This week in theaters we have the surprise "Cloverfield" sequel "10 Cloverfield Lane" which has received stellar reviews. However, don't expect it to be the same kind of monster rampage flick. It'a an entirely different, but really good, work of cinema. If you're not into dark and tense stuff, the antidote would be the Sacha Baron Cohen comedy "The Brothers Grimsby", the religious drama "The Young Messiah" or the romantic comedy "The Perfect Match". More about each movie after the jump.
Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.

Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen), a sweet but dimwitted English football hooligan, reunites with his long-lost brother Sebastian (Mark Strong), a deadly MI6 agent, to prevent a massive global terror attack and prove that behind every great spy is an embarrassing sibling. Nobby has everything a man from Grimsby could want, including 11 children and the most gorgeous girlfriend in the northeast of England (Rebel Wilson).

Nobby sets off to reunite with Sebastian, unaware that not only is his brother MI6's deadliest assassin, but he's just uncovered plans for an imminent global terrorist attack.
