It's Friday, and that means movies! Here's what's new in theatres this weekend. Now grab your popcorn, set your cell to silent and enjoy!
Leatherheads - George Clooney recruits a young buck college football star played by um... some other guy (just kidding, John Krasinski) to help save his 1920s football team after their sponsor pulls out. Off the field they vie for Renee Zellweger's attention. Although I'm sure we don't like seeing Dr. Doug punched in the face in the trailers, this looks like a fun movie.
Shine A Light - Scorsese scores again with this rockumentary about the Rolling Stones' 2006 concerts at the Beacon Theatre in New York. See if you can spot the Clintons in the audience!
Nim's Island - I confess I don't understand this movie plot at all, though I've read three reviews of it this morning. Nor do I understand why Jodie Foster made this movie. Maybe she needed the money? Jodie Foster is an agoraphobic San Francisco author. Abigail Breslin is the daughter of a marine biologist who's favorite literary character is, of course, from the books Foster writes. Breslin's father, whose life somehow parallels that of Foster's character, goes missing, and somehow Jodie gets involved. OK, you're going to have to go see the film.
The Ruins - Bizarre things happen in this horror/thriller when six friends go explore an archeological dig in Mexico. And I mean BIZARRE.
My Blueberry Nights - Jude Law and Norah Jones star in this movie about a young woman on a road trip across America and the personal revelations she experiences on her journey. Limited release.
Sex and Death 101 - A guy is about to get married when he receives a mysterious email listing everyone he's ever had sex with - and everyone he ever WILL have sex with. Limited release.
The Flight Of The Red Balloon - No, no, no, a thousand times no. Someone decided to make a movie "inspired by" the movie I saw in every French class I ever took from 7th grade to 12th grade - Le Balloon Rouge. Go watch it if you want, but I'll be over here grumbling about how people just can't leave s**t alone.
