Fall Movie Releases - 10/9/09

Couples Retreat

Vince Vaughn's motor mouth is a national treasure, best seen in Swingers, Wedding Crashers, and Old School. Unlike those 3 movies, Couples Retreat has been defanged with a PG-13 rating which doesn't have to be bad, but probably is. 4 couples go to paradise on earth to improve their relationships. The trailer wasn't so bad but the reviews are not so good. Kristen Bell, Jon Favreau, and the ubiquitous Jason Bateman co-star.

An Education

Carey Mulligan is set to attend Oxford until she meets an older man (Peter Sarsgaard) which threatens her bright future. It's one of the better reviewed films of the year and some say the 24 year old Mulligan might actually take home the Best Actress Oscar. Trailer is here. Limited release.

VV was on Letterman last night, pure gold - try and find it if you can. This is a must for me. For the record, I couldn't care less about Letterman's off-air romances.

Mulligan was also on Letterman - also a must given the Sarsgaaaaard factor.
