At the Movies
Funny people
Steve Carell and Tina Fey star in “Date Night” as a bored married couple attempting to mix things up. When they intentionally respond to the wrong name to snag a table at a trendy New York restaurant, they get caught in a crazy case of mistaken identity. PG 13. 1 hour, 28 minutes.
They love rock ‘n’ roll
“The Runaways,” based on a book by Cherie Currie, is a biopic about the eponymous ’70s all-girl-band. Dakota Fanning stars as founding member Currie while Kristen Stewert plays Joan Jett. Put another dime in the jukebox, baby. R. 1 hour, 49 minutes.
Homebodies
Oh, the tangled webs
Director Pedro Almodovar pairs up (again) with Penelope Cruz in “Broken Embraces.” Now on DVD, this is the tale of director/screenwriter who’s blinded in a car accident while dating a two-timing actress (Cruz). R. 2 hours, 8 minutes.
Aliens like us
“Planet 51,” now on DVD, is a charming alien story with a twist — the spaceship comes from Earth and arrives on a peace-loving planet inhabited by little green men. Now who’s scaring whom? PG. 1 hour, 30 minutes.
