New To Theatres This Weekend: The Other Guys, Step Up 3-D, Middle Men

Posted by on August 6th, 2010   Filed under: New Releases

Will Ferrell returns to theatres this weekend with The Other Guys, hoping for a hit that will erase memories of Land of the Lost from people’s minds. It’s likely to be a tight race between that and Inception for the box office crown, although with Step Up 3-D also out this weekend, they both could end up getting served. In select theatres, there are all kinds of alternatives including Middle Men (the internet porn comedy starring Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi), Lebanon (the war movie that takes place entirely inside a tank), and Twelve (Joel Schumacher’s latest crapterpiece). Also out this weekend is The Oxford Murders starring Elijah Wood, The Disappearance of Alice Creed starring Gemma Arterton, and Rob Reiner’s Flipped. What will you be checking out this weekend?



  • Land of the Lost was for me one of Ferrell’s best movies, I don’t know what it is exactly but it cracks me up on every repeat viewing. That scene where he pours the urine over his head to mask his scent is just priceless. Perhaps it’s just one of those things where you are the only person in the world who likes a particular movie but I just can’t understand why everybody rips on it so hard. Looking forward to this but it does look a little more standard fare, like a funnier cop out

    Today is a rare day… I have seen not one, but TWO films on their opening day… and I proclaim them both AWESOME.

    Seriously, Sean. Go see “Step Up 3D” … it’s so much fun. And “The Other Guys” was brilliant, too.
