Whip itIt's October, you guys! We made it. Time to get out your Scene cards and Bytowne memberships because it's gonna get good. 

Hollywood Fare

If you are in need of sup-bar agitainment, Michael Moore's latest, Capitalism: A Love Story should fit the bill. If you prefer the latest addition in the hor-com genre, go with Zombieland.  While "be your own hero" seems to be the only message of Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It, it's pretty good as far as messages go (with the added benefit of not looking like a message movie). If comedy's more your thing, go with Ricky Gervais' latest, The Invention of Lying. Is there a reason Mr. Gervais hasn't really broken out here yet?

Bytowne

Bright Star is still playing at the Bytowne if you didn't catch it last weekend,  along with the Italian neo-realist classic Bicycle Thieves (formerly known as The Bicycle Thief), and Séraphine, based on the life of French painter Séraphine de Senils.

Mayfair

Eraserhead, Il Divo, and Carrie are all playing this weekend, but take some time to check out Summer Hours, about a family that gathers together to divest themselves of their mothers things following her death and all the memories that go along with her possessions.
