| The Twilight Saga: New Moon / * (PG-13) | |
| “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” (PG-13, 130 minutes). The characters in this movie should be arrested for loitering with intent to moan. The sequel to "Twilight" (1988) is preoccupied with remember that film and setting up the third one. sitting through this experience is like driving a tractor in low gear though a sullen sea of Brylcreem. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson return in their original roles, she dewy and masochistic, he sullen and manacing. Ah, teenage romance! One star | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans / **** (R) | |
| "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans"(R, 107 minutes) Werner Herzog stars Nicolas Cage in a dire portrait of a rapist, murderer, drug addict, corrupt cop and degenerate paranoid who is apprehensive about iguanas. It places this man in a devastated New Orleans not long after Hurricane Katrina. It makes no attempt to show that city of legends in a flattering light. And it gradually reveals itself as a sly comedy about a rather courageous man. Cage and Herzog were born to work together. Four stars | RogerEbert Headlines |
| The Messenger / ***1/2 (R) | |
| "The Messenger" (R, 107 minutes) Two Army officers draw the hard duty of notifying the next of kin of a death in combat. Woody Harrelson plays the old hand at breaking the news. Ben Foster, plays the new man, wounded in combat in Iraq. He has a tendency to care about the people he's informing. Not Army policy, the veteran explains. You'll lose it if you let yourself care. With Samantha Morton as a new widow and Steve Buscemi as a father whose grief turns to anger. Directed by Oren Moverman, himself a combat veteran in the Israeli army. Three and a half stars | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Planet 51 / **1/2 (PG) | |
| "Planet 51" (PG, 91 minutes) Although not bowling me over, this is a jolly and good-looking animated feature in glorious 2-D. There's a twist: This time the alien is a human, and he lands on a planet occupied by little green men. On his world everyone speaks English, it's Fabulous Fifties, and the rain is made of rocks. Perfectly pleasant as kiddie entertainment. Two and a half stars | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Great Movie: Nosferatu (1922) | |
| To watch F.W. Murnau's "Nosferatu" (1922) is to see the vampire movie before it had really seen itself. Here is the story of Dracula before it was buried alive in cliches, jokes, TV skits, cartoons and more than 30 other films. The film is in awe of its material. It seems to really believe in vampires. | RogerEbert Headlines |
Movie Answer Man: 'Antichrist': The video game that
starts where the movie ends | |
| Q. Given your admiration of "Antichrist" and your distaste for video games, do you have any thoughts on the reported video game sequel, called "Eden."? When you asked me, I said my shot-in-the-dark guess is that it would be a dark, moody, horror-themed game wherein you played some random character trapped in the forest, attempting to survive or escape through solving puzzles and finding the correct "passageways." And then, of course, there's the possibility that the article was just a hoax to start with.
Steven Koczak, Rensselaer, NY
A. First off, I do not dislike video games. But I'm in hot water for not believing they are likely to evolve into an art form.
Wikipedia reports: "According to the Danish newspaper Politiken, a video game called 'Eden,' which is based on the film, is in the works. It will start where the film ends. 'It will be a self-therapeutic journey into your own darkest fears, and will break the boundaries of what you can and can't do in video games,' says video game director Morten Iversen."
I'm thinking, "self-therapeutic?" | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Commentary: Oprah takes it to another level | |

You have no legislative power, but the leaders of both political parties consult with you and advise you of their plans. | RogerEbert Headlines |
Commentary: High-spirited defense
of the artistry of 3-D | |
| by By Peter Debruge
Guest Columnist
Dear Roger,
I value your opinion, but question your reporting on this anti-3-D essay you've written for The Spectator [London]. Movies do earn more in 3-D (I don't have the statistics in front of me, but I know that "Coraline" earned 85% of its box office on 3-D screens, and I suspect that all four of the films you cite did at least half their business in the format). To the best of my knowledge, Pixar does not have technology "that can convert any 2-D movie into 3-D from scratch." And DreamWorks' "Kung Fu Panda" was made and released in 2-D; "Monsters vs. Aliens" was the studio's first in 3-D. | RogerEbert Headlines |

In a race against the clock, Bella learns the secret of the Quileutes and Edward’s true motivation for leaving her. She also faces the prospect of a potentially deadly reunion with her beloved that is a far cry from the one she’d hoped for.

| Extraordinary Measures - Trailer 1 | Tue, Nov 17 12:00 AM |
| Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell star in “Extraordinary Measures” for CBS Films, the film division within CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS). The project, which wrapped principal photography in mid-June 2009, was the first film to go into production for CBS Films. Ford is also executive producer on the project. Tom Vaughan (“Starter for 10,” “What Happens in Vegas”) is directing. In the tradition of great inspirational dramas like the Academy Award nominated film “Erin Brockovich” and “The Pursuit of Happyness,” “Extraordinary Measures” is inspired by the true story of John Crowley, a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds, and risked his family’s future to pursue a cure for his children’s life threatening disease. From his working class roots, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time. But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test - the outcome of which will affect the fate of John’s children. | Latest Movie Trailers |

| "Staten Island" not worth the trip
(Reuters)
| Thu, Nov 19 11:33 PM |
| Reuters - Staten Island is regarded as New York's bastard stepchild of a borough, and unfortunately, this film is unlikely to enhance its reputation. A Tarantino-influenced crime drama featuring a tripartite story line that is far too precious for its own good, "Staten Island" will do nonexistent business in theaters after it opens Friday (November 20), but should garner video and television exposure thanks to its reasonably well-known cast. | Yahoo!

The Host | |

Starring:
Bong Joon-Ho
Review:

You're Gonna Miss Me | |
|
Starring:
Billy Gibbons, Patti Smith
Review:
This documentary traces the life of Roky Erickson, a pioneer of
60s psych-rock whose life becomes ruined by smoke, smack and
schizophrenia. It?s a familiar arc, sure, but the clichés
are averted when the focus turns to the cause of his madness: his
bat-shit crazy mother.
