Indie darling Todd Solondz’s newest film, “Life During Wartime,” goes into limited release today. “Ramona and Beezus,” featuring Selena Gomez (in her first starring role in a major motion picture) also opens. But the big weekend movie is the Angelina Jolie action-thriller, “Salt.”

Rafer Guzman, Takeaway contributor and Newsday film critic, gives us his take on the weekend’s anticipated releases.
