BIG SCREEN The Fantastic Mr. Fox (PG) -- The always-eclectic Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore), whose movies often flirt with the fantastical, takes the plunge with this stop-motion animation adaptation of the Roald Dahl story about a fox (voiced by George Clooney) who must protect his wife (Meryl Streep) and kids from three mean farmers. Anderson regulars Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman round out the voice cast. The animation looks old-school wonderful.
Nikki Reed patiently awaits her turn in the Twilight scheme of things. Her character, teen vampire Rosalie Hale, is a minor movie character until Stephenie Meyer's third book in the series, Eclipse, becomes a movie in 2010.
Seventy years later, actress Ann Rutherford still gives a damn about Gone with the Wind. Rutherford, 89, is among the few surviving principal cast members of the Clark Gable-Vivien Leigh Civil War epic, which arrives this week on a new special-edition DVD set and also marks its Blu-ray debut.
The first movie Lee Daniels directed, the 2005 drama Shadowboxer about a terminally ill assassin and her unusual relationship with her partner in crime, was largely derided by critics and virtually ignored by audiences, grossing less than $1 million worldwide.
BIG SCREEN (PG-13) -- Sandra Bullock sets aside the ditzy romantic-comedy act for this drama based on Michael Lewis' nonfiction bestseller The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, about a homeless African-American teenager (Quinton Aaron) who is taken in by a wealthy white couple (Bullock and Tim McGraw) as part of a college-football recruitment program.
