Opening in Tulsa this week is a pair of **** documentaries at the Circle Cinema and a new comedy from the Farrelly brothers, starring their favorite leading man.
See this Friday’s Spot magazine for theater listings, reviews, film ratings and more……

The Heartbreak Kid
The "Something About Mary" guys re-team with Ben Stiller, whose character gets hitched, discovers he's married a she-devil, then meets his soulmate while honeymooning.

The Jane Austen Book Club
Maria Bello, Emily Blunt and Amy Brenneman are part of a Sacramento group of five women and one man (Hugh Dancy) who escape their daily lives by diving into six Austen books. Life imitates art as their personal stories become somewhat like those in the books they are reading.

The Seeker: The Dark is Rising
In this latest entry in the fantasy-franchise sweepstakes, a 13-year-old is the last in a line of mythological warriors destined to fight evil. And some kids think puberty is tough.

In the Shadow of the Moon
Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean and Michael Collins are among the eight surviving members of the Apollo space missions who recount their journeys to another world in one of the yearµs most moving film events.

I See Movies for Free

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.
