Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins are decapitated, set on fire and eaten by cats. The Eiffel Tower and most of the Egyptian pyramids are blown to hell. All in a day's work for Team America: World Police. If you're a fan of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's work — or if you're a fan of stuff exploding — you'll dig this jingoistic, satiric blast-ravaganza, performed entirely by puppets. This weekend, you can watch the international police force kick ass as they take on Kim Jong Il, a ruthless North Korean dictator who's brokering weapons of mass destruction to terrorists. The puppet sex and violence should be perfect late-night entertainment.
