FILM OF THE WEEK:
The Limits of Control
dir. Jim Jarmusch
Starring: Isaach De Bankolé

All that really needs to be said is new Jim Jarmusch. But since that would be the short way out I’ll continue with that Jarmusch never misses. This film looks mysterious and fantastic - the buzz is positive. I see no way this can go too wrong.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
dir. Gavin Hood
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds

Despite the early leak of a rough cut of this film there has continued to be a lot of positive buzz about the fourth live action X-Men film. The other three were essentially about Wolverine, but this Wolverine focused film comes on the heels of Wolverine month at Marvel (how coincidental) and appears to be a success. This film will definitely be at the top of box office charts to be sure.

Battle for Terra
dir. Aristomenis Tsirbas
Starring: Evan Rachel Wood, Luke Wilson, Justin Long

Despite the absurd looks of this debut animation endeavor from Snoot Entertainment there has been nothing but positive buzz about this film. IMDB is predicting a big success here, I wouldn’t be surprised. Kid’s movies have done very well at the box office so far this year, and we’re waiting for something to displace the mediocre Monsters vs. Aliens as this year’s reigning kid’s champion.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
dir. Mark Waters
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Emma Stone

Dear lord, make it end. It’s sure to be a disaster.
