It's no surprise that indie offerings Putty Hill and the doc The Last Lions score the best reviews of the motley crew of movies that opened for the holiday weekend. Unknown, Liam Neeson's follow-up to sleeper hit Taken is next.

I'd send you to the limited release of Fox Searchlight's Sundance comedy Cedar Rapids, starring Ed Helms and John C. Reilly, or catch up on any Oscar contenders you've missed. Even the Oscar shorts are in circulation at an art-house near you.

We'll report on the box office on Monday morning. In the meantime, check out the trailers and reviews below.
