Good Hair
Sit Back And Relaxer
Trailers & Mo | Official Website
Chris Rock be funny as a human being, but not so much lately in anything with a script attached to it. Good thing then that Good Hair is real life shiz with Rock going round the globe frolicking in follicles and talking to peoples, famous (Al Sharpton, Nia Long, Maya Angelou, Ice-T and a very scary Raven-Symoné) and everyday folk about African-American hair and the big bidness that surrounds it. It’s more humorous than a knowledgeable documentary, but who farkin cares when Chris Rock is in freestyle mode and set loose upon the Bronner Bros International Hair & Beauty Show, which may be the mos abstract and redonkeyballsulous things wees have ever seen since that the fashion show in David Byrne’s True Stories

The Damned United
In A Premier League of Their Own
Trailers & Mo | Official Website
Politics may not be the central focus in the soccer (football) driven Damned United, but there are plenty of it abound in the action that takes place off of the pitch in this colorful and cheer-happy flick directed by Tom Hooper and written by the magic fingered Peter Morgan. The we love you even more every time we see you Michael Sheen portrays renowned (not in our neck of the woods) coach Brian Clough who, along with buddy Peter Taylor (the great Timothy Spall), make winners out of losers, but when they try to make winners out of someone else’s winners (the also great great Colm Meaney), they end up losing everything, or do they????? Morgan-Sheen is the new Merchant-Ivory of quality filmmaking. Can you beat their Deal, Queen, Frost/Nixon, etc pairings? Would you want to try and beat them? DON’T YOU DARE!!!

Zombieland
Shun of The Dead
Trailers & Mo | Official Website
Jesse Eisenberg is the same guy in every movie he’s in, basically a wittier, more loser-ish Michael Cera, and we eats it up every time (the opposite effect that Vince Vaughn has on us). He last wooed us in Adventureland and Zombieland is like the same thing with less rides, less employees, 865% more Woody Harrelson thighlariousness and Bella has been replaced by the much yummier/less broody Emma Stone. Plus any movie where Abigail Breslin isn’t annoying has got to be something gooooo! Too bad Letterman ruined the cameo for us, the night he also revealed that he banged women
