Friday movie roundup: the best new movie no one will see
Its Friday, which means that a new batch of films is hitting the silver screen! Here’s what the film critics at Past the Popcorn have to say about this week’s releases:
It’s a tough week for new releases. The best option is an Argentinian foreign-language film that went into limited release in December, and opens this month in a few arthouses scattered across the country. If you like Woody Allen’s style without his amorality, and you don’t mind subtitles, Past the Popcorn’s Mike Smith says you might give this Guy Flick one or two thumbs up.
And now for the dregs. Seraphim Falls, a make-it-up-as-you-go Western with Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan, just fell flat for Jenn Wright. Mike Smith says don’t bother with Catch and Release–just leave your rod at home, and stay there with it. Mike Brunk likes Smokin’ Aces for what it is; but one-upping Tarantino might not be your idea of a cup of tea. And finally, Greg Wright gives Blood and Chocolate high marks for effort; but still, how hopeful and redemptive can vampire tales really be?
