NOW SHOWING
AT MOVIES 6:
“Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist:” This comedy is about two people thrust together for one hilarious, sleepless night of adventure in a world of mix tapes, late-night living and live, loud music. Nick (Michael Cera) frequents New York’s indie rock scene nursing a broken heart and a vague ability to play the bass. Norah (Kat Dennings) is questioning pretty much all of her assumptions about the world. Though they have nothing in common except for their taste in music, their chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band’s secret show and ends up becoming the first date in a romance that could change both their lives. (PG-13: for mature thematic material including teen drinking, sexuality, language and crude behavior)
“How to Lose Friends and Alienate People:” Sidney Young is a disillusioned intellectual who both adores and despises the world of celebrity, fame and glamour. His alternative magazine, Post Modern Review, pokes fun at the media-obsessed stars and bucks trends, so when Young is offered a job at the diametrically opposed, conservative, New York-based Sharps magazine, it’s something of a shock! It seems Sharps editor Clayton Harding is amused by Young’s disruption of a post-BAFTA party with a pig posing as Babe. Thus begins Sidney’s descent into success — his gradual move from derided outsider to confidante of starlet Sophie Maes — and a love affair with colleague Alison Olsen, that will either make him or break him. Starring are Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, Danny Huston and Gillian Anderson. (R: for language, some graphic nudity and brief drug material)
“An American Carol:” The American spirit is celebrated in this outrageous and irreverent comedy from David Zucker, who is behind movie satires like “Airplane!,” “The Naked Gun,” and “Scary Movie 3 and 4.” Starring are Kelsey Grammar, Leslie Nielson, Jon Voight and others. (PG-13: for rude and irreverent content, and for language and brief drug material)
“Nights in Rodanthe:” Adrienne Willis (Diane Lane), a woman with her life in chaos, retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe in North Carolina to tend to a friend’s inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her — a wayward husband who has asked to come home, and a teenaged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and Dr. Paul Flanner (Richard Gere) arrives. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives. (PG-13: for some sensuality)
“Eagle Eye:” This race-against-time thriller stars Shia LaBeouf, Michelle Monaghan, Rosario Dawson, Anthony Mackie and Billy Bob Thornton. Jerry Shaw (LaBeouf) and Rachel Holloman (Monaghan) are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations — using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move. As the situation escalates, these two ordinary people become the country’s most wanted fugitives, who must work together to discover what is really happening — and more importantly, why. (PG-13: intense sequences of action and violence, and for language)
“Igor:” This playfully irreverent comedy brings a new twist to the classic monster genre. It tells the story of a mad scientist’s hunchbacked lab assistant who has big dreams of becoming a scientist in his own right and winning the coveted first-place award at the annual Evil Science Fair. Voiced featured in this animated film are John Cusack, Molly Shannon, Jay Leno, Arsenio Hall, John Cleese and others. (PG: for some thematic elements, scary images, action and mild language)
“My Best Friend’s Girl:” Smart, beautiful and headstrong, Alexis is the girl of Dustin’s dreams. But after only five weeks of dating, the lovestruck Dustin is coming on so strong that Alexis is forced to slow things down — permanently. Devastated and desperate to get her back, Dustin turns to his best friend, Tank, the rebound specialist. A master at seducing, and offending, women, Tank gets hired by freshly dumped guys to take their ex-girlfriends out on the worst date of their lives — an experience so horrible it sends them running gratefully back to their beaus. (R: for strong language and sexual content throughout, including graphic dialogue and some nudity)
