Now Playing: Gay Zombies, Role Models and Zoo Animals

Just opened, from least to most screens... roughly. Links go to trailers

JCVD in which the Muscles From Brussels plays himself all washed up in some sort of pseudo-doc like comedy biopic? Very strange... but it might make an interesting warm up to The Wrestler, in a way, might it not? But the real question is 'can Van Damme still do the splits while fighting in his undies?' If so: sold.
Otto; or Up with Dead People in which Bruce LaBruce (of must see fringe cinema like The Raspberry Reich) tries to scare up the horror crowd and then torture them with undead gay sex
Pray the Devil Back to Hell a in which women struggle to bring peace to civil war plagued Liberia (documentary)
The World Unseen in which two women fall in love in South Africa during the early days of Apartheid

Repo: The Genetic Opera in which stunt-casted names (Giles from Buffy, a certain hotel heiress, Andrew Lloyd Webber's ex, rock stars, etc...) rock their way towards intended cult movie glory in this busy bloody story of organ theft terror. Unfortunately clips suggest a major ear sore. At least our Giles can sing...
The Boy in Striped Pajamas in which two young boys separated by the barbed wire of a concentration camp fence, forge a friendship. With Vera Farmiga and David Thewlis
House in which two stranded couples are terrorized in a satanic motel
Soul Men in which Samuel L Jackson and Bernie Mac (RIP) do road trip comedy on their way to the Apollo Theater for a reunion concert

Role Models in which adorably dim Seann William Scott and just plain adorable Paul Rudd are forced into Big Brother type community service. Directed by David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer) so it might actually be hilarious
Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa in which the giraffe, hippo, zebra and lion are reunited for another madcap adventure that one marvels is not a DVD knockoff sequel but an actual movie playing on (gulp) 4,056 screens

Expanding: Jonathan Demme's vibrant Rachel Getting Married added over 200 screens so it should be easier for some of you to catch my latest cinematic obsession. Happy-Go-Lucky and Synechdoche New York both moved into extra markets as well. Warning on the latter two: If intensely cheerful souls OR pathetic miserabilists enrage/annoy you these aren't the movies for you as both films definitely follow the lead of their main character's worldview. But both have ardent fans, too. More on both later I hope.
