September 2011
Burke and Hare
September 9th ( US )
A dark comedy about two 19th century grave robber ( Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis ) who find a remunerative byplay providing corpse for an Edinburgh medical school .
Our Take : John Landis ( An American Werewolf In London ) is an ikon for his ability to mix the humourous with the macabre , and with Simon Pegg ( Shaun of the Dead ) and Andy Serkis ( Rise of the Planet of the Apes ) in the Pb , this could be an entertaining film - if it make it onto people ’s radar , that is .

Steven Soderbergh ’s action - thriller center on the menace posed by a deadly disease and an outside squad of Doctor contracted by the CDC to make do with the outbreak . Matt Damon , Marion Cotillard , Jude Law , Gwyneth Paltrow , Kate Winslet , Laurence Fishburne and Bryan Cranston star .
Our Take : In ourContagionreview , we nail the movie as being interesting and stylish , but a little short on heart . Still , it ’s from Steven Soderbergh , who take a similar ( and successful ) approach with his ensemble filmTraffic . So you know it ca n’t all be bad .
Warrior

Jennifer Morrison , Noah Emmerich and Kevin Dunn Colorado - star .
Our Take : OurWarriorReviewpegs this film as one of the big surprisal of 2011 . Although ' come up to glory ' sports narration are a dime a dozen , Warriorstands out thanks to it ’s fantastic lead performers and the skilled direction of Gavin O’Connor ( Miracle ) .

There , while tensions build up between them , a brewing battle with locals becomes a threat to them both . Alexander Skarsgård , Willa Holland , Dominic Purcell and James Woods atomic number 27 - star .
Our Take : hoi polloi will probably be attracted ( literally and figuratively ) to the cast of pretty faces , but theStraw Dogstrailerpaints this as being yet another unnecessary remake .
Drive
A Hollywood stunt performer ( Ryan Gosling ) who moonlight as a wheelman discovers that a declaration has been put on him after a heist gone wrong . Carey Mulligan , Christina Hendricks , Ron Perlman , Bryan Cranston and Albert Brooks co - star topology .
Our Take : In ourDriveReviewwe describe the film as a vivid oeuvre of bloody , thrilling , high - art crime drama with some accolade - worthy performance . It may sound like an odd mixture of parts , but theatre director Nicolas Winding Refn ( Bronson ) reach it all run as politic as a gamey - octane sports automobile .

A comedy centered on the life of Kate Reddy ( Sarah Jessica Parker ) , a finance executive director who is the breadwinner for her hubby and two Kyd .
Our Take : If you are an on - the - go wife and/or mother , this one is for you . If you ’re related to an on - the - go wife and/or mother , be prepared to be puff along for the show . Everyone else need not put on .
Restless
September 16th

Our Take : This film will be the official barometer that assess whether Taylor Lautner will have a successful post - Twilightcareer . The kid is a real - life warlike artistry star ( see HERE ) , so action at law could be a better fit for him than supernatural drama . But is film director John Singleton ( 2 Fast 2 Furious ) the humankind to launch Lautner ’s action career ? We ’ll see .
Dolphin Tale
A fib centered on the friendship between a boy and a dolphinfish whose tail was lost in a crabmeat trap . Morgan Freeman , Ashley Judd , Kris Kristofferson , Harry Connick Jr. and Nathan Gamble star topology .

The Double
September 23rd

That ’s good , because otherwise the combined presence of Topher Grace and writer - reverse - first - time - director Michael Brandt would n’t be enough to deal us on this flick .
Ralph Fiennes in ‘Coriolanus’
The Killer Elite
A group of former British special forces members ( Robert De Niro , Jason Statham ) are being hunt by a squad of assassins go by a former Navy Seal ( Clive Owen ) .

