FILM: New to the Box Office - 7/27/07

The Simpsons Movie

Doh! It's finally here. All you die hard Simpsons fans are getting exactly what you've been waiting for. The plot apparently revolves around toxic pig poop. Oh yeah! They are digging deep within their funny bones to give you the biggest and best laughs you've ever gotten. It is literally fun for the whole family. Enjoy.


No Reservations

In this Raising Helen-type remake, Catherine Zeta Jones gets hit pretty hard when her sister dies and she has to take care of her niece. Being a top chef, she already has enough on her plate. The grief has gotten to her so much that her boss and the customers are starting to question her culinary expertise. It isn't until she meets a care free chef (Aaron Eckhart) that she learns how to lighten up and communicate with her depressed niece, who ironically refuses to eat. One could argue that there's no way Eckhart could ever score a babe like Jones and there won't be any chemistry, but Eckhart does have charisma so we'll see. Zoe Kravitz, the daughter of rock star Lenny, makes her film debut as Abigail Breslin's nanny. In playing Jones' niece, Breslin continues on her quest to be the next Dakota Fanning--without turning irrelevant--and plays the heartbroken orphan so well Angelina might try to adopt her.


I Know Who Killed Me

I'm pretty sure you've had enough of Lindsay Lohan for one lifetime. But if by some chance you are immune to her insane behavior, here's the plot: A college student, Aubrey, has a class assignment revolving around the abduction of a stripper right before she is abducted and tortured by a serial killer. When she escapes and wakes up in the hospital, she's convinced she's the stripper and that Aubrey is still in danger. It's twisted and it's a plot cooked up by a first time writer. But it just might be interesting enough to make people want to find out what the truth is. I know my interest is peeked.
