This Week in Movies - 9/15/08Filed Under: This Week in Movies

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.
