Review Revue: Tropic Thunder, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Clone Wars and Mirrors

Which new releases are Certified Fresh, certainly rotten, and weren't screened for critics?

There are a whopping four wide releases to choose from this weekend, so how will you decide what to watch? Let the Tomatometer be your guide, that’s how! See if critics are going fresh or rotten on the jungle comedy Tropic Thunder, Woody Allen‘s Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the CGI animation Clone Wars, and Kiefer Sutherland‘s ghost thriller Mirrors.

Ben Stiller‘s Tropic Thunder is Certified Fresh and full of take-no-prisoners laughs, but it’s also courting controversy over its blackfaced Robert Downey Jr. and a jab at the mentally challenged. Woody Allen‘s latest could be the best in a string of hot and cold films, and the George Lucas-produced Clone Wars is looking like the kind of Star Wars movie only fanboys could love. The ghost thriller Mirrors wasn’t even screened for critics! Watch this week’s Review Revue for the skinny on all four films!


Check back next week for another packed slate: Death Race, The Rocker, The House Bunny, and The Longshots!
