Fame Redux
Plus: If only I could have sent my Surrogate to this crushingly tedious film
(Oct. 1, 2009) Previews
Opening Friday, Oct. 2, is Michael Moore’s latest satiric documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story, this time dealing with the current economic crisis. Moore says it’s a crime story, a class warfare story and a comedy. Rated R for some language. 120m. At Broadway and Minor.
Drew Barrymore’s directing debut, Whip It, features Ellen Page as a teen who dumps beauty pageants to pursue roller derby, much to her mother’s chagrin. Looks promising. Rated PG-13 for sexual content including crude dialogue, language and drug material. 111m. At Broadway.
The Invention of Lying is a comedy directed by and starring Ricky Gervais and Jennifer Garner about a man living in a world where no one has ever lied. He tells the first, and goodbye Garden of Eden. Rated PG-13 for language including some sexual material and a drug reference. 100m. At Broadway.
The comic horror film Zombieland stars Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson in a future world where zombies dominate. How to deal — kill, or integrate? Guess which is more fun. Rated R for horror violence/gore and language. 81m. At Broadway, Fortuna, Mill Creek and Minor.
An Inconvenient Truth director Davis Guggenheim is back with It Might Get Loud, a documentary celebrating the power of the electric guitar. The film features interviews with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White. Rated PG. 97m. At the Minor
