Out this week (09/01/2009)

Toughie this week as two films draw on 6 coloured blobs. If you're in a mood to watch Jews killing Nazis then Defiance may be the one for you this weekend. I'm drawn that way, but only because I've already seen the incredible Slumdog Millionaire. I doubt Defiance will better Slumdog so see that and weep like a baby at the end of the feel good film of the year.

Bride Wars

Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson slum it in this tosh about two best friends whose weddings clash. Or at least Anne is slumming for Kate this is bread and butter work now.

Defiance

Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell are brothers. Damn, that's good genes. (Although I'm not sure that's an appropriate response to a holocaust movie)

Hannah takes the Stairs

The film that encompasses all the ideas of mumblecore - digital filming, low budget, using your mates, improvised dialogue, poor sound quality, virtually no audience.

Role Models

Starring Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd as the last men in the world to be selected as McLovin's role models this is the comedy the guys will watch whilst the girls see Bride Wars and I see something else.

Sex Drive

Unless that is the guys gop to see this teen road movie with an internet romance at it's core. Better trailer than synopsis.

Slumdog Millionaire

Coming out of nowhere, or Toronto really, this gem of a movie from Danny Boyle is possibly going to take this years Best Picture Oscar. I saw it on Monday and it's flippin' fantastic.

Stuck

Did you wonder what happened to Mena Suvari? Well here she is finding that when you run someone over your fate is linked with theirs... Am I the only person not surprised by that?
