Best Week At The Movies In Ages!

Two main reasons:



1) The Science of Sleep finally gets a theatrical release after having premiered at the International Film Fest in July last year. If you missed it then you have no excuses - you owe it to yourself to watch this movie. If you loved Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind then you will totally dig it - Science of Sleep is easily on a par with that one. Not to mention it has Gael Garcia Bernal in one of his best roles to date :p Charlotte Gainsbourg (sp?) is also really good, I found her so damn attractive in this movie, I guess because she isn't what you would traditionally call attractive but I found myself drawn to her nonetheless.

I thought it was only going to come out at Rialto but it's actually showing at Queen St too so you you can't bitch about having to travel to go watch it. Watch it before Gael hits the mainstream and you can claim you owned him beforehand like I do with Scarlett hehe :p




2)The DESCENT!!!!! After what seems like an age it finally comes out in cinemas here. I saw it April last year when I was in England and even in broad daylight on DVD it was the scariest movie I have seen in a long, long time. I showed it to my friends at a movie night and they all agreed. If you want to see the first truly scary horror movie in a long time then go see it. I am tempted to actually watch this own again to see how an audience reacts to it - especially the viewfinder moment heh! Although the fucking advertising department had it in one of the trailers I saw recently before a movie - way to go ruin the best part of the movie nongheads.

Oh and it is the directors cut version not the stupid watered dawn typical Hollywood ending that US audiences got.

A few more reasons why this week rocks:



The Good German is out - Steven Soderbergh's homage to 1940's noir in the spirit of movies like The Third Man and Casablanca. Shot only with 1940's technology this is a filmlovers wet dream and the closest most will get to seeing Casablanca on the silver screen. Not to mention Cate Blanchett looks absolutely GORGEOUS mmmm. Black and White really does bring out some beautiful results. It's not perfect but I definately recommend it to most audiences. (Full Review forthcoming I think :p)

NEW Spiderman 3 footage - thanks to AICN and NBC you can watch an 8minute sequence of the upcoming film which features a kick-ass fight between Spidey and Harry Osborne (James Franco)

Not sure if that link still works though, Sony might have taken it down already.

Only 1 WEEK till Hot Fuzz and Miss Potter come out!!!

Less than 1 MONTH till 300 and Pan's Labyrinth!!!
