“Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”

Starring Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Jay Baruchel, Alexis Dziena

“Blindness”

Starring Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Gael García Bernal, Danny Glover

Directed by Fernando Meirelles

From Pulitzer Prize winner José Saramago’s novel, an epidemic of blindness hits most of the planet, and the U.S. government rounds up those affected. That’ll go over well.

“Flash of Genius”

Starring Greg Kinnear, Lauren Graham, Alan Alda

Directed by Marc Abraham

Buzz is surprisingly strong for a movie about the dude who invented the intermittent windshield wiper (Kinnear). The man fought for decades to claim his patent on the product, which Ford and other automakers stole.

“An American Carol”

Starring Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Jon Voight, Trace Adkins

Directed by David Zucker

Whether or not it will be funny, you have to give Zucker (“Airplane!”) props for wanting to make a pro-conservative movie, this one a parody of Michael Moore.
