Weekend Movies: Two to Skip, Two to See

The World

It’s a summer Friday, which means that new movies are opening nationwide. To help us navigate Hollywood’s new releases we speak with Wesley Morris, film critic for the Boston Globe. This week he gives us his thoughts on two films to avoid (*cough* The Time Traveler’s Wife and The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard *cough*) and two to watch: Ponyo and Peter Jackson’s District 9.
