Death At A Funeral (2007) [R]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $14.50
Review-lite: This hilarious comedy from Frank Oz will have you laughing from the opening of the casket revealing not the father of the family in question but some other poor chap delivered by mistake, to a surprising secret life of the dearly departed that sends his sons into a talespin. Featuring a great cast, brilliantly funny script, and a simple, no frills, non-high concept affair that allows the comedy to bubble up from within in an organic fashion making for one of the most amusing, original, and side-splitting comedies of the decade. Seek out Death at a Funeral because it won't be at every single multiplex like Superbad, but I guarantee you'll enjoy it will be worth the extra effort. (click for full details and complete review)

Resurrecting the Champ (2007) [PG-13]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $13.75
Review-lite: Introspection can be a painful thing. Struggling sports journalist, Erik Kernan (Josh Hartnett) must learn this the hard way as he is forced to confront his habit of projecting his own truth of the world on to the world only to find his world coming apart at the seams. Everything he knows gets turned upside down when a chance encounter with a homeless, former world heavyweight championship boxer, 'the Champ' (Samuel L. Jackson) comes into his life providing him with the story of the century or so he thinks and writes. He fails to uncover the true facts of his own story, however, before it is written and published plunging his personal and professional life into a tailspin. How will he recover the luminous reputation he once held in the eyes of his own son? Jackson delivers one of the best performances of his venerable career.

Beowulf (2007) [PG-13]-- W.I.P. Scale™ Rating: $13.25
Review-lite: Technically, visually, Beowulf leaps to the forefront of the technology allowing director Robert Zemeckis to directly translate his imagination of this epic action story with creatures, dragons, demons, and epic heroes into reality. The 3D technique allowed for a truly engaging engulfment into the world of Beowulf like no other has ever done before. (click for full details and complete review)
