In Theaters: June 18th

Take a look at some of what hits theaters this weekend.

Opening in wide release:

Director: Lee Unkrich
Stars: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack
Rated: G

The long-awaited and highly-anticipated third installment of Toy Story finally arrives. Woody, Buzz, and the rest of our favorite toys get dumped off at a day care center as all-grown-up Andy packs for college. Now the toys must escape from the sticky fingers of the toddlers at the day care and find their way back to Andy.




Director: Jimmy Hayward
Stars: Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox
Rated: PG-13

In this film based on a comic book, the U.S. Military gives bounty hunter Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) a bargain: in exchange for freedom from warrants against him, he must find a terrorist (John Malkovich) who plans to unleash Hell on earth (like any good evil nemesis).




Opening in limited release:

Director: Luca Guadagnino
Stars: Tilda Swinton, Flavio Parenti
Rated: R

Director: Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass
Stars: John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei
Rated: R

Director: Agnes Jaoui
Stars: Jean-Pierre Bacri, Jamel Debbouze, Agnes Jaoui
Not Rated

Of course, having actually been a child when the first Toy Story came out, I'm probably more excited to see Toy Story 3 than most children today. I'll be skipping Jonah Hex, though. Megan Fox's horrible accent seems grating, and her acting seems flat. Not to mention the plot itself doesn't much appeal to me.

What are you looking forward to seeing?
