My Best Friend's Girl

Release Date - Sept. 19

Rank: 1



The plot: When guys get dumped, they hire Tank (Dane Cook) to get the girls running back to their boyfriends by taking them on the worst date of their lives. However, when Tank tries to help out his friend Dustin (Jason Biggs), he finds himself falling for his best friend's girl (Kate Hudson).

Behind the scenes : The only thing funny about this movie will be Dane Cook's complete (and accurate) bashing of the film's promotional poster. From "Employee of the Month" to "Good Luck Chuck," Cook's track record with movies has been appalling. A word of advice, Cook: stick with the stand-up.



W.

Release Date - Oct. 17

Rank: 2



The plot: A "biography" about the life of our 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.

Behind the scenes : This might just be one of the funniest movies of the year and I'm not sure it's meant to be. I mean come on…Bush binge drinking, chasing tail, and driving drunk? That's hilarious. Oliver Stone is taking the gloves off on this "accurate" portrayal of Bush's life.



Saw V

Release Date - Oct .24

Rank: 4



The plot: Detective Hoffman, the last person alive to carry on Jigsaw's legacy, must eliminate all loose ends when his secret is threatened.

Behind the scenes : I've been hooked on the "Saw" franchise since the first mind-blowing twist. And despite the fact that each installment hasn't been as good as the first, I'm a loyal fan that'll stick with the ups and downs. Go see it for the intense gore and violence that'll make you squirm in your seat, but stay for the big surprise ending. If it's Halloween, it must be "Saw."



Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Release Date - Oct. 31

Rank: 5



The plot: To get themselves out of debt, best friends Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) make an X-rated film and start seeing their relationship in a different light.

Behind the scenes : There's been a lot of buzz about this movie already. It successfully appealed the MPAA 's original NC -17 rating to get an R-rating instead, but they struck back by banning one of the film's promotional posters in the U.S. due to its "suggestive" imagery. There's no denying we have another Kevin Smith classic in the making. It promises to be the funniest and raunchiest romantic-comedy of the year.



Quantum of Solace

Release Date - Nov. 14

Rank: 5



The plot: A direct follow-up to 2006's "Casino Royale" that follows James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a mission of revenge to uncover the mysterious organization that blackmailed the woman he loved, Vesper.

Behind the scenes : I've never been a big 007 fan until I saw "Casino Royale," a complete reinvention of the Bond franchise equivalent to what "Batman Begins" did for the Caped Crusader. "Quantum of Solace" is my most anticipated movie for the fall (now that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has been pushed back to July 17, 2009). It has a compelling storyline, great acting and eye-popping action. I'm confident my high expectations will be met and this movie will not disappoint.
