Fall Movie Releases 9/18/09

The Informant!

Matt Damon plays Mark Whitacre, who, while working for an agricultural company, blows the whistle on a price-fixing scandal in the mid 90s to the Feds. The straightforward events and book have been turned into a jokey, sarcastic film. But with Steven Soderbergh at the helm, odds are the tone (among everything else) will be just right. Scott Bakula and Joel McHale (!) co-star.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Animated. Bill Hader and Anna Faris voice characters who are investigating why food is falling from the sky. Adam Samberg, Mr. T, and Bruce Campbell provide additional voices. Looks fast paced and somewhat visually interesting. Reviews are not too bad so you could probably do a lot worse.


Love Happens

Aaron Eckhart is a self-help author who doesn’t take his own advice. Jennifer Aniston has sworn off men until she meets Eckhart. Sounds like every single romantic comedy of the last 10 years.





Jennifer’s Body

Megan Fox is a small town high school student who becomes possessed by a demon. Her best friend must stop her from killing all the boys in town. I can’t think of a worse way for Diablo Cody to follow up her Oscar-winning Juno script.
