Out this week (01/08/08)

I have some DIY to do, myself. The dogs will need walking too. I have an audition on Sunday. There are lots of things I could be doing this weekend. It's a bloody good job, too, as this list of films is certainly enough to make me avoid the cinema.

Cass

Based on a true story this film charts the rise of a London ganster, who then (after being shot 3 times) decides to renounce his former life. It's like a british Get Rich or Die Tryin, only without the record contracts at the end.

Are you still here?

Love Guru

Indian stereotypes that haven't been explored since Peter Sellers was alive get dusted off for this dreadful looking Mike Myer "comedy". Ben Kingsley offers more proof that he spends more time reading the contract than the script.

Married Life

Delayed release from about 5 weeks ago this tale of marital infedelity has gained an extra star because it has no competition this week. Nice of picture of Pierce Brosnan and Rachel McAdams at the beginning of the post, isn't it?

Space Chimps

Monkeys go into space, animated hijinks ensue. Some kids are very easy to please. My brain is bleeding.

X-files: I want to believe

I do wonder what it is they want to believe. Maybe it's whether there's still an audience for this 6 years too late TV adaptation. Gillian Anderson still looks good in an older woman kind of way so she gets an extra blob.

If all this is making you ask how bad does a film need to be to get just one out of ten - tune in next week.
