New film choices: Polanski, cops & throbbers

Looking for a new movie to attend this weekend?

I've got some very good news, some extremely bad news and an escape to yet another zombie flick as cinematic choices.

Frankly, I don't care much for Roman Polanski, the person.  I'm not here to judge character, even when it comes to taking an international hike instead of facing justice for a late '70s charge of having sex with a minor.

I spend much of my time judging movies.  And, frankly, Polanski's "The Ghost Writer," starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan, is the most accomplished suspense-thriller I've enjoyed in many years.

If you like suspense, intrigue and a cat-and-mouse game with stunning results, don't miss "The Ghost Writer."  Click here for my full review.

"Cop Out," an extremely lame buddy cop action-comedy pairing Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, amounts to the bad news, even with Kevin ("Clerks") Smith directing.  Be afraid, be very afraid.  Click here for my review.

And zombie fans can get their undead-in-action fix with "The Crazies."  Click here to view the trailer.

Have fun at the movies this weekend.

And if you spend your hard-earned money on "Cop Out" despite my advice, don't say I didn't warn you.
