Wait just a minute here...how can a movie called "88 Minutes" actually run 108 minutes?! Doesn't that violate some kind of truth in advertising rule? Then again, considering the dire advanced word about this long-on-the-shelf thriller, it makes sense that the studio would feel the need to fool people in order to get them into them into the theater. Al Pacino stars as a criminology professor who regularly lends his skills to the FBI. Now one particular case has come back to haunt him in the form of a mysterious voice on the other end of the telephone that casually informs him he's been marked for death. Alicia Witt, Benjamin McKenzie and Leelee Sobieski also appear in the film along with Pacino's ex-"Heat" co-star. No, not De Niro...Amy Brennemen.

Kung fu fans have been waiting for years to see Jet Li and Jackie Chan square off onscreen. It's a shame that this momentous event is wasted in such a bland, poorly made film. Directed by Rob Minkoff, whose previous credits include "The Haunted Mansion" and "Stuart Little," "The Forbidden Kingdom" follows a young martial arts fan (Michael Angarano) who is magically transported to a mystical land courtesy of a magical staff. There, he teams up with a drunken fighter (Chan) and a silent monk (Li) to free the Monkey King from the clutches of an evil warlord. When not shamelessly ripping off "Star Wars" and "The Lord of the Rings," "Kingdom" manages to stage a few fun fight scenes, but count this as one of 2008's biggest missed opportunities.

"Freaks and Geeks" veteran Jason Segel becomes the latest Judd Apatow disciple to write and act in his own Apatow-produced vehicle. The talented Mr. Segel plays Peter, a musician who dates one of the hottest young stars in Hollywood, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). But when Sarah ditches him for a British rocker (the hilarious Russell Brand), Peter heads off to Hawaii to lick his wounds. But wouldn't you know it? He ends up staying at the same romantic getaway as his ex and her new beau. Good thing the hot receptionist (Mila Kunis) has a thing for broken-hearted losers. Cliches aside, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is a very funny comedy that fits neatly into the Apatow canon. And based on the puppet musical Segel pens here, he's the perfect choice to bring the "Muppets" back to the big screen.

Medical school is intense enough to drive most students close to insanity, but few actually go over the edge. Except, of course, in movies like "Flatliners" and this oft-delayed thriller, which casts Milo Ventimiglia as one of several med students who enter an extracurricular experiment to see who can pull off the perfect murder. Alyssa Milano co-stars.
