What’s opening Friday, April 4?
Nature may come back to life in the spring, but movies tend to stay somewhat dead until May arrives. Tomorrow, however, actually brings us a halfway decent roster.
Leatherheads: It may be baseball season, but don’t tell Universal that. George Clooney directs and stars in this comedy about the early rule-less days of professional football, with Renee Zellweger playing the romantic foil. The film was storyboarded by Dayton-area resident J. Todd Anderson, who is known for his work with the Coens. To be reviewed Friday.
Nim’s Island: A popular author (Jodie Foster) teams up tan adventurer Alex Rover (Gerard Butler) in order to help her number-one fan (the busy little Abigail Breslin), a young girl whose father has gone missing. Jodie Foster in an adventure movie? Sounds fun.
The Ruins: A “don’t go in there!” movie set in Mexico and based on a novel by “A Simple Plan” author Scott B. Smith. Let’s see if this can do any better than Doomsday.
Shine a Light: Martin Scorsese directs a Rolling Stones concert movie. ‘Nuff said. Review also forthcoming. Playing in IMAX at Showcase Springdale, just off of I-275.
