Now In Theaters: Spider-Man 3, Lucky You, Waitress

Spider-Man 3

The most awaited action-packed movie of the season, Spider-Man 3 comes to the wide screens in a global release.

Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. When his suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his powers, it transforms Peter as well, bringing out the dark, vengeful side of his personality that he is struggling to control. Under the influence of the suit, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care for him most.

One of the most successful movie franchises starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, and James Franco. Directed by Sam Raimi.

Lucky You

Eric Bana stars as a high-stakes card player who sets out to win the World Series of Poker–and the affections of Drew Barrymore.

In the world of high-stakes poker, Huck Cheever is a blaster–a player who goes all out, all the time. But in his personal relationships, Huck plays it tight, expertly avoiding emotional commitments and long-term expectations. When Huck sets out to win the main event of the 2003 World Series of Poker–and the affections of Billie Offer, a young singer from Bakersfield–there is one significant obstacle in his path: his anger toward his father, L.C. Cheever, the poker legend who abandoned Huck’s mother years ago.

Starring Bana, Barrymore, Debra Messing, Robert Duvall, Horatio Sanz and directed by Curtis Hanson

Waitress

Keri Russell is a small town waitress whose life changes when she discovers she’s pregnant with her immature husband’s baby.

As a favorite waitress at Joe’s Diner, Jenna is also a “pie genius,” naming her tantalizing confections after the tumultuous events and emotions of her daily life. She’s hoping that one of her pastries, like her “Kick In The Pants” Pie, might even change her life–if she can just win that $25,000 pie contest. But when Jenna discovers that she’s pregnant, she immediately bakes an “I Don’t Want Earl’s Baby” Pie–a quiche of egg and cheese with a smoked ham center. After all, her husband Earl is a jealous jerk that is essentially a child himself, and the last thing they need to do is start a family together. But the pregnancy eventually changes the course of events in her life.

Also starring Jeremy Sisto, Cheryl Hines, Nathan Fillion, and Andy Griffith. Directed by Adrienne Shelly.
