New to theaters- "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist," staring Michael Cera ("Juno") and Kat Dennings ("The House Bunny") comes out in theaters tomorrow. Cera plays heart-broken Nick, who is unsuccessfully trying to get over his ex. Dennings plays Nora, who Nick ask to pose as his girlfriend for just five minutes.
Nick and Nora's pretend relationship unravels a chain of crazy events that includes running around New York City and searching for a drunken best friend. This movie should provide a fun, light-hearted adventure with lots of laughs along the way.Also new to CD- Jack's Mannequin released "The Glass Passenger" on Tuesday. The album was the sophomore CD release for the group.
Group member Andrew McMahon's battle with leukemia inspired many of the songs on the new album. His personal struggle adds much depth to the album and its lyrics. Some of the lyrics reflect the negative aspects such as in the song "Caves" it says, "We're not gonna lie. Son, you just might die. Get you on that morphine drip."
Other songs, such as "The Resolution," focus on the recovery process with lyrics such as "Yeah I'm alive, but I don't need a witness to know that I've survived."
Although the album was shaped by Andrew's experience, the songs still have a relatable quality. This album is a must have for all Jack's Mannequin fans.
The group will be performing at the Sokol Underground in Omaha, Neb. on Nov. 6.
New to DVD- "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" hit stores Tuesday.
Jason Segal ("Knocked-Up") plays the leading man, Peter Bretter who is trying to escape the pain from his recent break up with actress Sarah Marshall (played by Kristen Bell "Gossip Girl").
Peter goes to Hawaii in hopes of doing exactly what the movie title suggests- forgetting Sarah. Peter has no such luck, seeing as Sarah is in Hawaii also, but with her new rocker boyfriend (Russell Brand). Peter makes crazy new friends who try to help him get over Sarah.
Fans of "Knocked-up" and "40 Year Old Virgin" will definitely appreciate this witty and clever comedy.
New season on TV- "The Ex List" premieres this Friday on CBS at 9 p.m. The show stars Elizabeth Reaser, who played Rebecca on "Grey's Anatomy."
Reaser plays the main character of Bella Bloom, a beautiful 30-something who feels like her blessed life is missing something. That something happens to be a husband. Bella, in desperation, consults a psychic about her problem. The psychic informs Bella not only has she already met the man she is suppose to marry, but she has also already dated him. This sends Bella on a search through her past and through a long list of exes.
"The Ex List" may prove to be a great show to sit around and watch with your friends and enjoy a few good laughs.
