Pick of the week: I Am Because We Are: Madonna goes to Malawi to adopt kids. And while she’s there, she shines a spotlight on one of the poorest countries in the world. That’s a good thing.
Revenge: A Russian boxer fights for his life and his woman while surrounded by hot babes. Sounds better than it is.
American Virgin: Only a really stupid movie would try to make some kind of female-empowerment statement against Girls Gone Wild in a movie where the only selling point is a ton of naked boobs.
The Riverman: The true(ish) story of the cop who consulted Ted Bundy while trying to capture the Green River Killer. The best actor in the film is Cary Elwes as…Ted Bundy. Need I say more?
