Hello hello! I have to say, I love movies but I wasn't able to get to the movies this weekend. It was a pretty busy weekend but tomorrow is new movie Friday! So let's take a look at what the cinematic geniuses have in store for us this week, shall we? Well, at least let's take a look at the ones I'm geeked up to see :D
(Note: The movie overviews for each of the following movies were taken from the website Fandango.com. I am not, in anyway, claiming credit for the writing of any of the overviews. A link to Fandango, where the movie overviews are found, follows each overview.)
Opening November 20th
The Blind Side: A homeless black teenager, Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) has drifted in and out of the school system for years. Then Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) and her husband, Sean (Tim McGraw), take him in, transforming Michael's life and theirs. With help from his new-found family, tutors and coaches, he realizes his potential as a student and football player. Cast: Sandra Bullock, Kathy Bates, Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron Director: John Lee Hancock

Planet 51: Planet 51 is a galactic sized animated alien adventure comedy revolving around America astronaut Captain Charles “Chuck” Baker, who lands on Planet 51 thinking he’s the first person to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world reminiscent of a cheerfully innocent 1950s America, and those only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders…like Chuck! With the help of his robot companion “Rover” and his new friend Lem, Chuck must navigate his way through the dazzling, but bewildering, landscape of Planet 51 in order to escape becoming a permanent part of the Planet 51 Alien Invaders Space Museum.
Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Seann William Scott, Gary Oldman, John Cleese, Freddie Benedict Director: Jorge Blanco http://www.fandango.com/planet51_114045/movieoverview?date=11/20/2009
Twilight Saga: New Moon: In the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's phenomenally successful TWILIGHT series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of—only to find herself in greater peril than ever before. With more of the passion, action and suspense that made TWILIGHT a worldwide phenomenon, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON is a spellbinding follow-up to the box office hit.
Cast: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Rachelle Lefevre, Billy Burke Director: Chris Weitz

After the Ozunu kill his friend, however, Raizo breaks free from them and vanishes. Meanwhile, Interpol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) discovers a money trail linking the the group to murders. Raizo saves Mika from his former comrades and joins forces with her to bring down the Ozunu forever.
Cast: Rain, Naomie Harris, Ben Miles, Rick Yune, Sho Kosugi Director: James McTeigue
