Hoping to catch a movie this week? Here is a list of new movies opening in San Diego on Friday, October 31, 2008:
Changeling (Expands to San Diego) – Single mother Christine Collins’ prayers are met when her kidnapped son is returned. But amidst the frenzy of the photo-op reunion, she realizes this child is not hers. Facing corrupt police and a skeptical public, she desperately hunts for answers, only to be confronted by a truth that will change her forever. Based on a true story, Changeling is directed by Clint Eastwood and stars Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich.
RockNRolla (Expands to San Diego) – RockNRolla is a story of sex, thugs and rock ‘n roll. The film takes a dangerous ride into high crime and low life in contemporary London, where real estate has supplanted drugs as the biggest market, and criminals are its most enthusiastic entrepreneurs. With millions up for grabs, all of London’s criminal underworld conspires, colludes and collides with one another in an effort to take their cut. But as high rollers and petty criminals alike jockey for dominance, the true prize of one multi-million-dollar deal will fall into the hands of a junkie rock star, presumed dead but very much alive. Directed by Guy Ritchie, RockNRolla stars Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Thandie Newton, Mark Strong and Idris Elba.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno – Lifelong friends and roommates Zack and Miri are facing hard times and a mountain of debt. When the electricity and plumbing get cut off, they seize upon the idea of making a homegrown porno movie for some quick cash, enlisting the help of their friends. The two vow that having sex will not ruin their friendship. But as filming begins, what started out as a business proposition between friends turns into something much more. Written and directed by Kevin Smith, this movie stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.
The Haunting of Molly Hartley – In this tale of spell binding suspense, something evil lurks just beneath the lush surfaces of teenaged girl’s private school world – and it holds the rights to her very soul. Now, on the eve of her 18th birthday, Molly Hartley is about to discover the truth of just who, or rather what, it is she is destined to become.
What Just Happened? (Expands to San Diego) – Ben (Robert De Niro) is already in over his head trying to balance the tug-of-war of having two ex-wives and two different families with his latest business venture – the boldly “visionary” movie Fiercely starring Sean Penn (Sean Penn) – when everything that can go wrong goes completely screwy. This comedy is directed by Barry Levinson and stars Robert De Niro, Catherine Keener, Sean Penn, John Turturro, Robin Wright Penn, Stanley Tucci and Bruce Willis.
The Other End of the Line – A beautiful credit card phone operator lives in India but pretends to be American to her callers. Soon she travels to the United States without telling her family in order to meet a New York man that she’s met over the phone. But problems arise when they meet in San Francisco and she decides not to reveal her true identity. This romantic comedy stars Jesse Metcalfe, Shriya Saran and Anupam Kher.
