To sum up today's releases: a few big stars, fewer hopes.

*Nacho Libre
This one comes from the makers of the cult favorite Napoleon Dynamite and stars the more-famous half of Tenacious D, Jack Black. Yeah, it’s probably a little crude and not as funny as the previews, but we’ll go see it anyway. Because being Mexican is hi-larious.

Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
Bill Murray agreed to be the voice of a computer-generated Garfield. Again. Apparently, he’s just really, really bored with life.

Fall to Grace
Check out the Austinist review. That pretty much says it all.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
We’re gonna go out on a limb here and guess that your teenage brother wants to see this movie. Ah, well. Everyone needs a little culture.

The Lake House
So there’s this lake house, and Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves live in it, but they’re living in it two whole years apart, so they communicate via a “magic” mailbox, and it totally makes no freaking sense at all, and Dennis Hopper has planted a bomb on a bus that can’t go under 50 mph or else…wait. Which movie are we talking about again?

The Lost City
Guess what? Bill Murray’s in this one, too. Yup. Totally bored with life.

Wah-Wah
Not many films are set in Swaziland. Which shouldn’t be confused with Switzerland. Yeah, that was an unfortunate mistake last family vacation.

*Austinist recommends. We also recommend these fine cinematic experiences: The Break-Up, Friends with Money, An Inconvenient Truth, A Prairie Home Companion, The Puffy Chair, Thank You for Smoking

    when i saw the Lake House preview i thought it was a set-up for a gag. i guess it was, of sorts.

  • Bre

    No, Zach. I shouldn't see all these movies. No one should see all these movies.

  • Zach

    Bre, shouldn't you see all the movies first? I mean it would only take one day or so and you could do this at Alamo drafthouse too!

  • Tom

    Nacho Libre is pretty good as long as you are down with lots of Napoleon Dynamite-style silliness. There's no plot, it's just gags, but I laughed quite a lot. So, yeah, there.
