This week in movies is a little bit on the weak side. The vampire flick starring Ethan Hawke, Daybreakers, hits theaters. The movie is about a society of vampires that farm humans for their blood, except something goes terribly wrong. The movie hasn’t gotten great reviews, but it might fit under the category of “watchable.” The loveably-awkward Michael Cera’s new movie, Youth in Revolt, about a nerdy guy who is trying to get the hot girl to like him. It should be wildly cliched, completely-predictable, and enjoyable. Then we have the romantic comedy, starring Amy Adams, Leap Year. Tim Allen and Mathew Broderick both have limited release movies coming out this week with Crazy on the Outside and Wonderful World, respectively.

Michael Cera yet again plays an awkward high school boy who can’t get laid, only this time, he creates an alter ego who helps him get the girl and into a whole lot of trouble. Youth in Revolt is a surprisingly fresh take on a much seen before story about a boy who falls in love with a girl that’s out of his league. With great performances and a number of amazing guest appearances it’s a great pick if you’re looking for something both smart and funny…

The first official image from Edgar Wright‘s adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has been released and it’s pretty bad ass. It features star Michael Cera as Pilgrim yielding a sword of fire! If this image is any indication, Scott Pilgrim will be pretty damn good. The above photo is just a close up, but if you check out the full image you’ll notice several other key characters in the background…

This Friday Michael Cera will be hitting the big screen in his latest film, Youth in Revolt. In a last ditch effort of promotion he decided to tap into that famous MTV audience to bring in the box office dollars. Therefore, he recently attached himself to the network’s biggest show, the love or hate it phenomenon, “Jersey Shore.”

The big draw of the AFI Fest‘s 10 o’clock slot last night was not, surprisingly, Harmony Korine’s Trash Humpers, but the new Michael Cera comedy (yes, it is now a genre) Youth In Revolt.
Nick Twisp is a polite, intelligent 16 year-old virgin. Meeting a hot, willing temptress (Portia Doubleday) on vacation compels him to create a rule-breaking “supplementary personality” (Cera as “François”, mustachioed, beloafered, permanently smoking) to help him get kicked out of home (child support issues) and reunited with his sweetheart. He does so in grand style, just as she’s carted off to boarding school, and he has her parents and ex-boyfriend to deal with also.

Earlier this summer, Charlyne Yi‘s romantic “documentary” Paper Heart was all the rage. The film was a Sundance darling and earned accolades from all over the festival circuit. Yi not only stars but co-wrote the film along with Nicholas Jasenovec who also directed the movie. Paper Heart features several familiar faces, but most prominently highlights the appearance of Michael Cera. If you were a fan of the film in theaters you’ll love all the extras that will be included on the upcoming DVD.

It is finally upon us – as I type the crowds are thronged outside the Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard for the American Film Institute Film Festival Opening Gala and North American Premiere of Wes Anderson’s stop-motion fable Fantastic Mr Fox (already covered by Screencrave from the London Film Festival – ahead of the game as usual).
