I look out across the seared moviescape that is November — bereft of a Harry Potter movie to be psyched for — and I’m finding it hard to find 5 movies I’m genuinely excited about. I found 3 to talk about last week, but I’m having to fake it a bit for these last 2. … more…
Last week’s box office prognostications for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa’s opening weekend were optimistic, but there seemed to be near universal agreement that $60 million would be a stretch for the flick.

You have to give them credit, whoever came up with idea of blowing regular ol’ movies up to IMAX size, because it has brought back to movie theaters the kind of spectacle we simply can’t reproduce at home, not even with plasma widescreens and blu-ray players. I saw *Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa* in IMAX: It. Is. Jaw-droppingly. Gorgeous.
All this week! 5 movies I’m psyched for in November — well, 3 movies I’m psyched for and 2 I’m not yet totally sure about but would like to be psyched for — and 5 reasons why. No. 2: Australia [opens wide November 26]. 1. That trailer! It’s pretty rare that a trailer actually gives … more…
