WEEKEND FIRST: Weekly Movie Comings & Goings
 
By Tony Rutherford
Huntingtonnews.net Entertainment Editor
 
Huntington, WV (HNN) – As the month of August opens, cinemas are beginning to open screens to some special interest flicks, such as indies and those that have achieved good word of mouth at film festivals.
 
For instance, Marquee Pullman will test the waters this week with “The Kids Are All Right,” which stars Julianne Moore, Annette Bening, and Mark Ruffalo. This family comedy has a creative complication --- Nic and Jules have been in a long term committee lesbian relationship. They have two teens, Joni and Laser (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson). They are half siblings conceived with the same sperm donor father.
 
Once the teens meet their father Paul (Mark Ruffalo) , Nic and Jules agree to meet him too. How will the family dynamic change now that a “dad” has been introduced into a family raised by two single moms?
 


 
SCHMUCKS
 
Embarking on his first film since the mega-successful “Hangover,” Jay Roach directs this eccentric comedy in which rising executives are invited to bring idiots, losers, and those with quirks to a monthly dinner with the boss. Tim (Paul Rudd) plays an executive who bring a messed up IRS agent (Steve Carell) to the event. The diners are engaged in a type of competition to bring the biggest buffoon and/or loser to the monthly table. This is a re-make of a French film.
 
CATS AND DOGS
 
A hybrid of live action with animation depicts the ongoing battles between the dogs and cats. The family friendly talking animal movie will be shown in 3D at most theatres.
 

 
CHARLIE ST CLOUD
 
Charlie (Zac Efron) deals with the death of his younger brother , Sam, by working as a caretaking at the cemetery at which he is buried. Charlie and Sam have nightly conversations and play catch. Then, a female (Amanda Crew) enters Charlie’s life.

HEAD UP, ENDS SOON WARNINGS* The 3D schedule will remain tight with “Step Up 3D” Aug. 6 and Piranha 3D on August 20. And Afterlife (Resident Evil sequel) September 10. This will put “revolving door” pressures on hold over 3D fare (i.e. Toy Story, Despicable Me, and Last Airbender. Expect Twilight: Eclipse to leave the big screen soon also, along with Predators, Grown Ups, Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and even Ramona and Beezus.
 


 
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ…. Angelina Jolie comes off as a female James Bond in a Russian spy action adventure. The problem --- we aren’t really that deep into Russian spies anymore. The Cold War ended in the 80s. Your liking of Jolie as a kick-butt action hero will determine your like or dislike……,. Did you know that “Dinner for Schmucks” is a remake of a clever French comedy classic? Will this “Dinner Game” prove funny…. One pre screen viewer writes, “It was literally one of the funniest movies I have seen in my entire life. You will not be disappointed …… Middle Men sounds like a crime caper, instead it’s about two business men (Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi) as the first internet entrepreneurs to sell adult entertainment on the web…… Like to play, hit or flop? The Expendables, which has Sylvester Stallone in one of those mercenary movies has gotten a few vibes both ways. Yet the cast (some in cameo) includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce willis, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, and Dolph Lundgren.
