In Theaters:
- Choke - Sam Rockwell in a movie based on a book by the author of Fight Club about a con-man who fakes choking in fancy restaurants. You can bet it’s going to be crude and violent. If it’s you’re type of thing, you already know about it.
- Eagle Eye - Shia LeBeouf has a guardian angel … or does he? Either way, looks like fun.
- Miracle at St. Anna - Spike Lee’s latest joint about an all black unit in WWII that gets trapped behind enemy lines. I don’t know much about it, except that Spike doesn’t like Clint Eastwood.
- Nights in Rodanthe - The latest Nicholas Sparks novel to be adapted to the big screen. I’ll be avoiding it like the plague, I suggest you do the same.
On Video:
- Sex and the City - You may have heard of this one.
- Leatherheads - It was fun, but could’ve been a lot better.
- Run Fatboy, Run - Simon Pegg is fat, so he signs up for a marathon to win back his ex. I’ll watch just about anything with Pegg in it.
- Deception - Ewan McGregor does naughty things and gets in trouble. Not interested.
- Foot Fist Way - It comes highly recommended by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, so you know I’m watching it.

In Theaters:
- Ghost Town - The dude from the British Office sees dead people.
- Igor - John Cusack is a cartoon hunchback with delusions of grandeur. I really want to see this, but that may just be all the visions of “Eye-gore” left in my head from Young Frankenstein.
- Lakeview Terrace - Samuel L. Jackson plays a cop who doesn’t know how to play nice. Predictability ensues.
- My Best Friend’s Girl - Pie boy and Dane Cook in another romantic comedy. Dane Cook plays a douchebag who acts like a fool. It’s a stretch, I know.
- Appaloosa (Limited) - Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen play lawmen in the old west. I don’t care what happens, I’m already on board. Someone fly me to New York or LA please.
- Battle in Seattle (Limited) - A fictional recreation of the 1999 Seattle riots using actual audio and some actual video. I’m interested. Someone in NYC go see this and tell me if it’s any good.
- A Thousand Years of Good Prayers (Limited) - An old man from Beijing tracks down and visits his estranged daughter. Despite my lame synopsis, this one looks worth watching.
On Video:
- Made of Honor - This movie has been clinically proven to cause rampant stupidity among lab rats.
- Speed Racer - One thing’s for sure, it’s fun to look at.
- The Love Guru - Don’t encourage him.
- 88 Minutes - Al Pacino hasn’t made a decent movie in at least a decade.

I think the Fall movie season might be starting. Finally, some decent movies!
In Theaters:
- Burn After Reading - Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, and Tilda Swinton all mixed together by the Coen Brothers. Need I say more?
- Righteous Kill - Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino team up again in a cop thriller. Neither of them have done much lately, but this one actually looks decent. I’ll probably catch it on video.
- Tyler Perry’s The Family that Preys - See what he did there? I’ve never seen a Tyler Perry movie and I’m not going to see this one, but if you liked the others, you’ll probably like this one and it’s sure to make a mint. I just don’t get it.
- The Women - Something something, old ladies, something something, cheating spouses, something something, I couldn’t care less.
On Video:
- Baby Mama - Tina Fey + Amy Poheler = yes please!
- The Forbidden Kingdom - Jet Li + Jackie Chan = in the queue.
- The Fall - Spike Jonze & David Fincher presenting + Trippy movie = good rentals across the board. It’s a Christmas miracle.
