I think we can safely say we have hit the spring slump considering this weekend in film is pretty abysmal. Best options being re-living Titanic in 3D (reference @saydella's And the Ship Sails On - a battle with herself if you should actually do this or not) or see Jim from American Pie have another dirty "mis-hap" with some inanimate object…and his child. The shining hope in this list of "eh" would be Comic-Con Episode IV – A Fan's Hope. But, I'm a sucker for all things Comic-Con, so I'm rooting for the little guy against the other mainstream shluck being released.

In Theaters

1. American Reunion

Reviews on this are about 50/50. Most likely you might hate yourself for thinking many of these jokes are funny, but then again it might be nice to visit with some old friends who will hopefully make this franchise somewhat funny again. I'm looking at you American Pie Presents: Book of Love.

2. Titanic

You know the story. You most likely already saw it. Big decision is if you want to see it in more dimensions than you did the first time (insert Kate Winslet boob joke here).

3. The Hunter

Filmed entirely in Tasmania the scenery and cinematography is sure to be stunning and epic. It's also hard to bet against Willem Dafoe in anything being anything less than great, and Rotten Tomatoes shows it as a solid fresh 75%.

4. Comic-Con: Episode IV - A Fan's Hope

A Morgan Spurlock documentary that Morgan Spurlock is not actually in. If you can't make the trek out to San Diego, perhaps this will provide you with a fun and charming look in to one of the strangest yet most exhilarating experiences I have ever had.

5. The Assault

A French film about the 1994 hijacking of Air France flight 8969. It is listed as a thriller, but sounds like a horror film to me.

6. Damsels in Distress

Suicide prevention using tap, as in tap dance. Yes, you read that right. If this actually works, it might be kind of charmingly brilliant. And, although I fear it is a small role, Maeby Funke is in it, so that wins.

7. We Have Pope

A religious film might be a good fit for many, as they celebrate Good Friday and Easter this weekend. This is a light film about the election of a man who doesn’t want to be the Pope and his interactions with a therapist that tries to help him through. Comedy ensues.

Not interested in anything coming out this weekend. I've got some TV to catch up on.

I am going to see American Reunion because four of the American Pie movies have been enjoyable.

The Hunter looks pretty cool. I hope it makes it to the UK!

THE RAID TONIGHT, BITCHES. 7:40 AFTER WORK, DOWNTOWN. BLADE RUNNE RCITY, WHOOOOOO.

Sorry.

*ahem* On another note, I love the quadruple entendre in your title. Pies and pie-fucking, and eating pies, but since a penis was in the pie, technically you're eating penis that also happens to be pie which you eat anyway and... nevermind.

Well Comic Con documentry looks interesting but all im interested in at teh moment is seeing THE RAID...it just needs to open up someplace thats well close to me first. The Assault trailer looked interesting but man the color was weird.

I'm waiting for next weekend so I can see The Three Stooges! It's also really nice to see this feature again. It's one of those features that makes this site great (well just about everything about this site makes it great).

I saw American Pie on Tuesday. It was pretty boring. But there were a ton of callbacks to the previous movies, if you're into that sort of thing.

So, mostly unrelated, but have we gotten a proper introduction to the new team anywhere? And if not, are we going to?

So far we've only received this right here, but it'd be nice to get some sort of podcast or something. Seriously, all you need is Audacity and a $5 mic to get that sort of content out there.

How can I trust their reviews if I don't know them???

None of these movies look good...I'll probably rent Comic-con from the redbox when it's on dvd.

"It's also hard to bet against Willem Dafoe in anything being anything than great"

He was in Boondock Saints, and that was pretty goddamn terrible.

They are still making American movies and releasing them in theaters?

He was brilliant in that movie. How dare you.

The Pie TASTED GREAT IN MY MOUTH THANK YOU VERY MUCH. But for real, it was a really funny movie especially if you grew up with the previous ones. They're like my generation's Animal House.
