Batman and Superman face off in theaters this weekend in Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman". Don't get too excited, though, because apparently the movie sucks. Don't believe me, ask the critics. Also in theaters, the pointless sequel "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2". That one's supposed to be pretty bad, too. And worst of all, the highly anticipated Hank Williams biopic "I Saw the Light" starring Tom Hiddleston is just as bad as the previous two. Who can understand Hollywood these days. Much better, however, is the Chet Baker biopic "Born to Be Blue" starring Ethan Hawke. More about each movie after the jump.
Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.

BORN TO BE BLUE
Official Synopsis
Ethan Hawke lights up the screen as jazz legend Chet Baker, whose tumultuous life is thrillingly reimagined with wit, verve, and style to burn. In the 1950s, Baker was one of the most famous trumpeters in the world, renowned as both a pioneer of the West Coast jazz scene and an icon of cool. By the 1960s, he was all but washed up, his career and personal life in shambles due to years of heroin addiction. In his innovative anti-biopic, director Robert Budreau zeroes in on Baker's life at a key moment in the 1960s, just as the musician attempts to stage a hard-fought comeback, spurred in part by a passionate romance with a new flame (Carmen Ejogo). Creatively blending fact with fiction and driven by Hawke's virtuoso performance, Born to Be Blueunfolds with all the stylistic brio and improvisatory genius of great jazz.
