Fall Movie Releases - 11/20/09

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Director Werner Herzog takes a break from challenging documentaries for this remake of sorts of Abel Ferrara's unwatchable 1992 film starring Harvey Keitel (though if we're talking great performances in bad films, Keitel's is near the top). This time around, Nicolas Cage plays the drug-addicted, prostitute loving cop going rogue in the city of New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina. Eva Mendes and Val Kilmer co-star. It's always great to see Iceman - chubby or not. In limited release.

The Blind Side

A homeless huge black kid is taken in by a Southern white family and succeeds in football, eventually reaching the NFL. Based on a true story. Sandra Bullock is said to be pretty good as the matriarch. Looks like it could be uplifting if you have a heart and haven't seen any sports movies in the past 10 years.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

OMFG! CFW 4 this 2nite. 1st one soooooooooooo awesome! CUL8R! LOL!!!!



Planet 51

Will parents take their kids to anything for some solace? Apparently so. Dwayne "Tooth Fairy" Johnson, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Stifler, Gary Oldman, and John Cleese provide voices. Another animated alien movie (at least the third one in the past 6 months).
