Paper Heart: The jury is still out on this little-seen independent film, but fellow-blogger Danielle raved about it after seeing it this past October. For those of us who will be seeing Paper Heart for the first time on DVD, we can expect Michael Cera to be "awkward" and "uncomfortable" in all sorts of adorable ways.

Terminator Salvation: The fourth installment in this sci-fi franchise; with a budget of $200 million, an intense leading man, and an army of CGI Terminators. Christian Bale and Sam Worthington attempt to out-grimace each other. The results: unintentionally hilarious.
