What’s opening Friday, Oct. 31?
So what does Halloween bring us? In terms of new scary movies, not much.
The Haunting of Molly Hartley: Another teen-geared PG-13 “horror” movie? Geez, didn’t this subgenre die two or three years ago? The only reason it caught my eye was that it stars Haley Bennett, who was very appealing as the Britney/Christina-esque singer in the Drew Barrymore/Hugh Grant charmer Music and Lyrics. Well … I THOUGHT her career had promise.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno: Fear not that last word in the title. Kevin Smith’s new movie is much more romantic than smutty. Review posts Friday.
At the Arthouses
The Neon opens Jonathan Demme’s Rachel Getting Married, which I am extremely anxious to see because of all the buzz around Anne Hathaway’s performance. Seems she’s proving to people what thought for years: that she’s a first-rate actress and not just an appealing ingenue.
Religulous continues its run. The theater is also playing Mr. Smith’s Clerks and Jesus Christ Superstar as part of local film festivals. See their Web site for details.
The Little Art Theatre sports much the same lineup as last week: A Man Named Pearl, Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson and Religulous. The also have Jesus Christ Superstar.
The Holiday Auto Theatre drive-in in Hamilton has its terror lineup, with a quintuple feature of Plan 9 from Outer Space, Friday the 13th Part 2, Saw V, The Texas Chainsaw Masscare (remake), and Halloween (the 2007 version).
