Weekend Watch - Dec. 11, 2009

This weekend, Disney makes money and Morgan Freeman phones in an Oscar performance.

The Princess and the Frog - Disney reworks "The Frog Princess" into a story about New Orleans. This is Disney's first African-American princess in their canon, and despite a few minorly offensive stereotypes in the trailer, Oprah Winfrey's on board. Look out, Twilight - Disney's gonna make a buttload of money this week.

Invictus - Clint Eastwood. Morgan Freeman plays Nelson Mandela. Can we just give them Oscars already?

The Lovely Bones - Peter Jackson directs the book adaptation about a girl in heaven looking down on the aftermath of a grisly murder - her own. Oscar contender, for sure.

And rumor has it that Me & Orson Welles, starring Zac Efron (swoon away, ladies), may be opening wide this week. Will we at Valpo be among the lucky? We'll see...
