Whether you like action, horror, or chick-flicks, there’s something for everyone hitting theaters this week. Two major blockbusters have been released including the long awaited sequel Sex and the City 2, which brings Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) back to the big screen.
The other is Mike Newell’s action adventure, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, and Ben Kingsley.

This was rarely a problem when the films had wit and invention on their side, but a law of diminishing returns seems to be in effect.
