MOVIES, MOVIES, MOVIES!

SO MANY MOVIES THIS WEEKEND!

Flash of Genius --(MY PICK!) Skeptics are calling it "the movie about windshield wipers," but critics suggest there's more to "Flash Of Genius," starring Greg Kinnear as real-life professor Robert Kearns, the inventor of the intermittent windshield wiper. Kearns battled the automobile industry for stealing his idea and shunning him. THIS ONE LOOKS GREAT!

Blindness -- (IAN'S PICK!) White blindness steals Mark Ruffalo's sight, sending him to a mental asylum. He's joined by his wife, played by Julianne Moore, who somehow retains her vision but fakes blindness in order to help.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (ERIN IS GOING THIS WEEKEND!)-- A spoiled Chihuahua is stuck in Mexico and must find its way back to Beverly Hills, with the help of some doggy pals. DREW BARRYMORE, GEORGE LOPEZ and ANDY GARCIA lend their voices. PIPER PERABO and JAMIE LEE CURTIS also star. Rated PG.Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist -- Superbad actor MICHAEL CERA and The House Bunny actress KAT DENNINGS are the title characters, who connect one night while trying to locate a band's secret concert in New York.

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People -- SIMON PEGG is a British journalist in New York who seems to irritate everyone around him, including another writer played by KIRSTEN DUNST. JEFF BRIDGES and Transformers actress MEGAN FOX also star.

An American Carol -- The spoof of A Christmas Carol tells the story of a MICHAEL MOORE-like filmmaker who wants to rid the country of the Fourth of July holiday, until he's visited by three spirits from American history. KEVIN FARLEY, KELSEY GRAMMER, DENNIS HOPPER, JAMES WOODS and JON VOIGHT star in this comedy, helmed by Airplane! and The Naked Gun director DAVID ZUCKER.
