Fall movie preview: Saving 2008?

“Zack and Miri Make a Porno” (Oct. 31)

Seth Rogen shifts gears from Judd Apatow to Kevin Smith in the indie icon’s latest raunchy comedy. Rogen stars as Zack (Rogen) who reevaluates his long-time platonic friendship with Miri (Elizabeth Banks) after they decide to make an adult film to earn money. Count on Smith, who won an appeal to lower the NC-17 rating to R, to embrace the dirty stuff while finding the heart within. Plus, Traci Lords plays a character named Bubbles. Nice.
