\"\"New releases this week feature two Oscar contenders opening in wider release and one new film not in contention for any award.<\/p>\n

\"\"1. Underworld: Blood Wars (Sony\/Screen Gems, 3,070 Theaters, 91 Minutes, Rated R for strong bloody violence, and some sexuality, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: 10% Fresh <\/a>[20 Reviews]): <\/strong>This film is the fifth installment of this series. The fifth! It’s like how the Ice Age <\/strong>franchise is with me. I stopped paying attention after the second one, and they put out three more when I wasn’t watching.<\/p>\n

Selene (Kate Beckinsale) is back. Hated by\u00a0her werewolf enemies, betrayed by her vampire family, she fights with only a handful of allies to stop the war between the creatures of the night. This time, she is determined to stop the fighting at any cost.<\/p>\n

The reviews are atrocious, but I’d image as long as Beckinsale is in a skintight pleather outfit, kicking people in slow motion, fans won’t mind at all, a fact born out by the film already making its budget back overseas.<\/p>\n
