Moviefone’s Pick of the Week “The Muppets” What’s It About? Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fonzie and the entire gang (even Gonzo) are reunited by their number one superfan, Walter, in an effort to save the beloved “Muppet Show” Theater. See It Because: It’s really enjoyable. It’s really easy to be cautious about a new Muppet movie that doesn’t involve Jim Henson, but Jason Segel and the creative team approached the project with a lot of reverence for the classic Muppet bits. It pays loving tribute while also setting them up for new adventures Also Available on Redbox DVD & Blu-ray | Amazon Instant Video New on DVD & Blu-ray “Carnage” Roman Polanski adapts the hit cross-continental play about two sets of parents that get together to discuss their children’s schoolyard fight; with a cast featuring Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz, it’s a superbly-acted production, but “Carnage’s” broad, theatrical nature just makes you want to see an actual staging. See It or Skip It : See it, since the show has closed on Broadway. Also Available on Redbox “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” The international best-selling thriller gets the perfect English-language adaptation from David Fincher; the movie didn’t become the blockbuster sensation is was hyped up to be, but it’s really the best translation from page to screen. See It or Skip It : See it.
