The entire last week has seen much of Hollywood's movers and shakers in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival, and so this was another slow news week, and more than that, it was also one of the most "Rotten Idea" filled weeks this column has ever seen. Given that the lead story is the Academy Awards, that's really saying something, too. The stories that did make the cut include a sequel for The Last Exorcism, two other movies involving ghosts or the supernatural, and new roles for Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Selena Gomez, Ryan Reynolds, Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon.
While the world of filmdom trains its sights on the Sundance Film Festival this week, there are plenty of diversions in multiplexes for those of us who couldn't make the trek to Park City. We've got a snowy survival story (The Grey, starring Liam Neeson and Dermot Mulroney), a twisty heist thriller (Man on a Ledge, starring Sam Worthington and Elizabeth Banks), and the tale of a sassy bounty hunter (One For the Money, starring Katherine Heigl and Jason O'Mara). (Incidentally, the latter two films are being released, respectively, by Lions Gate and its recently acquired subsidiary, Summit Entertainment). Find out what the critics have to say!

From supporting parts to leading roles, from action to comedy to drama, Harris has done just about everything -- and done it well. The Tomatometer agrees, giving us a top 10 that bottoms out at an impressive 87 percent. Which of your favorites made the cut? It's time to find out, Total Recall style!
