Regina's Picks of the Week
Anthony Weiner's Leaked X-Rated Photo Adds Pressure for Resignation added by letsliveinpeace
The Anthony Weiner scandal has been hard on everyone. ...pun intended... From his leaked photos to the report that his wife is pregnant, it doesn't seem like he's going to find a way out of this mess. The whole situation has become sad and embarrassing for the randy Congressman. Some of you believe he should retain his office since he technically didn't have an affair, while others can't believe he didn't resign immediately. We'll have to wait and see what kind of news pops up. ;)
X Men: First Class Reviewed by Rotten Tomatoes
Summer has arrived, which means sequels, sequels, and more sequels!! Last weekend, I checked out my first summer blockbuster of the season: 'X Men: First Class'. I was delightfully surprised with the action, humor and sheer excitement! Check out Brett and Ellen's review of 'X Men: First Class' and don't miss out on the best origin movie of the year!
Robyn's Pick of the Week
Modern Lady: Toppling Pregnant in Heels
I loved this Modern Lady sketch on 'Mommy Concierges'. It's especially clear how far apart the line between rich and poor is now, when you compare the ridiculous outlay of money here the next story, in which people are struggling to keep a roof over their heads.
Homecoming Without A Home added by KB723
This story of a returning soldier who'll get to join the hordes of people now dealing with a foreclosure really broke my heart. But, you have to give some sort of props to Chase for making banks look even sleasier than usual.
No wrap up would be complete without adding a huge congrats to the team behind Rape on the Reservation for their recent win of the 2010 Livingston Award for young journalists. If you haven't seen it yet, it's very powerful. For a limited time you can view the full episode here.

Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "Paul," the extraterrestrial romp from the British comedy duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, creators of "Hot Fuzz" and "Shaun of the Dead." Seth Rogen lends his voice to the seemingly stoned alien of the title whom Pegg and Frost help get back home. Both Brett and Ellen say Paul is a film you should leave home to see.

Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "Jane Eyre," the latest cinematic take on the classic 19th Century novel by Charlotte Bronte. Mia Wasikowska ("Alice in Wonderland") makes an excellent Jane, while Michael Fassbender from "Inglorious Basterds" is a pleasantly brooding Rochester. Brett and Ellen each give the film a "fresh" rating.

Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "Never Say Never," which chronicles Justin Bieber's meteoric rise from viral video sensation to global icon while still a teen-ager. Watching the 3-D (sort of) film has convinced Brett that Bieber is "a very talented kid with awesome hair," but do he or Ellen have similar plaudits for the movie itself?

Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox review "The Company Men," an ensemble film about corporate layoffs starring Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, Craig T. Nelson, Chris Cooper and Kevin Costner. Ellen liked the all-too-timely story from writer-director John Wells (of TV's "ER" and "West Wing"), while Brett despaired from too many scenes featuring sad white guys.

As 2010 winds to a close, one thing is inevitable -- lots of year-end countdowns. We want you to help us come up with ours -- we all have our favorite moments from Current's shows, but we also want to know what you think.
We asked you to choose which Rotten Tomatoes review most affected your movie viewing choices this year and you let us know, loud and clear.
5. Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox reviewed the latest in the Twilight saga, Eclipse, but apparently you had already decided to skip (or maybe see) that one...
4. When in Rome, or when on Earth, they heartily recommended you skip this movie.
3. In a tie for third place, Megamind with Will Ferrel and Tina Fey, got a fresh tomato from both hosts.
2. Kick Ass, um, kicked ass I suppose, sliding in at second place.
1. Coming in at #1, the Rotten Tomatoes Review of Inception was the review you said most made you see (or skip) the movie.
Agree with these results? Let us know in the comments.
