Here is the movies list for January 2009. I also make recommendations of which movies you should watch (if you can't make up your mind). Prepare yourself, prepare your budget, and start watching the movies.
1. BRIDE WARS - January 9
Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal "must have" list: a ceremony at New York's ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel.
Now, at age 26, they're both about to get married; they're about to realize their dreams; and they're about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not... When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates - they're now to be married on the same date! - Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won't settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled.
Now, the two best friends who'd do anything for each other, find themselves in a no-holds- barred, take-no-prisoners struggle that threatens to erupt into all- out war.
2. BUTTERFLY EFFECT: REVELATION - January 9
A young man discovers he has inherited the powers of "The Butterfly Effect" and attempts to solve the mystery of his high school girlfriend's death using his newfound ability, only to unwittingly unleash a vicious serial killer.
"This synopsis is too short and may not include the required detailed description of the entire plot. We normally require that synopses be at least 10 lines long. If you have seen this title, please help us by improving and expanding this synopsis,"
as written in the internet movie database site or known as IMDb.com. Indeed, the synopsis is too short.
3. PAUL BLART: MALL COP - January 16
In Columbia Pictures' comedy "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", Kevin James stars as the title character, a single, suburban dad, trying to make ends meet as a security officer at a New Jersey mall.
For years, he has applied to become a cop, but he always fails the physics exam due to his overweight. One day, a gang of organized criminals place the mall under siege and take hostages.
Blart becomes trapped inside, and because of his sense of duty, refuses to leave. He thus becomes the police's eyes on the inside and has to stop the criminals on his own.

This prequel story delves into the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires, known as Death Dealers, and the barbaric Lycans (werewolves).
A young Lycan, Lucian (Michael Sheen), emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Bill Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has persecuted them for hundreds of years.

Mo Folchart (Fraiser) drags his daughter Meggie (Bennet) all around the world. At the last home, an old enigmatic acquaintence of Mo's shows up named Dustfinger (Bettany). All of a sudden the next morning Mo packs up and leaves with Meggie without telling her what is going on.
They travel to Meggie's Great Aunt Eleanor's (Mirren) house to stay at. Then one night a bunch of thugs arrive at the house and kidnap Mo to take him to see Capricorn, a cruel and evil dictator. Meggie soon finds out that Mo has the ability to read characters out of books. The only drawback is that when he brings something out of a story, something must go back in to replace it. This is how Meggie lost her mother Theresa and Capricorn and Dustfinger are characters from a book called Inkheart. Determined to get Mo back, Meggie sets out with Eleanor to Capricorn's village. However, in short of arriving there, both women are also abducted and locked up with Mo. Dustfinger soon comes to the rescue and smuggles them out with a boy who also come out of a book named Farid.
Now the group of them must find away to get another copy of Inkheart to send Capricorn and his thieves back into its pages.
