While the movie theatre air conditioners may be a good escape from the last bouts of summer, the blockbuster season is clearly over. The month's not all lost: "Extract," "The Informant," and the animated flick "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" are worth your popcorn money. Fair warning on the rest: if you can't enjoy a bad movie because it's bad, you're out of luck.

Extract

Mike Judge, the mastermind behind "Office Space," is back in theatres. Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck and Mila Kunis star in the flick following the owner of a flavor extract company and his band of wacky employees. This one looks good enough that we might have to forgive Judge for the mediocrity that was "Idiocracy."

Gamer

In the future, humans don't care about randomly killing people for sport. We also haven't progressed from heavy metal soundtracks while people shoot each other to death. This seems like a rehashing of several different movies but the most recent is last year's "Death Race." Anything that the movie gains by having Dexter himself, Michael C. Hall play a role is immediately taken away for having Luda-Luda himself, Ludacris, also in a role.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Meatballs! In 3-D! This animated film is loosely based on the children's book of the same name. The book tales the tell of the weather in the town of Chewandswallow, where they experience storms of epic proportions. The movie parodies a number of disaster movies like "Armageddon" and "Twister" while also giving us the backstory to how Chewandswallow ended up with their tomato sauce tornadoes.

Jennifer's Body

I almost made it a whole month without mentioning Megan "Look at me! Look at me!" Fox. Foxy Megan was getting a lot of buzz at SM's deadline for being rumored to be donning the black leather of Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's third Batman flick. Luckily the Nolan camp put the kibosh on that and we can all go back to petitioning Eliza Dushku for the role. In "Jennifer's Body," Fox eats high school boys. That last part wasn't a joke, the movie's scribe, Diablo Cody, seriously wrote a movie where Megan Fox eats high school boys. I hope she at least calls them on her hamburger phone first.

The Informant!

Matt Damon stars in this comedy about a man who joins a government investigation against the company that he works for. The plot may sound dry, but Matt Damon wears a funny mustache. Okay fine, the actual subject is not exactly comedy material, but Damon's take on the main character (and real life informant) Mark Whitacre is quite hilarious.

Surrogates

Another futuristic movie that goes out of its way to point out how lazy and paranoid humans are. In this future, humans sit in a chair and control a robot that goes out and lives in the real world. The future's technology is so awesome that lead actor Bruce Willis's surrogate has a convincing head of hair. When people start dying while being connected to the surrogates, Bruce Willis (the real bald one) has to investigate.
