Coming soon [January 2009]

Bride Wars (Wide)
Liv and Emma are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates--they're now to be married on the same date!--Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won't settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled. Now, the two best friends who'd do anything for each other find themselves in a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners struggle that threatens to erupt into all-out war.

Not Easily Broken (Wide)
Dave and Clarice Johnson are in their second decade of marriage. Dave’s dreams of major league baseball success were dashed by an injury in college, leading him to a steady but unfulfilling career as the head of a small construction firm. Clarice is basking in the glow of real estate stardom, creating a life that revolves around her rise to the top. She has become blind to Dave’s needs, the most important being his desire to become a father and start a family with her. They face a total disruption in their lives when a car crash seriously injures Clarice, whose meddling mother, Mary, blames Dave for her daughter’s leg injuries and derailed career. Help comes in the form of kind-hearted physical therapist and single mom Julie Sawyer, whose son Bryson is coached by Dave and his pals Brock and Tree in Little League baseball. Though Clarice is helped by Julie’s care, she becomes concerned that her constant criticism of Dave has pushed her husband away--possibly into the arms of the empathetic Julie. Soon Dave and Clarice must face a married couple’s most serious questions: are we really meant to be together, and if we are, how do we fight to keep what we have built as man and wife?

Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, Saoirse Ronan, Harry Treadaway, Martin Landau, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Toby Jones, Mary Kay Place

PG for thematic material involving teens, some reckless behavior and language

-For generations, the people of the City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights - underground. Built as a refuge for humanity and powered by a massive generator - this city will only sustain for 200 years. Now Ember is falling into darkness as the generator fails, and the dazzling lights begin to flicker and fade.

Despite growing concern for the future of their beloved city, Ember's students find themselves confronting the next step in their lives. A rite of passage for all graduates, it is Assignment Day, the day on which the Mayor himself will stand before the graduating students as they choose, by lottery, how they will spend their lives working for their society. Lina, praying with all her might to be a messenger, is appalled to be assigned to the Pipeworks, the vast network of pipes underneath the city. Her classmate, Doon Harrow, who wants more than nothing else to work in the Generator, panics when he pulls the messenger assignment. The Pipeworks isn't the Generator, but it is close enough and Doon offers to swap assignments with Lina. She is thrilled and grateful and eagerly changes jobs. Thus, an unlikely friendship is born, one that, as it blossoms, will change the course of all the lives in Ember.

Lina takes easily to the job of messenger and finds herself zipping all over Ember, delivering important missives to even more important people, including the mayor himself. At home she cares for her aging and forgetful grandmother, and her baby sister Poppy. When an old metal box is discovered in their closet, Lina's grandmother is overjoyed. Completely sure that the contents of the box are of the utmost importance, she is completely bereft of any memory as to why.
Lina manages to jimmy the lock open, and discovers some cryptic and decrepit papers inside. Unable to piece the papers together, Lina resolves to decipher their meaning and enlists Doon's help.

As blackouts in the city become more frequent, Lina and Doon realize that the information inside that box could lead to the salvation of their city and their fellow citizens. Now racing against the clock, the two follow the clues, cleverly maneuvering around corrupt politicians and unsavory characters hoping to keep them from their goal: restoring the light in the CITY OF EMBER.

A Walden Media presentation of a Playtone production, this heart-thumping, edge-of-your seat adventure boasts an impressive cast and crew of acclaimed, award-winning talent. CITY OF EMBER was directed by Gil Kenan (Academy Award® nominee for "Monster House"), and was produced by Playtone's Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman. Recent Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan ("Atonement") as Lina leads an impressive cast that also includes Academy Award® nominee Bill Murray, in the role of the larger than life Mayor of Ember, Harry Treadaway ("Control") as Doon, Academy Award nominee Marianne Jean-Baptiste ("Secrets & Lies") as Clary, and Toby Jones ("Infamous") as Barton Snode, the Mayor of Ember's right hand man. Academy Award® winner Tim Robbins plays Loris Harrow, father of Doon, and Academy Award® winner Martin Landau appears as Sol, the Pipeworks gauge minder. The film is from a script written by Caroline Thompson ("Edward Scissorhands") based on the best-selling novel by Jeanne Duprau.

The creative production team includes Academy Award® nominated costume designer Ruth Myers ("Emma," "The Addams Family"), Academy Award® winning senior special effects supervisor Kit West ("Raiders of the Lost Ark"), Academy Award® nominated special effects set supervisor John Evans ("Moonraker"), production designer Martin Laing ("Titanic"), cinematographer Xavier Perez Grobet ("Before Night Falls"), supervising art director Joe Billington ("Pearl Harbor," "Troy") and art director James Foster ("Children of Men.")-

thankz 4 da list of latest movies

Comment by deesky on September 12, 2008 at 2:55pm

It’s September, which means that the summer movie season is officially over and the crap of Hollywood can make it to the big screen. September is historically a bad month for movies, as kids return to school, vacations end and people scramble for the remnants of good weather. This is also the perfect time for studios to dump the waste onto audiences.

Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean there will be nothing to watch this September. Below is a list of movies I’m looking forward to in September:

1. Burn After Reading - September 8
In their follow-up to the Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men, the Coen brothers return with a crime comedy that looks pitch perfect. Brad Pitt, with zany hair, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton and George Clooney are among the cast of misfits. The Coen brothers do idiotic characters well, and this movie is chock full of them. The trailers have been funny, and I foresee this doing good business.
2. Towelhead - September 12 (limited) / September 26 (wide)
Alan Ball, best known for writing American Beauty (one of my favorites), returns to write and direct this movie about youth and racism in suburbia. The film focuses on an Arab-American teenager who is starting to discover her sexuality (and that her creepy neighbor, played by Aaron Eckhart, has the hots for her) and that even when you’re all American, you won’t necessarily be viewed as such. The trailer isn’t as powerful as I would have liked, but I’ve heard good things and the subject is definitely interesting.
3. Lakeview Terrace - September 19
A hit-or-miss concept, this movie is about a mixed race couple who move into a suburban neighborhood. Unfortunately, their next-door neighbor (Samuel L. Jackson) isn’t exactly fond of their presence, and starts to harass them. Tensions raise and retaliation escalates, but the cops are useless: after all, the neighbor is one. I love the concept, and Patrick Wilson leading up the film, Little Children comes to mind. Again, this is one of those movies that could just be absurdly stupid, but it sure looks pretty good.
4. Righteous Kill - September 12
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino team up as police officers investigating a serial killer who murders criminals. Loyalties are torn as all evidence points to another police officer as the culprit, and the fact that the guy is in some ways helping them out isn’t exactly a motivating force. Trailers have been surprisingly weak for the film and the fact that it’s being released in early September doesn’t bode well, but I love me a good serial killer film - and the teaming of two acting greats is hard to pass up.
5. Eagle Eye - September 26
Shia LaBeouf continues his efforts to be the ultimate action star in Eagle Eye, which also stars Billy Bob Thornton and Michelle Monaghan. LaBeouf and Monaghan both become unwilling players in a game of cat and mouse, as they are setup by an unseen group of criminals and forced to do whatever they are told. The rather revealing trailers leave a lot of questions on the table, but there is the suggestion that there is a bigger plot and work (I’m thinking political assassination). The marketing has been good and prominent, suggestion the studio thinks this one could be big, but only time will tell. Still, this should be one of the biggest films of early fall.
6. Choke - September 26 (limited)
Chuck Palahniuk, the author behind Fight Club, finds another one of his books being adapted into a film, this time the Sam Rockwell-starring movie Choke, about a sex addict who finds true love. The movie looks vulgar, R-rated and funny, and his legion of fans should help make this film some money. Still, the appeal will be rather niche, and I’m not sure if the trailers have been memorable enough.
7. The Duchess - September 19 (limited)
The presence of Kiera Knightley is enough to drive me to theaters, but The Duchess looks pretty good. A period piece about a woman who is married to a rich dude (Ralph Fiennes) but who gets involved in politics in an age where women were merely meant to supply babies, the movie looks to have some decent drama. Nevertheless, the September release date suggests that this film - which really won’t make much money - isn’t strong enough to compete with the big boys later in the year.
8. Miracle at St. Anna - September 26
Spike Lee continues to expand his focus with a World War II film about a bunch of American soldiers - many of them black - who take refuge in a small Italian village when they are surrounded by Germans. Beyond that, it’s hard to determine exactly what the movie is about. The trailer does a great job of showing things without revealing the overall plot (it starts off with a murder twenty years later), and that has me intrigued.
9. Battle in Seattle - September 19 (limited)
It’s rare that Seattle, my location of residence, gets much notice in Hollywood, but the WTO riots of 1999 (I was in high school at the time) are good fodder for a film. The movie examines the politicians, police officers and protestors involved in the craziness, and packed with a lot of well known names (ranging from Ray Liotta to Charlize Theron), Battle in Seattle shows promise. I do find it funny that one of the taglines that is used in the trailer is, “The event that changed a city,” since I’m pretty sure that once everything was cleaned up, nothing really changed. Still, if only for the fact that this movie is about a real event in Seattle that I lived through, I’m interested.
10. Ghost Town - September 19
This is probably one to wait for until DVD, but Ghost Town, starring Greg Kinnear as a ghost, Tea Leoni as his ex-wife and the funny guy from the British version of “The Office,” looks quite amusing. It’s about time that Ricky Gervais gets a leading role; I really hope this one helps jump start his career, as the guy is a riot.
11. Bangkok Dangerous - September 5
OK, I said “10 Movies to See in September 2008,” so what the hell is Bangkok Dangerous doing on here… in eleventh place. The assassin movie starring Nicolas Cage really doesn’t look good at all - or at least formulaic as shit - so I wanted to include it for the sole reason of pointing it out. If I’m really desperate for a film, this one could be entertaining, but I’m definitely planning on waiting until DVD for this one.
12. My Best Friend’s Girl - September 19
I’m pretty sure Dane Cook made this movie last year, and it was called Good Luck Chuck. That movie didn’t exactly fare well among critics or audiences. This one looks about the same, except for this time Cook plays a jackass who guys pay to date their ex-girlfriends to convince them that they were better off before. Jason Biggs foolishly hires the much better-looking Cook to date his ex (Kate Hudson), and of course Cook and Hudson fall in love. Hilarity ensues. Maybe.
