Fancy sitting with a bunch of strangers in the dark? Atta boy! Here’s what’s on the big screen release as of today:

This week’s top pick is ‘World’s Greatest Dad’ and you’ll see it if you’re smart, you like to laugh and you think Bobcat Goldthwait is on his way to becoming a major auteur comedies that are bleak, profound and funny yet with terrible cinematography. Robin Williams plays a father whose son’s death has unexpected ramifications. I can’t say much more or I’ll ruin the film for you. See it. See it. See it.

It’s a great date movie, ‘Eat Pray Love’, even if it is getting slammed everywhere, but this feelgood foodie film says some good stuff in a light way. Based on the bestseller by Elizabeth Gilbert, Julia Roberts stars as the divorcee who travels around the world learning to eat, pray and love all over again. There’s a LOT of eating in this film – and you will have to eat pasta either before or after you see this. Honestly, if you don’t expect perfection, this is a perfectly good film that says a lot about living. Javier Bardem is wonderful, of course, but so is Richard Jenkins as Roberts’ pray-mate.

Policier anyone? ‘The Town’ is Ben Affleck‘s second directoral outing and is doing very well thank you very much. This respectable heist flick’s set in Boston and stars Affleck himself Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively and Chris Cooper. Pete Postlethwaite really hams up his role as Fergus ‘Fergie’ Colm. Watch the trailer here.

Fantastic docco ‘The Wildest Dream’ is a spiffy National Geographic production about finding George Mallory’s frozen body on Mount Everest 75 years after his death. Narrated by Liam Neeson with his late wife Natasha Richardson voicing Ruth Mallory. Watch the trailer here.
