What’s opening Friday, July 10?
Movies settle back into their normal Friday slot for a week, representing sort of a calm before next Wednesday’s Harry Potter storm.
Bruno: Sacha Baron Cohen, AKA Borat, pushes more hot buttons again, bringing his flamboyantly gay fashionista to the big screen and embarrassing everyone who crosses his path. Reviews are mostly positive; but I have a feeling this won’t match Borat’s success. My review posts Friday.
I Love You, Beth Cooper: Director Chris Columbus’ first film as a director was Adventures in Babysitting; he returns to teen comedy with this story about a geeky valedictorian (Paul Rust) who declares his undying love for the class hottie played by Hayden Panettiere. So far its scored a whopping zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Granted, that’s based on seven reviews, but still - not so lucky.

The Neon hangs on to its current lineup of Woody Allen’s solid Whatever Works, (reviewed here) and Sam Mendes’ also solid Away We Go (reviewed here). The Little Art opens its exclusive engagement of the acclaimed sci-fi film Moon.

My daughter’s counting the days until Wednesday… Me, one of the most eagerly awaited films is Moon. And that’s not just because its star, Sam Rockwell, was born on the exact same date as me. (11/5/68, the day Nixon was elected — yes, Rockwell was in Frost/Nixon)
