'28 Days Later' When it first arrived in theaters back in 2003, Danny Boyle's “28 Days Later” single-handedly made the walking undead cool again. Now we return to a ravaged England, six months after much of the population was transformed into flesh-eating, limb-tearing creatures thanks to the mysterious “Rage” virus. Under the watchful eye of the U.S. military, the citizens that managed to get away are slowly returning. But is the threat completely gone? Well, if the answer were yes, there wouldn't be a movie now, would there? 1 hr. 31 mins. Watch the trailer. 'Delta Farce' Fans of Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (all three of you) will be thrilled to hear that everyone's favorite cable person has another movie coming out that's bound to be just as dumb and politically incorrect as the last one. This time around, Larry, Bill Engvall and DJ Qualls play three buddies who mistakenly enlist in the army and are immediately shipped off to Iraq. En route to the Middle East though, they wind up being air-dropped over Mexico and proceed to wage war against a village warlord. Sounds like a movie only the White House could love. 1 hr. 40 mins. Watch the trailer. ‘Georgia Rule' Perhaps best known as the movie that Lindsay Lohan was almost fired from for bad behavior, “Georgia Rule” typecasts the red-headed Paris Hilton as a pain-in-the-rear teenager whose mother (Felicity Huffman) drags her off to the Southwest to spend a summer with her no-nonsense grandma, Georgia (Jane Fonda). Once there, La Lohan strikes up a flirtation with a local hunk, while her mom runs into an old flame (Dermot Mulroney). Could we just watch two hours of Barbarella kicking the crap out of this particular mean girl? 1 hr. 53 mins. Watch the trailer. Real-life BFF's Zach Braff and Jason Bateman star as bitter enemies in this comedy that's had its release date pushed back a few times and had its title changed. (In January, it was calling itself “Fast Track.”) Braff plays a husband and expectant father, who agrees to leave New York for his wife's Ohio hometown to pay for their bundle of joy. Securing a job at his father-in-law's company, he immediately clashes with his wheelchair-bound co-worker Chip (Bateman), who once had a thing for Sofia. The rivalry quickly turns into an all out war. “Garden State” seems like a long time ago, doesn't it? 1 hr. 33 mins. Watch the trailer.
