Weekend movie tips

If you're not of a mind to see movies about talking lions and CGI race cars this weekend, let me suggest some worthy alternatives: Son of Rambow, How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer, Then She Found Me, Forgetting Sarah Marshall -- and, yes, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.
