88.5 WMUB Oxford

	The Last Exorcism Rated: PG-13 Troubled preacher invites a documentary crew to film his last exorcism. From the Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity style of filmmaking. If you care.

	Takers Rated: PG-13 Another bank heist flick with Matt Dillon, Idris Elba and Hayden Christenson. Been there, done that.

	Lottery Ticket Rated: PG-13 Young man living in the projects has to dodge his neighbors who find out he’s holding the winning ticket for a $370 million jackpot. Yeah… hilarious. With Bow Wow, Loretta Devine, Ice Cube, and Keith David.

	The Switch Rated: PG-13 RomCom about artificial insemination. Stars Jennifer Aniston, Justin Bateman, Jeff Goldblum, and Juliette Lewis.

	Piranha 3-D Rated: R The horror remake of the week is based on the John Sayles written; Roger Corman produced; and Joe Dante directed film from 1978 that was actually very good. Will this be even close with the addition of 3-D? Eh, probably not. The decent cast includes Richard Dreyfuss, Ving Rhames, Elizabeth Shue, and Christopher Lloyd.

	Vampires Suck Rated: PG-13 Spoof of the “Twilight” series… but isn’t that redundant? If your taste in humor is not that of a 12-year-old boy, then don’t bother.

	Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Rated: PG-13 Michael Cera (Juno) must defeat his new girlfriend’s seven evil exes in order to win her heart. Based on a video game, but give it a chance, as it’s directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead; Hot Fuzz), a very innovative filmmaker.

	Eat Pray Love Rated: PG-13 Julia Roberts stars in a film adaptation of the popular non-fiction book by Elizabeth Gilbert. Javier Bardem co-stars.

	The Expendables Rated: R The summer’s big testesterone festival, as muscle men Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, several TV wrestlers, and a guest appearance by “The Governator” try to cure the world’s ills.

	The Other Guys Rated: PG-13 Buddy-cop comedy with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, with cameos by Samuel Jackson and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The trailer has funny moments. Hope there are more in the movie.

	Step Up 3-D Rated: PG-13 Another dance movie, but this time they can kick over your heads. Would imagine the process serves the subject well, but the acting and script and probably the sub-par drivel you get in films like this.

	Mid-August Lunch Rated: NR Unemployed Italian man takes care of his nonegenarian mother, and has money problems to boot. During a summer holiday period, he has a chance to erase some of his financial difficulties. Charming, engaging film that is perfect summer movie fare. It Italian with English subtitles.

	Winter’s Bone Rated: R Story about poverty-stricken rural residents in the Ozarks, and what they have to do to survive. It’s a heady mix of sad, creepy and hopeful, with a terrific cast headed by Louisville native Jennifer Lawrence.

	I Am Love Rated: R Tilda Swinton stars in this epic drama of an Italian industrialist family, and all the angst, tragedy, and lust that ensues. Beautifully photographed and acted, this may be one of the best films of the year. In Italian with English subtitles.

	The Girl Who Played With Fire Rated: R The second in the “Millenium” trilogy by author Steig Larsson (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO), this Swedish thriller is the cinematic equal of the first one. Thrilling, exciting, and very well done. In Swedish with English subtitles.

	Dinner For Schmucks Rated: PG-13 Based on a French movie, which was based on a French play, we now get the Americanized version starring Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, and Zach Galafanakis. If you’re a fan of this type of fare, you might like it.

	Cats And Dogs: The Revenge Of Kitty Galore Rated: PG Another hastily cobbled together sequel (from a 2001 film that was terrible) with the addition of 3-D to boost the boxoffice revenue. The only possible saving grace is a 3.5 minute Looney Tunes cartoon showing first titled “Coyote Falls.”

	Inception Rated: PG-13 The director of The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan) and star of Titanic (Leonardo DiCapro) team up to bring us a future world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion. Probably the most anticipated film of the summer.

	Despicable Me Rated: PG The 3-D animated film of the week features three orphan girls who cause the normally deplorable Gru to rethink his plan to steal the moon. Good idea, don’t you think? Steve Carrell voices Gru.
