“After the big debut of Shutter Island, I doubt any of the new films can take over the top spot, although it is still a possibility. Two big entries this week will be coming to theaters. My pick of the week is The Crazies, a remake of a 1973 horror film. However of course it will be competing with the horror thriller which stars DiCaprio. Coming in 3000+ theaters is Cop Out, a comedy starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan which will probably track close to Shutter Island for the top spot. Among the other new entries, I would suggest France’s A Prophet which is one of the front-runners for best foreign film in the coming Academy Awards”
The Crazies, A Prophet
Watch It
Cop Out, Formosa Betrayed, The Art of Steal
Netflix It (Two investigation films and a documentaries! One investigation film is a comedy that will definitely attract a younger audience and the other is a thriller opening in a handful of theaters. Both probably great with a bucket of popcorn on a Saturday night. The documentary is a film about a 25 billion dollar art controversy which may be interesting to check out)
Prodigal Sons, The Yellow Handkerchief
Skip It (The first is a documentary about a family coming to terms with it’s past and present and the second is about a guy who goes to jail starring Kristen Stewart before she became famous on Twilight. Both look boring and straight to dvd)
