Jun 12 2009 Will You Watch Eddie Murphy and His Magic Daughter, or Something Else?
Forget that number you call to find out what movies are playing (I've already forgotten it)--HERE are the new releases this weekend. I guess you'll still have to call for showtimes, but whatevs.
Imagine That
Director: Karey Kirkpatrick
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Yara Shahidi, Thomas Haden Church
Good if you want to see: the notable rarity of a single Eddie Murphy; something where a girl experiences financial premonitions through elaborate, metaphorical fairy tale hallucinations? Honestly, who approved this as a concept?
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
Director: Tony Scott
Starring: Denzel Washington, John Travolta
Good if you want to see: Sleepless in Seattle reworked into a subway-hijacking film; John Travolta chew the scenery so hard it will give you TMJ syndrome.
Moon
Director: Douglas Jones
Starring: Sam Rockwell, Kevin Spacey's voice
Good if you want to see: a small-scale sci-fi film that relies more on ideas than flashy effects; the sights of New York or LA, because I'm pretty sure those are the only places it's playing.
Food, Inc.
Director: Robert Kenner
Starring: Talking heads, cattle
Good if you want to see: why you should feel crippling guilt about buying food from anyone but farmer's market people and relatives; an audience full of the kind of people who make it a point to mention they don't watch television.
Mar 12 2009 'Imagine That' Poster: Eddie Murphy is Furious That He Wears His Daughter's Socks
What if fat suits and shamefully insipid comedy were the secrets of your success? Would that be better, Eddie Murphy?

Jan 16 2009 Eddie Murphy is: 'Imagine That'
Eddie Murphy is back, and for once he isn't playing multiple roles--unless you count the dual-role of businessman and father! Which you should, because it turns out it's really difficult to balance the two. Eddie is putting so much work in at the office, he isn't making time for his seven-year-old daughter. What could turn him around? Fat suits? Small, alien Eddie Murphies? Nahhhh. How about finding out that his daughter's imaginary friend princesses can provide him with stock predictions so long as he indulges them with wacky dances?
