November movie preview

by Jason Gibner

So it’s November, the election is over, you have to start spending lots of “family time,” it’s getting really freakin’ cold out and that all means only one thing: it’s time to go hide out in a dark movie theater and shove some popcorn in your mouth. Still you ask, “But what can I go see? Isn’t it all just noisy propaganda crap out there?” Well, we here at The Ann Arbor Paper have heard your cries, and while plenty of crap is still in theaters, some big-screen beauties will be out there to be found. Like what you ask?

November 5
Alfie Jude Law in a watered down remake of the old mod Michael Caine classic. Isn’t this like Jude Law’s tenth movie this year? Oh wait, who gives a rat’s ass?
The Incredibles Pixar makes every 7-year-old boy and 27-year-old nerd’s wet dream an-on screen reality.

November 10
The Polar Express Okay, is this a horror movie or what? As if Tom Hanks isn’t creepy enough, now we have wax face CG animated Tom Hanks to visit us in our nightmares.

November 12
The Ringer Johnny Knoxville pretends to have Down Syndrome to compete in the Special Olympics. ‘Nuff said.
Seed Of Chucky Chucky returns and by this we are blessed. John Waters has a cameo and suffers a brutal on-screen death. Jennifer Tilly plays herself. Like Fantasy Island on crack.
Finding Neverland Johnny Depp plays J.M. Barrie, the eccentric creator of Peter Pan. Hell, anything is better than seeing gorilla hair-fest chest Robin Williams flying around.
Kinsey Liam Neeson talks about sex. If only he could do it while rockin’ that Qui Gon Jinn wig!

November 19
Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason Squishy faced Renee Zellweger reprises the role that made women who watch Oprah and two-fisted Jack White fall in love with her.
National Treasure Bloated idiot Nick Cage solves the riddle of the back of the $1 bill!! Oooh! Stupid! It’s like Adaptation never happened.
SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Can anyone explain this thing to me?

November 24
Alexander Oliver Stone returns with Colin Farrell as “the great.” Val Kilmer is in it too! Will the mystical Indian return? Christmas with the Kranks I’d rather die.

November 26
A Very Long Engagement Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and star Audrey Tautou reunite in this period drama. No gnomes this time.

Being Julia Annette Benning overacts her way through her big screen comeback. Good job, now get in the car with Sharon Stone and get out. Tell Stone she owes me five bucks for Catwoman. A2P
