Films
Three films open in theaters this Friday, April 18th.

• The Forbidden Kingdom (PG-13) Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Do I need to say anything else?
• Forgetting Sarah Marshall (R) A comedy that Richard Roeper calls an “instant classic” and lists as one of his top 50 comedies.
• Pathology (R) A thriller set in which a group of med students compete to see which of them can commit the perfect murder.
• Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (PG-13) Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me stars in this tongue-in-cheek documentary which examines the on-going search for America’s most wanted terrorist.
