New Movie Friday: Fame, Surrogates, Pandorum

That classic musical “Fame” makes a comeback in theaters this weekend, along with a new Bruce Willis movie. Here’s the rundown:

Fame (PG). This modern update of Alan Parker’s 1980 movie follows a group of students attending the New York School of Performing Arts from audition through graduation.  Stars Irene Cara, Eddie Barth, Kelsey Grammer, Kay Panabaker, and Lee Curreri. Will it be as good as the original? I’ll let you know in 24 hours. [Preview & Trailer] [Official Site]

Surrogates (PG-13). Bruce Willis stars in this thriller about a futuristic world where people live in the comfort of their homes and let surrogates live their lives for them. Also stars Radha Mitchell and Ving Rhames. [Preview & Trailer] [Official Site]

Pandorum (R ). Ben Foster and Dennis Quaid star in this sci-fi flick about two crew members stranded on a spacecraft who quickly realize they’re not alone. That would be creepy enough, but the astronauts awaken from a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft; it’s pitch black, they’re disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the spacecraft. And they can’t remember who they are or what their mission is. This is where we cue the “Twilight Zone” music. [Official Site]
