I think this is an obvious choice this week. I will be seeing Borat at some point this weekend and am pretty excited. The movie looks absolutely hilarious. I am extremely stoked about it.
Borat – In “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” Sacha Baron Cohen – star of HBO’s hit comedy “Da Ali G Show,” takes his outrageous Kazakhstani reporter character Borat to the big screen. In this hilariously offensive movie, Borat travels from his primitive home in Kazakhstan to the U.S. to make a documentary. On his cross-country road-trip, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences.
Santa Clause 3 – Holiday magic mixes with comical chaos at the North Pole in “Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause”. Tim Allen reprises his role of Scott Calvin – AKA Santa – as he juggles a full house of family and the mischievous Jack Frost (Martin Short), who is trying to take over the “big guy’s” holiday.
At the risk of giving away the secret location of the North Pole, Scott invites his in-laws (Ann-Margret & Alan Arkin) to share in the holiday festivities, and upcoming birth of baby Claus with expectant wife, Carol, – AKA Mrs. Claus (Elizabeth Mitchell).
Along for the adventure are Scott’s extended family, son Charlie (Eric Lloyd), ex-wife Laura Miller (Wendy Crewson), her husband, Neil Miller (Judge Reinhold) and their daughter, Lucy (Liliana Mumy) who, together with head elf Curtis (Spencer Breslin), foil Jack Frost’s crafty scheme to control the North Pole.
Flushed Away – From DreamWorks Animation and Aardman Features, the teams behind the Oscar®-winning hits “Shrek” and “Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit,” comes the computer-animated comedy “Flushed Away.” Blending Aardman’s trademark style and characterizations with DreamWorks’ state-of-the-art computer animation, the film marks a unique new look for the artform.
In this new comedy set on and beneath the streets of London, Roddy St. James (Hugh Jackman) is a pampered pet mouse who thinks he’s got it made. But when a sewer rat named Sid (Shane Richie) – the definition of “low life” — comes spewing out of the sink and decides it’s his turn to enjoy the lap of luxury, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the loo for a dip in the “whirlpool.” Roddy’s plan backfires when he inadvertently winds up being the one flushed away into the bustling world down below. Underground, Roddy discovers a vast metropolis, where he meets Rita (Kate Winslet), a street-wise rat who is on a mission of her own. If Roddy is going to get home, he and Rita will need to escape the clutches of the villainous Toad (Sir Ian McKellen), who royally despises all rodents and has dispatched two hapless henchrats, Spike (Andy Serkis) and Whitey (Bill Nighy), as well as his cousin — that dreaded mercenary, Le Frog (Jean Reno) – to see that Roddy and Rita are iced… literally.
“Flushed Away” stars the voices of Tony Award winner Hugh Jackman (Broadway’s “The Boy From Oz,” the “X-Men” film franchise) as Roddy; four-time Oscar® nominee Kate Winslet (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “Iris,” “Titanic,” “Sense and Sensibility”) as Rita; two-time Oscar® nominee Ian McKellen (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “Gods and Monsters”) as the Toad; Andy Serkis (“King Kong,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”) and Bill Nighy (“Love Actually”) as Spike and Whitey; Shane Richie (“Shoreditch”) as Sid; and Jean Reno (“The Tiger and the Snow”) as Le Frog.
