On Friday, another two movies make their debut: the animated Disney flick Planes and the Matt Damon drama Elysium.  Here’s a closer look:

Planes: Dane Cook voices Dusty, a crop duster that’s afraid of heights but pushes itself to the limit to compete in a global air race.  Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Teri Hatcher, Brad Garrett, John Cleese and Val Kilmer also lend their voices to the film, which is screening in 3D.  Rated PG.

Elysium: The film is set in a futuristic world where the wealthy live on a space station called Elysium, and the rest of civilization inhabits a not-so-nice planet.  Matt Damon’s Max takes on a dangerous mission to unite the two worlds.  Jodie Foster and Sharlto Copley also star in the movie, which was helmed by District 9 director Neill Blomkamp.  Rated R.  [Click here to read a review]
