Treat yourself to a movie this balmy Friday evening, or tomorrow, or the next day. There are several new things to see in the theaters this week, from hunky aliens to husky mommas to haunted Haydens. Plus, Liam Neeson really wishes you remembered who he is.

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

Sometimes it's hard to believe this movie series is actually a real thing and not just some made-up Tracy Jordan movie. But it's real, so we'll have to deal with it. Martin Lawrence plays the FBI's "top agent" who loves to dress up in old lady drag for work. Then he gets his son involved, which I'm pretty sure is illegal in most states. (Wide release)

Even the Rain

Gael Garcia Bernal stars in this Spanish drama about a film crew in Bolivia to shoot an epic about Spanish colonialism, while realizing back in the real world that much of the disenfranchisement experienced by indigenous peoples in those days is still happening now. The film specifically focuses on the 2000 Cochabamba "Water Wars." So this isn't a light date movie, basically. (NY & LA only)

I Am Number Four

Say it with me: I Am Number Four looks like number two! Etc, whatever. Alex Pettyfer's abs costar alongside Alex Pettyfer's pecs in this movie about Alex Pettyfer's upper-arms teaming up with Alex Pettyfer's chiseled jawline to save the world from bad aliens or something. Diana Agron from TV's Chord Overstreet's Torso also appears. (Wide)

Immigration Tango

The trailer for this romantic comedy about a green card marriage that turns into something more hops along well enough until it ends on an unfortunate prison rape joke. Let's reiterate, folks: prison rape jokes aren't funny, even if they involve big fat guys. Maybe even especially then. (Limited release)

The Last Lions

Scar himself, Jeremy Irons, narrates this documentary about Africa's dwindling lion population and the struggle to preserve it. Some Zulu warrior who was eaten by a lion three hundred years ago is probably watching this from the afterlife and saying "My my my, how the tables have turned." Anyway, this will probably be depressing; yet another example of how, if nothing else, we as a species have proven amazingly adept at killing all the other species. (Limited)

Unknown

Liam Neeson plays a doctor of some sort who is married to a blank white wall (January Jones) and who, while visiting Berlin, has an accident, winds up in a coma, then wakes up and nobody recognizes him. Who's forgetting who? Who's crazy? Why is that blank white wall wearing a wig and how can it talk?? These are all the, um, Unknowns. (Wide)

Vanishing on 7th Street

Talented director Brad Anderson (dreamy Happy Accidents, chilly Transsiberian) wades into genuine B-movie territory with this thriller about the sole survivors of a strange event which has disappeared most of humanity and created a darkness that is out to get whoever's left. That a movie about an abandoned city being overcome by obliterating darkness is set in Detroit seems like something of a cruel shin-kick of irony, doesn't it? (NY, elsewhere next week)

We Are What We Are

This low-budget Mexican drama/thriller/horror picture is about teenage siblings whose father is killed, leaving them with nothing. So they end up resorting to cannibalism to survive. This is the light date movie you were looking for, I think. (NY)
