New Movies 2/13 -- Get your date movie on!
NEW TO THEATERS 2/13

Friday the 13th -- Watch the trailer. Did you know that hospitals are busiest on full moons? Yeah, weird but true. Do you know what buildings are busiest on Friday the 13th? Tents and cabins in the wilderness. Weird, huh?

The International -- Watch the trailer. I've heard some rumors that this is suprisingly good. I'm intrigued by the premise, that a large multi-national bank would use its (our) funds to support terrorists and other criminals. And hey, two winners heading the show: Naomi Watts and Clive Owen.

Confessions of a Shopaholic -- Watch the trailer. Hmm. I haven't read the book, but I have bought it several times. Anyone looking forward to this?

Two Lovers (limited) -- Watch the trailer. Did you know that Joaquin Phoenix has retired from acting? It's true. And now for something that's not true: Two Lovers is the first installment in a teen-fantasy-based trilogy, completed by I Beat Up the Bully In Front of Everyone and I Win The Talent Show With My Own Power Ballad.

Gomorrah (limited) -- Watch the trailer. This mafia movie set in modern-day Naples won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, and its American release is sponsored by Martin Scorsese. This movie looks like it can boast authenticity from its head to its toes...three of the actors are tied to mob activity, and the author of Gomorrah (the book this is based on) has been living under 24-hour protection since the book's release.
NEW TO DVD 2/10
Blindness -- Watch the trailer. Sort of like Children of Men, but is it as good? Listen to Filmcouch.
Burn After Reading -- Watch the trailer.
Foot Fist Way -- Watch the trailer. I liked this one a lot. Listen to the review.
Frozen River -- Watch the trailer. Won Grand Jury Prize for Best Dramatic Feature at Sundance 2008.
Miracle at St. Anna -- Watch the trailer. Just a heads-up, I haven't heard one good thing about this movie.
Son of Rambow -- Watch the trailer.
Soul Men -- Watch the trailer. The final film performances of Isaak Hayes and Bernie Mac.
W. -- Watch the trailer. Eh, it was so-so.
