More after the jump…
City of Ember. I haven’t heard much about this movie, but it looks good — and hopefully good for kids, too. It revolves around the City of Ember, an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember’s once powerful generator is failing, and two teenagers must search for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city’s existence. Stars Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, Harry Treadaway, and Saoirse Ronan, who shined in Atonement. Rated PG for mild peril and some thematic elements. [Official Site]

Rated R, this movie is directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, and Thandie Newton. [Official Site]
Happy-Go-Lucky (limited). Sally Hawkins is Poppy, a free-spirited school teacher and single woman in London. When her bike is stolen, she signs up for driving lessons with Scott (Eddie Marsan), who turns out to be her polar opposite – a fuming, uptight cynic who takes himself extremely seriously. Rated R, this movie sounds quirky and fun. [Official Site]
