November Coming Attractions

ENTERTAINMENT - The biggest film of November is sure to be part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which is coming out November 19th with part two coming out in July 2011.

But while you eagerly await part one and part two (or maybe you hate Harry Potter altogether) there is also a slew of other films you might want to go see.

November 10
Morning Glory
Starring - Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton
Plot - A television producer tries to fix an ailing morning-news show by settling the feud between its anchors.
Our Comments - Totally want to see this just because Harrison Ford is in a comedy role.




November 12
127 Hours
Starring - James Franco
Plot - A young American hiker gets trapped under a boulder for 127 hours.
Our Comments - Hmm. The trailer starts off with a bicycle, but then it all goes to hell. Potentially good, potentially awful.




Skyline
Starring - Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson
Plot - Alien ships appear over Los Angeles and begin sucking people up like a giant vacuum cleaner.
Our Comments - Umm... so how are they supposed to fight back in this War of the Worlds scenario? If this ends with the aliens dying from a bacteria virus or a computer virus being uploaded and destroying the mothership then you should ask for your money back.




Unstoppable
Starring - Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson
Plot - A train engineer and a conductor try to stop a runaway train filled with hazardous materials from destroying a city
Our Comments - Don't you hate when the trailer gives away the whole plot and even the ending?




November 19
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Starring - Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes
Plot - Harry Potter and his two best friends hunt for the Dark Lord's horcruxes so he can be defeated in the final battle between good and evil.
Our Comments - If you don't know who Harry Potter is go watch the first 6 films already!




November 24
Burlesque
Starring - Christina Aguilera, Cher, Kristen Bell
Plot - A young girl from Iowa travels to Los Angeles to become a star in a neo-burlesque club.
Our Comments - Rather sleazy. Hollywood is just trying to cash in on the latest sex fad. First it was pole dancing, now its burlesque. Cher should be ashamed of herself.




Faster
Starring - Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton
Plot - A beefy ex-con goes on a revenge spree to avenge the murder of his brother and the body count stacks up in a hurry.
Our Comments - Americans sure love their revenge movies. Its no wonder most Americans believe in an eye for an eye.




Love and Other Drugs
Starring - Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway
Plot - A sexy romance between a free-spirited young woman and a pharmaceutical salesman who introduces Viagra.
Our Comments - Lets ignore the fact that this is really just a big ad for Viagra. The rest of the movie looks like a nice romantic comedy... although we should note the trailer gives away the ending. Oh well.




Tangled
Starring - Voices by Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi
Plot - A young thief mistakenly hides in Rapunzel's tower and introduces her to the world outside.
Our Comments - Aladdin remake essentially. Chalk up another Disney Princess on the wall.




November 26
Made in Dagenham
Starring - Sally Hawkins, Bob Hawkins
Plot - A group of female machinists at a Ford plant in the U.K. fight for equal pay for women.
Our Comments - Probably deserves an Oscar or two. Definitely a must see.




Also in November:

Kisses
Plot - Two kids run away from home and have a series of misadventures.



Monsters
Plot - Giant mutant-alien monsters rampage on land and sea.




Waste Land
Plot - An artist and people who live in the world's largest garbage dump create art.
