What’s opening Friday, July 11?

Hellboy II: The Golden Army: Regardless of the movie’s merits (which I hear are considerable), I have to ask: WHY on earth is Universal releasing this a week before The Dark Knight, which is going to kick its butt next weekend? This would have had a better chance to succeed in the spring, which was deadly dull this year. I will review the movie tomorrow, if all goes as planned.

Journey to the Center of the Earth: The ads make it look fairly innocuous. Word has it the many 3D effects are snazzy, but there’s not much else.

Meet Dave: … and wonder if Eddie Murphy will ever be funny again.

The Cool Films series plays Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, widely acclaimed as Marilyn Monroe’s funniest movie - after Some Like It Hot, of course.
