What New Movies Come Out Friday, November 7th?
This Friday is sort of a lull before we get Quantum of Solace next week and Twilight the week after, at least to me it is anyway. So, what’s hitting theaters this week? There are nine movies opening, three everywhere and six others in limited release.
Opening Nationwide on Friday, November 7th:
Movie: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (PG)
Starring: Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric the Entertainer & Andy Richter
Genre: Animated Family Comedy
Synopsis: The castaways have fixed the plane and are able to fly off the island, but only make it to the plains of Africa. They all come in contact with species of their own kind for the first time in the wild. Africa may be great, but is the Central Park Zoo actually where they want to be?
First Thoughts: If you like the previous, then you will probably like this one. Also available in IMAX.
Movie: Role Models (R)
Starring: Seann William Scott, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Christopher Mintz-Plasse & Bobb’e J. Thompson

They end up as part of a mentorship program for kids. After lots of screw-ups, they finally do the right thing and try and help these kids.
First Thoughts: It’s probably not very good, but it is still the movie I am going to go see this weekend. The trailer actually does provide a few laughs, which is why I think the movie won’t be that good.
Movie: Soul Men (R)

Genre: Comedy
Synopsis: Two former members of a band reunite to try and honor their old bandleader, but old problems come up while they do.
First Thoughts: It has Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac, but I have heard and seen next to nothing about this one, which leads me to believe that the studio thinks is probably isn’t very good either.
