BEST BET(s): Not a great crop of movies coming out this week, but if you’ve seen everything else I’m recommending below, go ahead and rent “What Just Happened?”…. Robert DeNiro leads a great cast in a movie making fun… of the movie making process.

YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN: “Extreme Movie” is an “R” rated spoof-movie, “Sex Drive” is an “R” rated teen comedy about driving a long distance to hook-up, and ”The Haunting of Molly Hartley” is a horror movie that had a shaky showing at the box office and got mixed reviews.
