Movies: Night at the Museum, Terminator Salvation

With Memorial Day Weekend upon us, many may feel like kicking back with a movie. Film critic Ed Symkus shares his thoughts on the movies coming out this weekend.

Night at the Museum 2 If you didn't see the first film, this one would not make all that much sense. It's filled with dialogue, but there is not much to talk about. Some of it is funny, and some of it falls flat. Young kids will be the only ones that truly appreciate this film.

Terminator Salvation A solid science-fiction film that fits into the spectrum of the other Terminator films. It ties some of the loose ends together. A lot of action. Christian Bale plays a one-note performance.

Brothers Bloom A quirky, elegant movie about con men. It's about young brothers who grow up to make a living out of conning people. A romantic, crime comedy is the best description. Good soundtrack.
