Wall Street Is Aiming To Cash In Big Bucks This Weekend

This week 3 new fall releases head into the multiplexes on Friday offering a wide variety of moviegoing options. Fox unleashes its financial crisis drama Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Warner Bros. lets loose its 3D adventure Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, and Buena Vista chooses to keep titles short with the comedy You Again.
        23 years after its predecessor opened and became a modern classic, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps arrives with an aggressive release marking the return of Gordon Gekko. Michael Douglas reprises the role that won him an Oscar and Oliver Stone is back at the helm. The R-rated film features Shia LaBeouf as the young hotshot this time with supporting turns by Carey Mulligan, Josh Brolin, Frank Langella and Susan Sarandon. Mature adults of both genders should take interest here and the recent battle Douglas has had with cancer has generated more press and awareness for the film.

Emerging from a lengthy prison stint, Gordon Gekko finds himself on the outside of a world he once dominated. Looking to repair his damaged relationship with his daughter, Gekko forms an alliance with her fiance Jacob, and Jacob begins to see him as a father figure. But Jacob learns the hard way that Gekko -- still a master manipulator and player -- is after something very different from redemption.

Acclaimed filmmaker Zack Snyder makes his animation debut with the fantasy family adventure Guardians of Ga'Hoole, based on the beloved books by Kathryn Lasky. The film follows Soren, a young owl enthralled by his father's epic stories of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. While Soren dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal his father's favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd's jealousy has terrible consequences--causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians of Ga'Hoole--Soren's only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.

No matter how old you are, you never get over high school. Successful PR pro Marni (Kristin Bell) heads home for her older brother’s (Jimmy Wolk) wedding and discovers that he’s marrying her high school arch nemesis (ODETTE YUSTMAN), who’s conveniently forgotten all the rotten things she did so many years ago. Then the bride’s jet-setting aunt (SIGOURNEY WEAVER) bursts in and Marni’s not-sojet-setting mom (JAMIE LEE CURTIS) comes face to face with her own high school rival. The claws come out and old wounds are opened in this crazy comedy about what happens when you’re reunited with the one person you’d like to forget.
