Here's what's coming out this week. There's a mix of everything. If you like horror, there's two movies for you--Sorority Row or Whiteout. For comedies, look no further than Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself. My personal choice this week would be the animated action film 9. Also, The September Issue widens its release this week.
9: When a scientist realizes that then end of humans is approaching, he splits his personality into pieces and embeds the pieces in stitchpunks, what look to be some kind of a doll. The stitchpunk numbered 9 wakes up to an apocalyptic world where the other eight live in fear. He riles them up to save society. Anyone who has seen Shane Acker's award winning short knows how beautiful the shades of green and black are, but can the story be carried out for a feature film? Even with a short run time of 79 minutes, I'm still a little unsure. Still, this is the movie I'm seeing this weekend. Parents: this is rated PG-13; it's not for your children.
I Can Do Bad All By Myself: Tyler Perry revisits the Madea franchise, but this one involves a disco and Taraji P. Henson as a singer. Anything that has Taraji P. Henson couldn't be too bad. Personally, I'm not a fan of Madea or Tyler Perry, but I give him credit for producing so much material that the public seems to love.
The September Issue: Widening its release this weekend is the independent documentary on how Vogue made their 2007 September issue. What sounds like an easily drab movie that could only be for women and fashionistas is actually quite different. I am a straight male who is not into fashion at all, yet I highly recommend this film. R.J. Cutler has an unusual way of filmmaking that really works.
Sorority Row: Theta Pi, a sorority, finds out that one of its sisters is being cheated on by her boyfriend. They decide to play a mean trick on him by pretending she is dead. There's only one problem--she actually dies. They bury her and pretend like nothing happened. Years later, the sisters graduate, but the girl they buried comes back for a vengeance. A movie sporting the tagline "Theta Pi must die" could possibly good. If this is your cup of tea, go for it, but I would only watch it if it was on TV and I didn't have to pay money.
Whiteout: Antarctica experiences its first murder and Kate Beckinsale stars as a U.S. Marshal who's there to solve it before the sun sets for six months. Sounds to me like a rip off of 30 Days of Night. Definitely won't be seeing this one. Fans of the graphic novel may be dissapointed. Actually, correction, they will be dissapointed.
