Not sure which new movie to see in theaters this week? Take my advice and either see-it, rent-it, skip-it, or wait-for-it to become available on HBO, Starz, or Netflix instant queue. Some films are in limited release, so see-it if you can. See #1 first then work your way down the list. Here are the ten best movies playing in the majority of theaters around the nation as of Friday, March 18, 2011.
| 1. | The Adjustment Bureau - See-it - Is Matt Damon married? Because if so, he might be having an affair with Emily Blunt. These two stars light the screen on fire and their burning chemistry is reason enough to see this film about politics, life and love and whether or not we control our own destiny. |
| 2. | Rango - See-it - Johnny Depp truly is Rango, a pet chameleon accidentally stranded in the Nevada desert, and just like Depp, Rango is charming, smart, creative, beautiful, and definitely not for kids! Though it definitely is an early front-runner for Best Animated Picture in 2011. |
| 3. | Certified Copy - See-it if you can - Juliette Binoche may earn herself an Oscar nomination for provocative performance in this playful drama about a man and woman pretending to married and how that affects their recently acquainted relationship. |
| 4. | Win Win - See-it if you can - New This Week - Paul Giamatti is a struggling attorney who volunteers as high-school wrestling coach in a film that manages to turn familiar situations into a fresh and funny comedy. |
| 5. | Nostalgia for the Light - See-it if you can - New This Week - An overwhelmingly stunning documentary about a world 10,000 feet above sea level to the driest place on earth where astronomers stand inches above 19th-century prisoners' remains and millions of light years below a blanket of stars. |
| 6. | The Lincoln Lawyer - See-it - New This Week - Early reviews had the world buzzing about Matthew McConaughey's return to the courtroom (A Time to Kill), however, recently, the buzz has turned into a low hum as The Lincoln Lawyer fails to offer a single twist on the predictable formula. |
| 7. | Paul - Rent-it - New This Week - This sci-fi comedy about an alien who needs a ride across the country is not nearly as clever as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, but Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's latest creation does serve up some intergalactic entertainment and is at times hysterical - "at times." |
| 8. | Limitless - Wait-for-it - New This Week - Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) is his usual charismatic self in this film about a pill that allows you to tap into your full potential - unfortunately, the screenwriter needs a dose of his own medicine. |
| 9. | Cedar Rapids - Rent-it - Finally, an R-rated comedy that isn't overly raunchy! Cedar Rapids stars a perfectly conventional comedic cast performing a pleasantly clever script. |
| 10. | Jane Eyre - Rent-it - Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) may earn herself an Oscar in her portrayal of Jane Eyre, a governess for a wealthy man who has made her life, until now, completely drab and dreary. |
