Casey: The release of a documentary after Michael Jackson's death on June 25 was inevitable since fans were ravenous for a glimpse of Jackson's final days before his sold-out, final tour.

HOLLY LEBER: The appeal of "Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant" does not lie in the title character. It's an odd little underdog story -- a bored teenager trapped in a high school where, for some reason, everyone wears pastels. He sneaks out one night to a freak show, steals a spider, becomes a half-vampire, makes friends with a snake boy, falls for a monkey girl -- you know, ordinary stuff. All this is embellished with freaky visual effects.

Sure, they say the clothes make the man (or woman), but without the right canvas, you might as well go naked. OK, not really. This is not advocating using a bad hair day as an excuse to go streaking down Market Street. Frizz happens; it's not worth getting arrested over.

CASEY PHILLIPS: Just like its premise, “Couples Retreat” is basically a rainy day at the beach. All the right ingredients are there — the ocean, the palm trees, the rum drinks — but extenuating circumstances have dampened the fun.

“In the Loop” is a whip-smart, razor-sharp political satire, shot documentary style, hilariously nasty, complete with characters who utter things like, “You sound like a (expletive deleted) Nazi Julie Andrews,” with a perfectly straight face.

CASEY PHILLIPS: Like "Erin Brockovich" and "Michael Clayton," Steven Soderbergh's "The Informant!" succeeds by pushing the small type and legalese of a lusterless plot to the background and directing attention to a magnetically powerful performance by its lead actor.

Tennessee may be growing as a film-making state -- Moviemaker magazine ranked Memphis no. 8 on its 2009 list of best spots for filmmakers -- but seeing Chattanooga on the big screen is still novel enough to be exciting.

Nathan Earl was panting.
But the 6-foot 2-inch, 212-pound 32-year-old wasn't lifting 200-pound weights or running suicide drills. He was standing, knees bent, on a BOSU ball, a gelatinous half sphere that demands core strength, balance and a good center of gravity if you don't want to end up sprawled on the floor.
