New Movie Reviews: 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,' Sarah Palin's 'Undefeated,' 'Winnie the Pooh' Hitting Theaters

Harry Potter, the most successful movie franchise ever, is coming to an end after eight movies in 10 years. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, directed by David Yates, stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.

Meanwhile, little kids are targeted with the Disney animated feature Winnie the Pooh. The music is sung by Zooey Deschanel, while Jim Cummings, Craig Ferguson, John Cleese and Tom Kenny lent their voices for the movie.

Also opening is The Undefeated, a partisan documentary about  Alaska's ex-governor Sarah Palin.

See what The Hollywood Reporter's critics have to say about those films -- and others opening this weekend.

Life, Above All
Bottom Line: German-born director Oliver Schmitz takes on the subject of AIDS in South Africa without kowtowing to western images of Africa in this somewhat simplistic drama.

The Undefeated
Bottom Line: A partisan piece stitched together using positive sound bites about Sarah Palin that will get media attention simply for its subject, though it isn't a must-see film by any means.

Salvation Boulevard
Bottom Line: Silly cat-and-mouse comedy doesn't make much of its evangelist-mocking premise.

Tabloid
Bottom Line: A once lurid, now forgotten British scandal gets resurrected in this entertaining but narrowly focused doc from Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris.
