This week's new movie releases - July 8, 2011

Now that the big Fourth of July weekend has passed, it's time to prepare for the next major blockbuster. That would be the final "Harry Potter" film, but we'll have to wait another week for it. This week, we're in for the return of Kevin James and a new adventure for Jason Bateman.
HORRIBLE BOSSES, with Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis
The new film by Seth Gordon ("The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters") looks pretty hilarious, although it also promises to be quite raunchy. At least it boasts quite the remarkable cast, and that may just as well be the comedy's biggest strength. Who knows... maybe this could be one of the funnier films of the summer. My excitement meter: 8/10.
ZOOKEEPER, with Kevin James, Rosario Dawson and Leslie Bibb
Zoo animals decide to start talking to a zookeper in order to help him find love. The zookeeper happens to be Kevin James, and yes, that's about all you have to know about it. Truth be told, this family flick looks disastrous, and that's really all I have to say about it. My excitement meter: 1/10.
