzz: When it comes to animation, Brad Bird is the man. He was the genius behind The Incredibles, a film heralded as one of the greatest accomplishments in all of animated cinema. With a very solid cast and some equally as impressive animation, Ratatouille may just follow suit.
Sicko
Running Time: 113 min.
Rated: PG-13 for brief strong language.
Directed by: Michael Moore

Synopsis: A documentary comparing the highly profitable American health care industry to other nations, and HMO horror stories.
Buzz: Love him or hate him, but Michael Moore is never boring. His most controversial project to date, Sicko takes on the failing Health Care system in the United States. And whether you agree with his perspective or not, you know you can’t help but watch anyway.
