With Maggie Gyllenhall's husband away at war, she can certainly use the help on the family farm when Emma Thompson's NANNY MCPHEE RETURNS; her three kids could use a little assistance in their ongoing battles with a couple of snooty city cousins, too - wide release August 20...
It was pretty inevitable: the spoof VAMPIRES SUCK riffs on the current mania for all things blood-lapping undead, mostly drawing from the vampire/werewolf/mortal chick TWILIGHT -vibe; a wide, mocking August 20...
Turkey-baster conception mayhem reigns in the barely publicized romantic comedy THE SWITCH starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman, probably doomed by the lack of publicity to a soft showing in its August 20 wide release...
Bow Wow isn't so Lil' anymore - old enough at least to carry the lead in the inner-city everybody-wants-you August 20 comedy THE LOTTERY TICKET; a three-day weekend turns to mad, mad, mad, mad, madness after his neighbors learn he holds the winning slip...
Prehistoric carnivorous fish! In Lake Victoria! Gore in 3-D! While it's hardly surprising to see Jerry O'Connell's name attached to this bad-movie remake, it's a little sad to see Elisabeth Shue there, and - what?!? Richard Dreyfuss? Oy. PIRANHA 3-D opens wide August 20...
Only LA and NYC moviegoers get to escape the lukewarm lineup of lighter fare August 20 - they can choose to sit down to A FILM UNFINISHED, the full raw footage of a Nazi film about the Warsaw Ghetto; with a newly discovered reel re-integrated, it documents some of the worst horrors of our time and exposes the efforts of its perpetrators to propel their agenda and cast it in a favorable light...

To win the girl of his dreams, Toronto guitarist Michael Cera must defeat her seven evil exes (including Chris Evans, Brandon Routh and Jason Schwartzmann) before they kill him in the epic comic series-based SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD, heating up late summer screens for fanboys (and girls) on August 13 in wide release...
It's a tale told many times, with lots of explosions, hand-to-hand combat and shoot-'em-up action (see THE LOSERS from a few months back): military-slash-ex-military team conscripted for a mission whose truth and consequences are more tangled than first appears, then deal (explosively!) with being sold out - only not every such high-octane action flick has such old pros as Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren in the mix; THE EXPENDABLES puts a lot of muscle behind its August 13 wide opening...
Worth noting for animation buffs in limited release August 13: Son of Japan's venerable Hayao Miyazaki (PONYO , MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO ), Goro Miyazaki makes his directorial debut with an adaptation of Ursula K. LeGuin's speculative fiction classic of dragons, wizards and self-discovery in TALES FROM EARTHSEA...
