Tasty Vittles -- 'The Taking of Pelham 123'; 'Moon'; 'Tetro'

Required viewing from the week in movies.

The original "Taking of Pelham 123" is one of those great '70s cop movies where everyone is grizzled and pissed off. The new one has John Travolta sporting weird Fu Manchu facial hair. It's true that everything was better in the '70s. Particularly Travolta.
Francis Ford Coppola's latest, the black & white Argentine-set drama "Tetro," is his first original screenplay since "The Conversation." But it also stars the supremely irritating Vincent Gallo. Still, can't be any worse than "Jack."
So Eddie Murphy's daughter in "Imagine That" uses her imaginary world to predict stock prices? Seems like a round-about get-rich-quick scheme. Can't she just offer up winning lotto numbers or something?
The new indie sci-fi film "Moon" has several things going for it: an eerie Kubrick-esque vibe, the reliably oddball Sam Rockwell as its lead, and the son of David Bowie in the director's chair. If nothing else, it'll be the stoner movie to beat this summer.
