Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist :: Well, this isn’t the top movie releasing this week, but it’s my favorite because I love Michael Cera.  I think he’s a very funny actor, and I’m a big fan of Arrested Development.  In this one, Cera stars with Kat Dennings as a couple of teens roaming the streets of New York looking for a secret show supposedly being put on by their favorite band.  Hijinks and teen angst ensue!  OK, I’m not saying everything Cera does is good.  I haven’t seen this one, but based on his previous body of work I’m willing to give this one the benefit of the doubt.  I’ve added it to my Netflix queue.

A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints :: This one looks to be another of the “life is tough on the streets” variety of biting melodrama.  If you are into feeling down and out for a couple hours, by all means check this one out.  According to Allmovie.com: “The harsh realities of life on the street merge with the universal themes of youthful pain and exhilaration in director Dito Montiel‘s telling tale of one boy’s struggle to escape the grim fate that awaits his aimless, trouble-minded peers.”  Heavy, dude.

Smoke Jumper :: What’s better than a movie about firefighters?  Well, let’s see, how about elite firefighters?  How about hot female firefighters?  How about an elite female firefighter (also hot), struggling to salvage her career after being unfairly blamed for the death of her captain?  Starting to sound interesting?  I thought so.  Queue that sucker up!

Zack and Miri Make a Porno:: OK, I have a guilty pleasure.  I actually enjoy Kevin Smith movies.  Even the Jay and Silent Bob fiascos.  I also enjoy watching Seth Rogan playing essentially himself in every movie he makes (lovable stoner loser).  In this one, he stars with the lovely Elizabeth Banks in what looks to be either an uproarusly funny romp or more likely a slightly uncomfortable good time.

The Good Student :: Tim Daly stars as a high school teacher who isn’t very good at his job. To make things worse, he’s the prime suspect in the case of a missing student (Hayden Panittiere) in this dark comedy.
