MOVIES--Opening this week:
- 2012 (2009). Having tried to create mindless blockbuster spectacle at the dawn of humanity with 10,000 BC and natural catacylsm (The Day After Tomorrow), director Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla) now tries for another world-smash, this time picking up the myth that Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012.

Starring John Cusack (Jackson Curtis), Amanda Peet (Kate Curtis), Chiwetel Ejiofor (Adrian Helmsley), Thandie Newton (Laura Wilson), Oliver Platt (Carl Anheuser), Tom McCarthy (Gordon Silberman), Woody Harrelson (Charlie Frost), Danny Glover (President Thomas Wilson).
-- Trailers, clips, and video for 2012.
- Up (2009). Not as amazing as other Pixar films, but a fun movie with some very cute moments. Synopsis: Before they can take him to a retirement home, Carl and his house fly away, accidentally bringing with him an 8 year old stowaway named Russell. Together, they embark in an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain, and a rare bird named Kevin. Directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson. Starring Ed Asner (Carl Fredricksen (voice)), Christopher Plummer (Charles Muntz (voice)), Jordan Nagai (Russell (voice)).
