RECOMMENDED: By now, you’ve probably read at least something about Food, Inc., director Robert Kenner’s indictment of the American food system, and all of the crazy, shit-tastic things it’s doing to people and farmers and small businesses and other living things. And it would seem that, whatever light Supersize Me! turned on above your head regarding fast food, Food, Inc. promises to do for any other foods that aren’t 100% organic. We have a feeling this movie is gonna grow legs for the organic movement the way The Omnivore’s Dilemma never could, and, hey, that can’t be a bad thing. Take anyone you know who subsists mainly on orange-colored food. Promise you’ll buy them nachos. Whatever it takes.

ALSO NEW IN THEATERS THIS WEEK: Year One, which, if you haven’t experienced it yet, is the moment that your brain finally announces to you and everyone you know that Jack Black needs to go away forever; and The Proposal, a Sandra Bullock vehicle that is, oh, we’ll just let you guess what it’s about.
