Tomorrow marks the first weekend of November, and November marks the beginning of Christmas fever. When people realize that Christmas music is playing on the radio, they have the urge to spend more money, and going to the movies is no exception. Openings this week are:
Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa- I enjoy cartoon/animated films (something not to be confused with kid movies, they’re entirely different things). Granted I’ve only seen a few parts of the first Madagascar, and found the only enjoyable part to be the penguins, but there is something about this movie that looks like it will have the exact same formula to it: B/C list celebrities voice animals + hysterical penguins + horrid animation = mediocre animated movie.
Role Models- A product of one of the funniest members of the Apatow crew, Paul Rudd stars in a movie written by himself and childhood friend David Wain (also directs). Sean William-Scott makes a comeback to sex-comedy (since the last thing I saw him in was Southland Tales, I liked it, so send me your hate mail). The early reviews coming back are decent enough to warrant a viewing, at the very least a wait til DVD.
Soul Men- By now we’re all familiar with watching an actor we know to be dead on the screen (RIP Heath Ledger), but now comes a project from the recently deceased Bernie Mac. Mac stars with Samuel L. Jackson (insert your own Sam Jackson is in everything joke here) as they take on the roles of former musicians who have decided to go on a farewell tour of sort. The movie doesn’t look promising, and isn’t Bernie Mac’s last starring role so you can not feel guilty about skipping it.

In short, it's "three movies you shouldn't see over Zack and Miri" weekend.
