It's no great stretch to imagine the chiseled, hot-footed hottie Channing Tatum as a stripper. It's how he got his start in show business, after all. And even though he never danced for his dollars, Matthew McConaughey has never been shy about shedding a shirt on the big screen.
A teddy bear who smokes pot, parties with hookers, beds pop stars and spews profanity in a New England accent as thick as chowdah? Such a creature could only come from the blissfully twisted mind of "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, confidently making his feature directing debut with "Ted." If you love his animated TV show, you'll probably love this movie.
"People Like Us" is a well-acted weeper that walks an unsteady line between the emotional and the darkly comical. It's about a guy who realizes he has a half sister and who injects himself into her life without explaining who he is. He befriends her kid, encourages her through substance-abuse recovery and sets up to help her financially.
"Madea's Witness Protection": Actor-director Tyler Perry returns with his comic signature character. This time out, Madea finds herself playing host to a Wall Street investment banker who has landed in trouble. Rated PG-13 for crude sexual remarks and drug references. Midnight screenings tonight.

Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki gets a little silly in tackling the deadly serious topic of religious tensions in the Middle East in "Where Do We Go Now?"

A president fighting vampires? That's not real. A giant meteor hurtling toward Earth? No reality there, either. A meeting between Oprah and the Kardashians? Now that's really happening. Here's a look at what's on the horizon and who's having a moment.
Treating men as eye candy isn't a reality just for "Magic Mike." Although the trend isn't exactly prevalent, it's apparent across the entertainment and media spectrum.

"Lola Versus" is a conventionally unconventional romance in the modern mode, a comedy alternating between cute and crude and packing a heaping helping of self-affirmation into its 84 minutes.
