Though not a movie release, Roeper also offers up a glowing review of <a href="http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead"><em><em>The Walking Dead</em>: The Complete Second Season</em></a>, which he describes as "a great show" that "isn't really a show about zombies" despite the zomb-pocalypse setting of the based-on-a-comic book <em>AMC</em> series.</p><div class="showbanner"><img alt="" src="http://cache.Reelz.com/assets/content/general/Roeper-blog-footer-01.png"><div class="caption"><strong><span style="font-size:13px;">Get More Reviews on <em>Hollywood Dailies</em></strong>    <span>Weekdays 5:30p ET / 2:30p PT</span></div></div></p>                        <div class="clear"></div>                                             <cite>Posted 08.29.12 by BrentJS</cite>                <ul class="related"><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/290046/the-lucky-one/"><nobr>The Lucky One</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/291868/life-happens/"><nobr>Life Happens</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/280585/battleship/"><nobr>Battleship</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/309193/richard-roeper/"><nobr>Richard Roeper</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/show/119/roepers-movie-reviews/"><nobr>Roeper's Movie Reviews</nobr></a> </li><li class="last"><a href="http://www.reelz.com/show/93/hollywood-dailies/"><nobr>Hollywood Dailies</nobr></a> </li></ul><div class="clear"></div>                                </li>                     <li class="row">                                                    <div id="videooverlay-14524" class="video-player-wrapper">                    <a href="javascript:playVideo('videooverlay-14524', 65094)" >                                    <span class="clipframe">                            <img alt="" src="http://cache.reelz.com/assets/content/repFrame/65094/hitandrun_med.jpg" />                            <span class="playbutton lrg"></span>                            </span>                                                                        </a>                    <script type="text/javascript">videoEmbed('videooverlay-14524', 65094, 'http://cache.reelz.com/assets/content/repFrame/65094/hitandrun_med.jpg');</script>                                                    </div>                        <h3>                <a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie-news/14524/richard-roeper-reviews-hit-and-run/">Richard Roeper Reviews <em>Hit and Run</em></a>            </h3>            <p><p><a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/71863/dax-shepard/">Dax Shepard</a>'s new action-comedy <em><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/293341/hit-and-run/">Hit and Run</em></a> opened with <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=hitandrun.htm">a whimper</a> on Wednesday, but the movie is already on its way to becoming a success because of its miniscule &mdash; by modern action movie standards &mdash; $2 million budget.  But, we know you don't really care how much the movie cost to make or what it made on opening day. What you want to know is whether or not you should go see it this weekend.  According to our own <a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/189423/leonard-maltin/">Leonard Maltin</a>, <em>Hit and Run</em> is a <a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie-news/14520/leonard-maltin-reviews-hit-run/">"breezy, unpretentious and fun to watch"</a> action-comedy.  However, our <em>other</em> movie expert, <a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/309193/richard-roeper/">Richard Roeper</a>, is far less generous, describing the movie as "crass" and "mean-spirited."  Check out Roeper's review above and decide for yourself whether <em>Hit and Run</em> is a "hit" or whether you should "run" to see a different movie.</p><div class="showbanner"><img alt=""

href="http://www.reelz.com/person/309193/richard-roeper/">Richard Roeper</a> offers up his selection of this year's must-see movies...that nobody bothered to go to the theater to see.  Most of the movies on the list benefited from top-notch acting from odd casting couplings &mdash; <a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/79101/jack-black">Jack Black</a> with <a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/99772/shirley-maclaine/">Shirley Maclaine</a> in <a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/291246/bernie/"><em>Bernie</em></a>; <a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/246717/seth-rogen">Seth Rogen</a> with <a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/106852/michelle-williams/">Michelle Williams</a> in <a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/290504/take-this-waltz/"><em>Take This Waltz</em></a> &mdash; but suffered because the subject matter was either too off-putting, as in <a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/291394/seeking-a-friend-for-the-end-of-the-world/"><em>Seeking a Friend for the End of the World</em></a>, or not marketed properly, as with the "baudy" creation-of-the-vibrator period piece, <a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/289781/hysteria/"><em>Hysteria</em></a>. Check out the video above for the rest of Roeper's "must-see movies" and the reasons why each of his picks made the list.</p><div class="showbanner"><img alt="" src="http://cache.Reelz.com/assets/content/general/Roeper-blog-footer-01.png"><div class="caption"><strong><span style="font-size:13px;">Catch Roeper's reviews on <em>Hollywood Dailies</em></strong>    <span>weekdays 5:30p ET / 2:30p PT</span></div></div></p>                        <div class="clear"></div>                                             <cite>Posted 08.17.12 by BrentJS</cite>                <ul class="related"><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/293940/people-like-us/"><nobr>People Like Us</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/291394/seeking-a-friend-for-the-end-of-the-world/"><nobr>Seeking a Friend for the End of the World</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/289781/hysteria/"><nobr>Hysteria</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/291246/bernie/"><nobr>Bernie</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie/290504/take-this-waltz/"><nobr>Take This Waltz</nobr></a> </li><li><a href="http://www.reelz.com/person/309193/richard-roeper/"><nobr>Richard Roeper</nobr></a> </li><li class="last"><a href="http://www.reelz.com/show/119/roepers-movie-reviews/"><nobr>Roeper's Movie Reviews</nobr></a> </li></ul><div class="clear"></div>                                </li>                     <li class="row">                                                    <div id="videooverlay-14452" class="video-player-wrapper">                    <a href="javascript:playVideo('videooverlay-14452', 64924)" >                                    <span class="clipframe">                            <img alt="" src="http://cache.reelz.com/assets/content/repFrame/64924/dvdreviews_med.jpg" />                            <span class="playbutton lrg"></span>                            </span>                                                                        </a>                    <script type="text/javascript">videoEmbed('videooverlay-14452', 64924, 'http://cache.reelz.com/assets/content/repFrame/64924/dvdreviews_med.jpg');</script>                                                    </div>                        <h3>                <a href="http://www.reelz.com/movie-news/14452/richard-roeper-reviews-the-hunger-games-dexter-community-on-dvd-blu-ray/">Richard Roeper Reviews <em>The Hunger Games, Dexter, Community</em> on DVD, Blu-Ray</a>            </h3>            <p><P>It's Tuesday, which means new DVD and Blu-rays are <strike>hitting the shelves</strike> ready to be added to your queue/cart.
