The Race to Witch Mountain - (32% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) Pick of the Week
Disney restarts their beloved Witch Mountain franchise with this family-friendly adventure. Dwayne "Previous The Rock" Johnson stars as a taxi driver who gets more than get bargained for when he picks up two teen runaways. Not only does the pair possess supernatural powers, but they're also trying desperately to escape people who have made them their targets. Critical consensus tells us despite the best efforts of a talented cast, Race to Witch Mountain is a tepid reboot that lacks the magic of the original. But eff that, it looks like it might be a fun ride, and it's easy to get drunk off the fumes of what The Rock is cooking.

Last House On The Left - (43% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)
The night she arrives at the remote Collingwood lakehouse, Mari (Sara Paxton) and her friend are kidnapped by a prison escapee and his crew. Terrified and left for dead, Mari's only hope is to make it back to parents John and Emma (Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter). Unfortunately, her attackers unknowingly seek shelter at the one place she could be safe. And when her family learns the horrifying story, they will make three strangers curse the day they came to The Last House on the Left. Critics are saying the remake is excessive and gory, and lacks the intellectual punch of the 1972 original.
Miss March - (14% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes)
Miss March tells the story of a young man who awakens from a four-year coma to hear that his once virginal high-school sweetheart has since become a naked centerfold in Playboy Magazine. He and his sex-crazed best friend decide to take a cross- country road trip in order to crash a party at the magazine’s legendary headquarters and win back the girl. Critics are saying it's pretty much just offensive, retarded, and narratively weak.
