National Treasure: Book of Secrets
国家宝藏２：世纪秘册
Director: Jon Turteltaub
Stars: Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Justin Bartha (Full Cast)
Studio: Walt Disney Pictures
The Plot:Tracking down the missing pages of John Wilkes Booth's diary is thefirst step in treasure hunter Benjamin Franklin Gates's plan to uncovera worldwide conspiracy.
THE BUZZ: The subtitle makes it sound like a lost Harry Potter adventure, but this is another round of Da Vinci Codelite all the way. What's most surprising about the first movie'srunaway success is how no one associated with it cashed in on theirfortune. That's why the gang has returned for a follow-up ... perhapseven Sean Bean? Yes, that will require some major suspension ofdisbelief, but how feasible is it to have a man unearth two majortreasures in a single lifetime?

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
永不止步：戴维·寇克斯的故事
Director: Jake Kasdan
Stars: John C. Reilly, Jenna Fischer, David Krumholtz (Full Cast)
Studio: Columbia Pictures
The Plot: A mockumentary look at the life of fictional music legend Dewy Cox and his turbulent, "Behind the Music"-like career.
THE BUZZ: Unfunny. Most people wouldn't consider Ray and Walk the Line to be ripe material for parody. But leave it to Knocked Up's Judd Apatow to give the musician biopic genre the Guffmantreatment. He's on a total hot streak lately and we applaud Reilly'sarrival to center stage -- a move that's way overdue. What really hasus singing Hard's praises, though, is this cameo talk about a white striper as Elvis, along with Paul Rudd and Jack Black channeling Lennon-McCartney.

P.S. I Love You
附别：我爱你
Director: Richard LaGravenese
Stars: Hilary Swank, Gerard Butler, Harry Connick Jr. (Full Cast)
Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
The Plot:A widow (Swank) discovers love letters written by her recently deceasedhusband (Butler) that are meant to help her begin the next chapter ofher life.
THE BUZZ: This is sort of like Catch and Release, except with fewer secrets and more Oscars. Wonder if Hil left a bunch of letters for Chad?

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
疯狂理发师
Director: Tim Burton
Stars: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman (Full Cast)
Studio: DreamWorks SKG
The Plot:In 19th century London, Benjamin Barker (Depp) opens a barbershopupstairs from Mrs. Lovett (Carter), a baker of special meat pies;theirs is a sinister relationship.
THE BUZZ:Has a musical ever lured fanboys to the theater before? Perhaps not,and they certainly aren't the demographic that is sweating over Sweeney'severy last detail. The first real rumbling was over the casting ofHelena Bonham Carter in the role that Angela Lansbury immortalized onstage; the second uproar occurred after production started up again(illness in Johnny Depp's family caused a delay) and word from the setwas that songs vital to the storyline were in danger of having theirthroats slit. But how do you whittle down such a production, especiallywhen your screenwriter is John Logan?
Update:The first casaulty has been reported: Christopher Lee, who was to leada group of ghostly figures -- characters not present in the originalstory -- has been written out of the script. Unlike Mr. Lee'sexperience with Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, he hadn't yet filmed his scenes.

Charlie Wilson's War
查理·威尔森的战争
Director: Mike Nichols
Stars: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman (Full Cast)
Studio: Universal Pictures
The Plot:Enigmatic Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (Hanks) and his CIA alliesorchestrate that agency's most successful covert op: the arming of theMujahedeen in Afghanistan during their war with the Soviet Union.
THE BUZZ: Charlie is a movie that can't be beat.... if this was 1998! Charlieis a perfect example of the "certain kind of blockbuster" Kenneth Turanrecently wrote a book about: a big-budget Hollywood movie that'ssupposed to provide actual sustenance, not just slicked-up thrills. Andthey're a dying breed. And as such, we never thought we'd see the daywhen we were calling Roberts and Hanks "old school," but we can't helpdetecting tiniest whiff of mustiness off this project, despite the au courant topic. Nichols has yet to lose his edge, however, as he follows up the seething brilliance that was Closer. Hey, did someone say "reshoots"?

Flakes
小薄片
Director: Michael Lehmann
Stars: Aaron Stanford, Zooey Deschanel (Full Cast)
Studio: IFC Films
The Plot:A clothing designer (Deschanel) and the manager of a cereal bar(Stanford) are stunned to learn that an entrepreneur has stolen theirmillion-dollar idea.
THE BUZZ: Heathers director Michael Lehmann wisely returns to the world of indie comedy after losing his cool with Because I Said Soearlier this year. Also finally playing to his strengths again is AaronStanford, who finds a perfectly matched co-star in Ms. Zooey Deschanel.Hopefully this one will break out the typical day-and-date mold andwill linger in theaters through the holidays.
