By Matt Pais • Metromix producer MOVIES Now in theaters "The Iron Lady" Meryl Streep should land yet another Oscar nomination for her role in this just-OK biopic about British Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher. "Contraband" An ex-criminal (Mark Wahlberg) must return to his old ways to save a family member, a plot we've surely never seen before. "Joyful Noise" Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton star in this lighthearted tale about a choir competition. "Carnage" Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz are great in Roman Polanski's adaptation of the hit play "God of Carnage." "Newlyweds" Writer-director Edward Burns doesn't have much to say with this inane examination of marriage.
