MOPIX OC UPDATE
-- MoPix Update from WGBH - August 17
==================================================
MoPix Update from WGBH- August 17
The Invasion from Warner Bros. Pictures (cc only) (rated PG-13)
The Invasion tells the story of a mysterious epidemic that alters the
behavior of human beings. When a Washington D.C. psychiatrist (Nicole
Kidman) discovers the epidemic's origins are extraterrestrial, she must
fight to protect her son, who may hold the key to stopping the
escalating invasion.
Superbad from Sony Pictures (cc only) (rated R)
From producers Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson (The 40-Year-Old
Virgin), screenwriters Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen ("Da Ali G Show"), and
director Greg Mottola comes Superbad, a coming-of-age cautionary tale
about two socially inept teenage boys about to graduate high school.
Theirs is a ridiculously dependent friendship -- but now they've gotten
into different colleges and are forces to contemplate life apart.

to war against the reigning campus royalty.
* WGBH has developed a conversion to enable select Paramount and
DreamWorks films to be available via Rear Window Captioning systems.
Some of these titles will also be available with descriptions. The
latter will be designated "description" vs. DVS in our Updates to
indicate availability of that feature, though WGBH did not create those
descriptions.
