In Theaters:
- Tropic Thunder – Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. act as actors acting out a jungle war movie that becomes more than an act. I’d watch it just for Robert Downey Jr.
- Henry Poole is Here – Luke Wilson’s neighbors flock to his house to be healed by the miracle stain. I’ll be flocking to the couch to avoid this movie at all costs.
- Mirrors – Jack Bauer sees terrorists in the mirror. Or something like that.
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars – George Lucas goes on a quest to find more money for his single 30-year-old good idea.
On Video:
- Smart People – The chick from Juno runs around with a bunch of smart people. It could be good, it could be typical indie pretentiousness. I’ll give it a whirl.
- CJ7 – Stephen Chow’s (Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle) latest. The trailers confused me and it got mediocre reviews, but his other movies were so good, I stuck it in the queue anyway.
- How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer – Ugly Betty spends a summer with some other girls doing their makeup or doing their nails, or having pillow fights or something. I remain completely uninterested.
