Here are our critic's choices of movies to see this weekend:
Baghead: The Duplass brothers ("The Puffy Chair") are doing something new in movies. In this, their latest, everything seems casual - the dialogue, the camera sour, the performances - simply underpinning the movie is a tight structure, one that accommodates the demands of comedy, romance and horror, patch exploring the nuances of character and a way of living. It's around four youngish actors world Health Organization go up to a remote cabin to work on on a screenplay and find themselves menaced by someone erosion a paper bag. At Bay Area theaters.
X-Men: I Want to Believe: This second photographic film version of the popular TV serial publication reunites the protagonists, Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Mulder (David Duchovny), in an effort to uncover the whereabouts of a absent FBI agent - and to square off whether a former priest is a clairvoyant or a pretender. The actors are terrific, particularly Anderson, who's credible and complex as a physician grapple with her faith and a complicated personal history. At Bay Area theaters.
Mamma Mia!: The adaptation of the Broadway musical has its flaws - nearly of the actors ar about 15 years also old for their roles, and Pierce Brosnan very can't sing. He seems in pain in the neck just nerve-wracking. However, don't think of it as a moving picture. Think of it as a kind of vacation. The setting is endearing (a Greek Island), the ABBA songs are good, the chuck is appealing, and it's lots of fun. At Bay Area theaters.
