“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”
A somewhat mad scientist creates a way to turn water into to food, so whenever it rains, food falls from the sky. That can cause some problems. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” is the first kid’s movie of the fall and is inspired by the children’s book of the same name. If it does well, expect the sequel “Pickles to Pittsburgh” to hit theaters to hit theaters in no time. As with most of the recently released kid’s movies, this one is offered up in digital 3-D.
“The Informant!”
Steven Soderbergh, director of the “Ocean’s” movies, returns with his latest film, “The Informant,” starring Matt Damon. Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) decides to take down the multi-million dollar company he works for and goes to the feds with accusations of price-fixing. The feds set up Whitacre as an inside man, but it seems Whitacre is too stupid to be any kind of spy. Looks like something the Coen Brothers would do. Not that that’s a bad thing.
“Jennifer’s Body”
Diablo Cody won an Oscar a couple of years ago when she wrote “Juno.” That’s why you should like her. You should also like Kevin Costner, Cher, Whoopi Goldberg, Marisa Tomei, and Three Six Mafia. When the writers of such classic songs as “Slob On My Nob,” “ Azz & Tittiez,” and “Let’s Plan a Robbery” win an Academy Award, doesn’t that negate any kind of relevance the award once had? If you take the pregnant girl out of “Juno” and replace her with some kind of boy-eater, well, then it looks like you’ll get “Jennifer’s Body.”
“Love Happens”
Schmaltz. That’s all this is. Will Jennifer Aniston and the man that she shouldn’t be with but wants to be with end up being together? Yawn. You've seen "Love Happens" a million times, so just stay home.