Robin Wright , Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Chris Pratt co - wiz .
Our Take : After many start and barricade this photographic film eventually arrives . Selling audiences on a baseball game movie is hard enough - deal them on a movie about baseball game statistic would ’ve been unimaginable , if not for the presence of Brad Pitt , the comedic gift of Jonah Hill , and a crackle handwriting from Aaron Sorkin , who already won an Oscar for make a Facebook picture into a ethnic case . Do n’t count this one out just yet .
50/50
A semi - comedic account statement of a 27 - year - old guy ’s ( Joseph Gordon - Levitt ) cancer diagnosis , and his subsequent struggle to beat the disease . Seth Rogen conscientious objector - star topology .
Our Take : sacrifice that this story comes from the real - sprightliness score of Rogen ’s friend ( and the picture ’s author ) Will Reiser , require it to respect the subject matter with a deliberate balance of wit and authentic drama . With Gordon - Levitt in the lead , and Rogen fundamentally playing Seth Rogen , it should be an entertaining drive . Still do n’t trust us ? Check out the50/50trailerfor proof .

Our Take : An impressive cast and skilled director ( Jim Sheridan ofIn The Name of the FatherandMy Left Footfame ) indicate that this is going to be much deeper than your standard psychological thriller . The traileris in effect creepy , but shows a routine too much of the patch .
Margaret
A young woman ( Anna Paquin ) witnesses a motorcoach accident , and is caught up in the consequence , where the inquiry of whether or not it was knowing impress many people ’s lives . Matt Damon , Mark Ruffalo , Matthew Broderick , Allison Janney , Kieran Culkin , Jean Reno , Krysten Ritter and Olivia Thirlby cobalt - superstar

Now that he ’ll be starring as the villain inSuperman : Man of Steel , audience will likely desire to see the Shannon ’s full talent on display .

Real Steel
A fisticuffs drama position in the good - time to come where 2,000 - pound robots that look like humans do conflict . Hugh Jackman , Kevin Durand , Anthony Mackieand Evangeline Lilly star .

Three greedy doll watchers ( Owen Wilson , Jack Black and Steve Martin ) compete to spot the rarest birds in North America at a prestigious one-year event .
Our Take : Marley & Me -the last flick from theater director David Frankel and Owen Wilson - was a moving drama mask as a comedy . Though you may not think so upon first glimpse , The Big Yeartrailerhints that this film will be much the same .
Footloose
City kid Ren McCormack moves to a little town where rock ' n ' cast and dancing have been ban , and his rebellious heart shakes up the world . Kenny Wormald , Julianne Hough and Dennis Quaid star . Craig Brewer ( Hustle & Flow ) directs .

Our Take : John Carpenter’sThe Thingis a cult classical horror picture , and this prequel is basically going to tell us a tale we already recognise the ending of . The Thingtrailerandclipshave also hinted that first - time characteristic - film film director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. may not have the experience to put up anything more than a horror movie cliche . That read , our love of Carpenter ’s picture will certainly lend us to dramatic art to find out .

Trespass
As they ’re held for ransom , a husband and wife ’s ( Nic Cage and Nicole Kidman ) predicament grows more dreaded amid the discovery of betrayal and deception .
Our Take : Joel Schumacher ’s name has become something of a pestiferous word ( thank film likeBatman & RobinandPhantom of the Opera ) . However , this film look a slew like Schumacher ’s single - setting psychological dramaPhone Booth(which was gratifying ) and he and Cage ’s partnership on8MMwas a solid one . Add our lowered expectations and it might be a pleasant surprise . Maybe .
Martha Marcy May Marlene

Christoph Waltz and Mads Mikkelsen Colorado - star .
Our Take : Turn off your mind , feast on Zea mays everta , and examine not to get empty-headed from all the crazy 3D action . What more can you bear from the guy rope behind theResident Evilmovies ?

Our Take : Andrew Niccol ( Gattaca , The Truman Show ) knows how to craft smart sci - fi experience , and this film looks to be just that . The premise alone had us baited on the draw , and theIn Timetrailershowcases a intermixture of paying attention conception and exciting action .
Johnny English Reborn

Ben Stiller , Casey Affleck , Eddie Murphy , Matthew Broderick , Téa Leoni , Gabourety Sidibe Judd Hirsch , Charlie Murphy and Alan Alda star .

Jack and Jill
In this clowning Adam Sandler plays two character , as a man and the adult male ’s plaguy matching sister . Katie Holmes plays his married woman and Al Pacino play … himself ?

Our Take : It ’s hard to get enthusiastic about a Cameron Crowe movie at this point in time . Does n’t count how just the cast looks on paper .
War Horse
Our Take : Two password : Oscar . sweetener .
