What's New For This Friday?

Hey Film Fans, It's Friday and that means it's time to take to the Multiplex to see, what's new in theatres. Um....really not that much. Hollywood has pretty much decided to take this week off to allow George Clooney's latest directorial effort, Leatherheads to dominate the box office. It's a good thing too because that's the only thing we were planning on seeing. Something about Clooney's dreamy eyes hypnotized us into buying tickets in advance and we're sure we won't be disappointed. Even if the movie is awful we get to indulge in our man-crush for as long as the movie lasts...which is frankly a tad bit unnerving, but he's just so charming.

Other films rounding out the new release docket tackle opposite ends of the age spectrum. Scorcese's Shine A Light, is about septegenarians who enjoy singing and playing instruments...occasionally joined by Christina Aguilera. Conversely Nim's Island is an Indiana Jones for kids who want to see kids play Indiana Jones starring academy award nominee Abigail Breslin and Academy Award Winner Jodie Foster in her first children's movie not co-starring Robert DeNiro and Harvey Keitel. There's also a slate of limited release flicks with big names, but according to their press reaction they don't warrant much attention. So basically there's five options for filmgoers this week: An hour and a half of Clooney, Old people rocking out with Christina Aguilera, Kid-iana Jones and Horton Hears a Who...or just stay home. If you read the first paragraph, you know which one we're angling for.
