GOOD LUCK CHUCK
R, 96 minutes
When Charlie Kagan was 10 years old, he broke the cardinal rule of spin-the-bottle and refused to kiss a demented Goth girl — so she put a hex on him. Now, 25 years later, Charlie (Dane Cook) is a successful dentist, but he’s still cursed. While his plastic surgeon best friend, Stu (Dan Fogler), pursues as many of his patients as possible, Charlie can’t find the right girl.
But he hits rock bottom when he discovers at an ex-girlfriend’s wedding that every woman he’s ever slept with has found true love — with the next guy after him. Before he knows it, Charlie’s reputation as a “good luck charm” has women, from sexy strangers to his overweight receptionist, lining up for a quickie. But a life filled with all sex and no love leaves Charlie lonelier than ever — that is, until he meets Cam (Jessica Alba), an accident-prone penguin specialist. When a genuine romance develops, Charlie realizes he must break his good-luck curse before the girl of his dreams winds up with the next guy she meets.
RESIDENT EVIL: Extinction
R, 95 minutes
Director Russell Mulcahy takes the reins for the third and final chapter in the “Resident Evil” film trilogy that finds genetically altered Alice (Milla Jovovich) joining forces with Carlos (Oded Fehr) and L.J. (Mike Epps) to take down the Umbrella Corporation once and for all. After emerging from her hideout in the Nevada desert, Alice is joined by her old friends, as well as survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke), and Nurse Betty (Ashanti). With her new super-human strength, senses, and flexibility — the result of the biogenetic experimentation conducted on her by the Umbrella Corporation — Alice and the survivors resolve to eliminate a virus that threatens to turn every living human undead, and ensure that the mysterious organization pays the price for their crimes against humanity.
