At the Movies
Show me the money
Michael Moore is back with his latest controversial documentary, “Capitalism: A Love Story.” Moore highlights the impact of corporate America on the lives of everyday Americans. Love him or hate him, his approach is entertaining and thought-provoking. R. 2 hours.
When somethin’s going wrong, you must
“Whip It.” In Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, a small-town Texas, indierock-loving outcast (played by Ellen Page of “Juno” fame) finds a rollicking method of coping with the blues: She joins a roller-derby league in Austin — and whips it good. PG-13. 1 hour, 51 minutes.
Homebodies
Home, elusive home
In “Away We Go,” out on DVD, a rootless, pregnant couple grope their way to adulthood as they take a road trip to pick the best place to raise their child. Through scenes both silly and wacky, this pair gradually locates grown-upville — dopey friends and family notwithstanding. R.
Monster mash
When a meteorite from outer space hits a young woman and turns her into a giant monster, she’s whisked to a secret government facility where she meets a comical bunch of “monsters” who’ve also been captured over the years. When aliens invade Earth, guess who’s called to service? It’s not called “Monsters vs. Aliens” for nothing. PG.
