Now that we've caught up with the last Reader Request (Beauty & The Beast) and we're finally done with 2010 movies (Jesus, that took forever!), it's time to really dig into 2011. The earliest releases of 2011 are already on DVD and the summer movie is in full swing. Here is a list of newish movies from either the past couple of weeks or today's DVD batch. It's time to bring back the Reader Request.
- GNOMEO & JULIET -garden gnomes do Shakespeare in this animated film.
- I AM NUMBER FOUR- alex pettyfer shoots stuff from his hands in sci-fi/romance.
- THE MECHANIC - jason statham teaches ben foster how to kill people.
- NO STRINGS ATTACHED - natalie portman and ashton kutcher are f***buddies.
- THE OTHER WOMAN -natalie portman marries another woman's man.
- THE RITE -studying exorcism with scary-eyed anthony hopkins.
- THE ROOMMATE -leighton & minka rip off "single white female" in college thriller.
Which of those 2011 feature releases would you like Nathaniel to write-up about? Your vote is my command.
"at the ballet-ayyyyyyyyyy"I'll write up the winning choice for next Monday. UPDATE: HERE IS THE WRITE UP ON THE OTHER WOMAN.
There are two documentaries also hitting DVD that I've already written about, the orangutan in captivity meditation known as Nenette (brief thoughts) and the Broadway doc Every Little Step (review) which is worth seeing if you have any emotional investment in "A Chorus Line" or any intellectual curiousity about the casting process on big Broadway shows.
