How NOT to waste this Friday night

A great recipe for a good Friday night is simply this one. Take someone dear to you, add some pop corn and coke, buy two tickets to the movies, and, which is really important, find the flick you like the most . Here’s our movie menu for today.

Go with something light and hilarious to start with. Beverly Hills Chihuahua featuring voices of Drew Barrymore, Andy Garcia, George Lopez and Paul Rodriguez, is a story about diamond-clad Chihuahua Chloe that gets lost in Mexico, while the other Chihuahua that’s got a crush on this lovely Beverly Hills pooch teams up with two humans, a rat and an iguana to rescue his true love.

Here’s something more serious for the main course. Blindness that was first presented during this year’s International Cannes Festival also opens today, starring Jullianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Gael Garcia Bernal, Sandra Oh, Danny Glover. Blindness is psychological thriller about a sudden plague of blindness devastating a city, and a woman whose sight is unaffected by the disease. She follows her afflicted husband to quarantine in an abandoned mental hospital to witness how the newly created society of the blind breaks down. The film is based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago.

And finally here’s something for dessert to choose from. I’m thinking delicious comedy. How to Lose Friends & Alienate People based on Toby Young’s memoir of the same name and starring Simon Pegg, Kirsten Dunst, Gillian Anderson, Megan Fox, Max Minghella, and Jeff Bridges, portrays thorny showbiz paths a bumbling, British celebrity journalist (Pegg) has to go through in upscale Sharp magazine he’s now working for.

He’s too clumsy and awkward for the society he has to mix with. He annoys his fellow writer (Dunst), a power publicist (Anderson), his boss (Bridges), and he makes a sexy rising Hollywood starlet (Fox) fall in love with him.

So the question is who will save this poor guy and his career?

Rachel Getting Married is described as a contemporary drama with an aggressive sense of humor. Anne Hathaway plays an estranged daughter who gets back home for her sister’s wedding. Her comeback brings along the long history of personal crisis and family conflicts. She is the one to turn the perfectly planned weekend of feasting and partying into something full of tense and drama.

Anne Hathaway looks good with hair cut short, don’t you think?
