Film Guy at LouisvilleMojo here with the rundown for this November 13-15 Weekend should you choose to hang out at Stonybrook, Baxter, Village 8, Tinseltown, or any others.
Opening This Weekend:
“2012” – It's not the year 2525, but it's just as disastrous… Roland Emmerich is behind this apocalyptic movie staring John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, and Oliver Platt. Opens November 13, 2009
“Pirate Radio” – Set in the 60's. A group of DJ's give a new meaning to “the boat that rocked” by broadcasting rock music from a boat in the North Seas while most of the broadcasters in England are still clinging to jazz. Stars Bill Nighy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gemma Arterton, Emma Thompson, and David Frost. Opens November 13, 2009
For Your Indie/Art-house Consideration:
“American Violet” – Based on the true story of Dee Roberts, a 24 year-old African American single mother of four living in a small Texas town when she is dragged away from work one day in handcuffs, and then dumped in the women's county prison. The local district attorney leads an extensive drug bust, sweeping her housing project with military precision. Dee soon discovers that she has been charged as a drug dealer.
Special Mention:
“Labyrinth” – A teenage girl (Jennifer Connelly) must rescue her bothersome brother from the goblins who have kidnapped him and their Goblin King (David Bowie). Directed by Jim Henson and written by Terry Jones (of Monty Python).
“The Muppet Movie” – Kermit and Company hit the road for Hollywood in search of fame and fortune, gathering friends along the way. Unfortunately the frog is being hunted by Doc Hopper (Charles Durning) a “Colonel Sanders” in the world of frog legs.
“Twilight” – The first in the “Twilight” saga about forbidden love between a girl sent to live with her dad (Kristen Stewart) and a teenage vampire (Robert Pattinson).
The Rundown: Word around the campfire is that “2012” is all special effects with zero plot. I'm just sayin'… I've been waiting for “Pirate Radio” since I saw the first previews when the title was “The Boat That Rocked.”
There you have it: “The Boat That Rocked.” And maybe the Jim Henson double feature.
