Hello. Here are this week's new films:
Opening in Wide Release:
- "The Dark Knight" - Bruce Wayne/Batman is forced to defend Gotham City from...oh come on, you already know what this is about! It's the Dark friggin' Knight! Rated PG-13.
- "Mamma Mia!" - Based on the beloved musical. A young woman getting married in Greece locates three men, one of whom may possibly be her father, and invites them to her wedding. Lots of ABBA, songs and dancing. Not for me, but the audience for this kind of thing should be pleased. Rated PG-13.
- "Space Chimps" - This animated film is like an alternate version of "Planet of the Apes." A group of monkeys trained for space travel crashland on a strange planet and find themselves saving its inhabitants from a mad dictator. This looks like a perfectly harmless movie for young kids, but I'd recommend seeing "Wall-E" again instead. Rated G.
Opening in Limited Release:
- "Transsiberian" - An American couple taking a train from China to Russia meet another mysterious couple and soon find themselves drawn into a terrifying ordeal. Brad Anderson, the director, has also made "The Machinist" and "Session 9," two of the best (and creepiest) movies you've probably never seen, and this film looks to be just as dark and thrilling as his other works. I believe this film will be coming out in wider release later; whatever the case, make sure you check this film out. Rated R.
