In Hot Fuzz, the Shaun of the Dead guys blow up a quaint English town. Plus: Hopkins vs. Gosling.

In 28 Weeks Later, zombies spell trouble. But so do the Americans who’ve come to wipe them out. Plus: L’Iceberg, a frozen treat.

The grand, sad, only slightly made-up life of Edith Piaf. Plus: Fido, another reason to love zombies.

The stag party that is Ocean’s 13 scores by rarely leaving the casino. Plus: Penguins! Surfing! Hooray!

Knocked Up is a knockout, until it outstays its optimal running time. Plus: The sweet insanity of Crazy Love.

William Friedkin’s Bug is a creepy-crawly drama of the highest order (thanks in large part to Ashley Judd).
