Brothers

What it's about: Toby Maguire's dead, but then he's not. And that's a problem for Jake Gyllenhaal, who's been mackin' it with Natalie Portman. Then, her evil twin shows up. Okay, maybe not that last part.

What to expect: Odd casting. I got nothing against Toby Maguire, but angry used-to-be-dead dad just doesn't seem like his ideal role. And as threatening as he tries to be, I can pretty much only imagine him swinging around New York and dancing around with emo hair.

Up in the Air

What it's about: Hey, remember "Thank You For Smoking?" This is that, except with air travel instead of cigarettes and George Clooney instead of Aaron Eckhart. It's even got a fast-talking dude giving tips on shit in a winky fashion in voice-over! And J.K. Simmons in exactly the same role!

What to expect: For Jason Reitman's next movie to be about some quirky teenager who gets pregnant, but this time she's Mexican!

December 11

The Princess and the Frog

What it's about: RACISSSSS

What to expect: SO RACISSS

Invictus

What it's about: Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) ends racism in South Africa through rugby. You hear that, Obama? You could get health care reform passed if you got in on some of that rugby action, dude!

What to expect: Seeing Morgan Freeman do his creepy Mandela smile like, every 30 seconds.

The Lovely Bones

What it's about: A girl gets murdered in 1973 and goes to her own personal Super Mario Galaxy.

What to expect: For Michael Imperioli to spend literally half the movie describing what it is police do, even though it's painfully clear that Stanley Tucci in weird glasses is the killer. Only killers wear those glasses.
