Well, turns out I was more busy last week than I had anticipated, so it looks like you guys are going to get stuck with another standard review from me. August has been turning out to be a pretty weak month of movies. Not necessarily by quality, but by quantity – and I want both! Regardless, here’s what made the cut this weekend.
