Out this Week (03/07/09)

Not even a competition for this weeks top film with the closest other entry getting less than half the blobs of the leader. That leader, unsurprisingly, is Michael Mann's latest foray into crime: Public Enemies.



Embodiment of Evil

It's been 41 years since the last episode in this sadistic gravedigger series, however there's been no reimagining, simply a long prison sentence with the same actor-director taking the lead. Follow Ze as he cuts up the poor and dispossed of Sao Paulo!

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

OK, it's not art, and it won't have the complex storytelling techniques of the Pixar animations, but I do have a soft spot for the Ice Age films. The trailer promises more of the same buddy picture jokes, with some highly suspect evolution jumping hook. Expect everything Scrat does to be hilarious.

Kambakkt Ishq

The producers have worked a lot to promote this Akshay Kumar starring romance, with onset blogs and tie in (free) computer games. With it's Hollywood locations as well, this could be the best way to give Bollywood a taster.

Public Enemies

Or at least it would if I wasn't going to see this. Johnny Depp and Christian Bale face off in the taut action thriller from Micheal Mann, about the hero bank robbers from the 1930's and the creation of the FBI to thwart them. Their time was short and exciting. Can't wait to see how it's turned out.

S. Darko

Most pointless sequel of the year award (possibly) goes to Donnie's sister, who manages to get caught in a wormhole similar to that of her depressed older brother. Expect all the angst and resonance to be sucked out of this, leaving just a hollow core with a twisty non-sensical plot. Even Frank couldn't be persuaded to return.
