New Releases, 12 January 2009

It's a fresh New Movie Tuesday in a fresh new year!  We've packed a ton of highly recommended movies into this week, so let's get to it...

MOON

Great suspenseful, quasi-philosophical sci-fi starring Sam Rockwell as a lone moon miner.  Played at Ragtag.

BIG FAN

Comedian Patton Oswalt puts in an acclaimed performance as a sports-obsessed loser.  Written and directed by the writer of THE WRESTLER, played at Ragtag and well worth a watch.

IN THE LOOP

Hilarious, smart ensemble comedy about the lead-up to an unnamed invasion, and the mishaps that occur along the way.  Also played at Ragtag.

THE HURT LOCKER

On nearly everyone's top 10 lists, critically acclaimed war flick from Kathryn Bigelow.  Want to guess where it played?...hint: it rhymes with Sagbag

PASSING STRANGE

The critically- and audience-beloved autobiographical musical, written and starring Stew and directed by Mr. Spike Lee

AMREEKA

Immigrants from the West Bank arrive in Illinois, to try and make a new life

NUN OF THAT

"Sister Kelly Wrath is a nun with a temper problem.  After being gunned down in an alley, she is selected by God to join the Order of the Black Habit, a group of supernatural vigilante nuns on a mission to rub out the mob.  But first, Moses, Gandhi and Jesus have a few challenges up their sleeves for her..."

FAME

You know the story.  New version of the classic musical.

TYLER PERRY'S I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF

Tyler Perry's back with another heartfelt morality fable with attitude

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

Low-budget halloween sensation, about a possibly haunted house and the pair that live there...

Hope you enjoy the offerings, and have a great week!
