What's Opening in Theaters Today
You probably owe someone an overDue Date to the movies. This weekend there are movies For Colored Girls and anyone else! But you don't have 127 Hours for all of them, so use that Megamind of yours and pick one!
127 Hours
James Franco saws his arm off in this artsy version of Saw. People apparently faint when they see this movie, so you'd better go to one of those theaters with the padded floors. Those exist, right? (Limited release)
Due Date
Hungry for The Hangover 2 and don't think you can make it til next year? Well, here, here's this movie. It's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles except with more Jamie Foxx cameos. (Wide release)
For Colored Girls
Tyler Perry tackles classic 1970s choreo-poem theater, mostly by adding his own Godly moralizing and wooden directing. At least there's Phylicia Rashad! (Wide release)
Four Lions
This is the tres controversial British comedy about... terrorists! Boom! Boom? (Limited release)
Megamind
Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, and a bunch of other people got paid a shitload of money for about a week of voice work and then a couple weeks of promotion. So, let's all go celebrate that amazing feat, shall we? (Wide release)
Red Hill
Jason Stackhouse Jason Stackhouse Jason Stackhouse Jason Stackhouse. This movie has Jason Stackhouse in it. Jason Stackhouse. (Limited release)
Client No. 9
Eliot Spitzer's little sex-oops gets the documentary treatment. I, for one, can't wait for the searing, horrifying documentary about the making of Parker/Spitzer. I didn't Parker or Spitzer! I barely know 'er! Heh. (Limited release)
Fair Game
Doug Liman directs this docudrama about Valerie Plame and her rumpled husband, Sean Penn. Reviews have been good, so go see it, you America-hating peaceniks! (Limited release)
