Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (PG)

Security guard Larry Daley returns in the family-friendly Museum sequel to rescue his historical buddies, Jedediah and Octavius, who were shipped to the museum. The holiday-ready film features an all-star cast as myriad figures from history’s biggest moments. (Ben Stiller [Larry Daley], Amy Adams [Amelia Earhart], Owen Wilson [Jedediah] and Robin Williams [Teddy Roosevelt])

Paper Heart (PG-13)

Does true love really exist? In this warm-hearted documentary (ahem, “story,” as the trailer insists), actor love skeptic Charlyne Yi travels across the country to try to make sense of the subject. Along the way she meets actor Michael Cera and the rest... is history. (Michael Cera [himself], Charlyne Yi [herself] and Jake Johnson [Nick Jasenovec])

Terminator Salvation (R)

Yes, they’re back. Luckily, so is the fearless John Connor! The evil Skynet has wiped out most of humanity, but our intrepid warrior leads the effort to keep the machines from killing the final few survivors. (Christian Bale [John Connor], Sam Worthington [Marcus Wright] and Moon Bloodgood [Blair Williams])

Christian Bale apologized for his infamous, profanity-laced tirade on the set of Terminator Salvation but you still can’t help but think he’s a pompous jerk while watching the movie. Considering that his dialogue consists mainly of cliche gems such as, “We’re all gonna die!” or “The devil’s hands have been busy,” it’s pretty shocking that he would have gone off on director of photography Shane Hurlbut for walking in his line of vision. “I’m trying to do a f***ing scene here!” Bale screamed. “My mind is not in the scene if you’re doing that! You’re trashing my scene!”

Bale doesn’t even have that many scenes. And in the ones he appears in, he not only overacts (in his breathy Batman voice), he’s personality-less. Bale is completely upstaged by deafening CGI effects and his co-stars, especially Sam Worthington, who plays sexy and mysterious human-machine hybrid Marcus Wright.

Awkward.

Christian Bale appeared on ABC's Good Morning America Monday, and yes, co-anchor Chris Cuomo went there.

Bale -- there to promote his new film Terminator Salvation - looked less than thrilled to be asked about his  now infamous four minute, obscenity-filled rant directed at a crew member during shooting of the film.
