Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) returns for another adventure at sea in the fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This time around, Jack is dragged aboard Blackbeard's ship by his former flame, Angelica (Penelope Cruz), and forced to set out with the crew on a quest for the fountain of youth. Despite the onscreen chemistry between Depp and Cruz, the movie drags on with too many action scenes. DVD extras include a blooper reel and audio commentary by director Rob Marshall.

Bad Teacher

Cameron Diaz heads to the classroom as Elizabeth, a foul-mouthed middle school teacher whose main concern is saving up enough money to get a boob job, so that she can lure a new sugar daddy. She eventually sets her eyes on fellow teacher Scott (Justin Timberlake), overlooking the advances of a gym teacher played by Jason Segel. While it's refreshing to see Diaz take on a bad-girl role, the movie's plot is weak and the film is ultimately forgettable. The extras on the DVD include two featurettes and an interactive yearbook.

Not many films have been able to hang on to the box office crown for long this Summer, but Transformers: Dark of the Moon is proving to be an exception. The Michael Bay sequel scored the top spot for the second weekend in a row, taking in $47 million this past weekend. New comedy Horrible Bosses settled for a distant second, taking in a healthy $28.1 million. Kevin James's box office magic seems to be dwindling, as Zookeeper opened in third with $21 million.

Cars 2 slipped to fourth with $15.2 million, while Bad Teacher hung on to the top five by earning $9 million. Though Transformers is the Summer's biggest success so far, next week's release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 should make for stiff competition.

Chick-coms can play with the big boys now that Bridesmaids has been crowned the top R-rated female comedy of all time with a domestic total of $152.9 million at the box office this weekend (surpassing former champ Sex and the City). So now that we've made headway in the raunchy comedy arena, is it time to temper the stereotypical sweet/sexy — and in the case of Bridesmaids, down-and-out — heroine with some mean, badass leading ladies?

The Huffington Post points out that with characters like Jennifer Aniston's seductress in Horrible Bosses and Cameron Diaz's role in Bad Teacher, we're finally seeing some naughty women in comedies relish who they are, in all their b*tchy glory. Cameron's character Elizabeth Halsey doesn't fit into a prepackaged female film role, which is refreshing; she's not going to transform into an angelic role model and/or find love and live happily ever after, she's not a throwaway sideline character meant for comedic one-liners, she's not the sexy love interest for a male protagonist, and she's not the evil villain. Instead, she's a flawed heroine who hates her job and does what she wants despite society telling her otherwise — and isn't that a female character we can relate to?

Are you tired of seeing safe female characters? Is it time to spice things up with some devilishly confident women?

As expected, Transformers: Dark of the Moon dominated the Fourth of July Weekend, taking in a whopping $97.4 million to secure first place (the film has grossed over $162 million since opening last Wednesday). It didn't just win the crown though; the movie also set a new record for the biggest Fourth of July weekend opening ever, and the biggest opening of 2011.

Last week's champ, Cars 2, settled for a distant second with $25.1 million, while Bad Teacher dipped to third place, taking in $14.1 million. Tom Hanks's romantic comedy Larry Crowne made its debut in fourth with $13 million, followed by new teen flick Monte Carlo, which rounded out the top five with $7.6 million.

Cars 2 may not have received the same critical acclaim as its Pixar predecessors, but it still earned box office success. The kids' movie scored the top spot and took in $68 million for its debut weekend. Right behind it was Bad Teacher, which opened with $31 million. Green Lantern dipped to third with $18.5 million, while Super 8 took fourth with $12.1 million. Mr. Popper's Penguins completed the top five with $10.3 million.

Cameron Diaz's new movie Bad Teacher is out in theaters this weekend, and we had a chance to catch up with her while filming our latest I'm a Huge Fan with the A-list actress. Cameron chatted with us about what it was like watching the Justin Timberlake-Jason Segel bromance blossom, why she loves taking on over-the-top characters, and what it's like working with Colin Firth on their upcoming film Gambit. Plus, check out her answer when our winner asked what was the most outlandish rumor Cameron has ever heard about herself. Here's what Cameron had to say:

You have great comedic chemistry with Jason Segel; what makes you two work well together?
Jason Segel is a comedic genius, so I just followed his lead. He has such great timing, and he's so funny, and he really just knows how to do it, so I just played with his rhythm mostly. It's just written so well, as well.

Do you have any funny on-set stories about Jason and Justin?
I mean tons, way too many to even mention. There was a bromance happening most of the time. I couldn't get into the circle; it was impenetrable, a man world in there. I just kind of watched it at a distance in awe of the love and beauty that was being born on the set of Bad Teacher.

You're currently filming Gambit with Colin Firth; how is that going?
Colin Firth is the loveliest man on the face of the planet, and we are having a blast. We're really, truly just having such a great time.

What was going through your mind filming the car-wash scene?
Oh, please, Lord, do not let me slide off the hood of this car onto the concrete. That would suck.
