WIDE RELEASES
Casino Royale (Martin Cambell)
IMDb Description: After earning his license to kill, MI6 dispatches James Bond (Craig) to Madagascar to track a terrorist. The spy soon expands his search to include an entire terrorist cell, tipping off an adventure that leads him into a Montenegro casino, where his organization backs him in a marathon game against Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), a banker to international terrorist organizations.
My Opinion: Looks like old-school Bond, and while my interest in the series has waned considerably in the past few years, I will be seeing it.
Happy Feet (George Miller)
IMDb Description: Into the world of the Emperor Penguins, who find their soul mates through song, a penguin named Mumble (Wood) is ashamed by the fact that he cannot sing. However, he can tap dance something fierce, but how does this fit into his society?
My Opinion: Lord, no. Remember when George Miller made good movies?
Let's Go To Prison (Bob Odenkirk)
IMDb Description: A career criminal (Shepard) and a rich snob (Arnett) are brought together in a cell in a maximum-security prison.
My Opinion: Looks positively terrible.
LIMITED RELEASES
Fast Food Nation (Richard Linklater) (opens wide November 24)
IMDb Description: A marketing executive (Kinnear) for a fast food giant travels to the Colorado town that's home to feedlots and packing plant that fuel his business. His goal: to quietly investigate whether cow manure has found its way into his product.
My Opinion: Linklater. Does any more need to be said?
Come Early Morning (Joey Lauren Adams)
IMDb Description: Lucy (Judd), a hard-drinking, blue collar woman whose life has dissolved into a series of one-night stands, confronts her issues after meeting a newcomer to town (Donovan) who challenges her to consider a healthy relationship with him.
My Opinion: I have heard good things, but I'll wait till DVD. (couldn't find a poster)
The Aura (Fabián Bielinsky)
IMDb Description: A loner taxidermist (Darin) obsessed with the idea of committing the perfect crime seizes an opportunity after he accidentally kills a motel owner (Rodal) that may or may not have been on the level.
My Opinion: Looks decent.
ALSO OPENING
Something called the After Dark Horrorfest subtitled "8 Films to Die For" I didn't make an entry for this, cause it's eight movies, and half of them look terrible anyway. Snoop Dogg is in one. C'mon!
PTAhole's Picks of the Week:

If it's in your town:
