Forgetting Sarah Marshall (Cinema)
 I can’t be the only one who thinks Knocked Up is over-rated. But if you like Knocked Up you’ll like this. Forgetting Sarah Marshall follows the same formula of a nerdy guy with really no positive qualities having a hot girl fall for him.

Hitman (DVD)
 Video games that find their way onto the big screen have spotted history at best. For every copy of Tomb Raider or Resident Evil on a DVD shelf, there is a DOA or Street Fighter in Blockbuster’s bargain bin.

Hamburger Hil 20th Anniversary Edition (DVD)
 For those as yet inexperienced in the brutal world of Hill 937, it should be noted that John Irvin’s film offers none of the A-list glamour found in Tigerland, nor has it remained in the mind of your average cinemagoer in the same way as Oliver Stone’s trilogy, or Coppola’s abstract masterpiece.

Step Up 2 the Streets (Cinema)
 If you watched 2006’s Step Up, you’ll pretty much know what to expect from its follow-up, Step Up 2 the Streets. Yup, you guessed it, this sequel is just as cheesy and cringe-worthy as the original, and just as much fun for fans of the genre.
