Silver Linings Playbook

Jennifer Lawrence took home an Oscar for her performance as a young widow in this crowd-pleasing award season darling. The film centers on Bradley Cooper as a bipolar former teacher returning home after a nervous breakdown. The fantastic David O. Russell film is as comedic as it is dramatic, and the leads have undeniable chemistry. Robert De Niro, Jacki Weaver, and Chris Tucker round out a terrific cast. The DVD comes with deleted scenes and three behind-the-scenes featurettes.

The Guilt Trip

Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand muster all the spirit they can for this schmaltzy, predictable film. Streisand plays mother to Rogen, an inventor who invites her along on a road trip he has planned to sell his latest invention. Though high jinks inevitably follow, the movie is more targeted at feel-good humor than crude jokes — not to say that there aren't a few in there. The DVD includes deleted scenes and three featurettes.

Executive producer Guillermo del Toro's new release, Mama, earned $28.1 million and the top spot, while last week's winner, Zero Dark Thirty, added $17.6 million to its total. Silver Linings Playbook came in third with $11.3 million, followed by Gangster Squad with $9.1 million. Mark Wahlberg's new release Broken City rounded out the top five with only $9 million. The weekend's other new contender The Last Stand earned $6.3 million and 10th place.

Mark Wahlberg had a smile on his face when he premiered Broken City in Philadelphia last night. His latest film also features Catherine Zeta-Jones and Russell Crowe, though they were absent from the festivities. Mark did, however, have the support of director Allen Hughes for the occasion. Along with debuting the film, Mark did the weather and traffic forecast for a local station this morning. Philly was Mark's latest promotional stop for the project, after visiting Atlanta and Chicago to chat up the release in recent days.

Another one of Mark's movies is getting press as well, since it's been reported that Jack Reynor has signed on to star opposite Mark in Transformers 4. Mark's 2013 is off to a busy start following a relaxing family vacation over the holidays in Hawaii where he went shirtless to hit the beach with his wife and kids.

Broken City Trailer: It's Mark Wahlberg vs. Russell Crowe

Mark Wahlberg has the role of tough guy down pat, and in Broken City, he's going there again to face off with the most slippery of villains: the dirty politician.

Mark Wahlberg has the role of tough guy down pat, and in Broken City, he's going there again to face off with the most slippery of villains: the dirty politician. Wahlberg is Billy Taggart, a former cop whose heroics earn him the attention of Nicholas Hostetler (Russell Crowe), the NYC mayor who has cleaned up the city (despite his really unfortunate hairstyle). Hostetler wants to use Taggart's special skill set for something under the table — to find out who his cheating wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been seeing. When Hostetler's wife's lover shows up dead, Taggart realizes that Hostetler commits worse crimes than stuffing ballot boxes, but he refuses to be one of the mayor's minions.

Aside from employing one of the most overused trailer songs of the last two years, Kanye West's "Power," the story seems pretty original — and unpredictable. Not only am I interested in seeing who comes out on top here, but I also like seeing Wahlberg pitted against Crowe. They're two actors I wouldn't have picked to play nemeses, but it looks like they have the right chemistry to butt heads. Broken City comes out Jan. 18, and you can watch the trailer after the break.
