Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - This is a film I've been anticipating for a while, mainly to see the pairing of Michael Cera with the great British film director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). The rest of the cast looks amazing, which includes Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, Funny People) and Anna Kendrick (Rocket Science, Up In the Air), among others. The reviews have been saying it's visually unique and quite entertaining, even though the script seems a bit lacking. I think this film will be overall enjoyable.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Eat Pray Love - This Julia Roberts movie based on the novel of the same name has absolutely no appeal to me. Plus, the reviews have been largely negative, so I think I'll pass on this one.
Rating: 1 out of 5
The Expendables - I've been anticipating this one for a while, mainly for it's cast. The film has just about every washed-up action star out there: including Sylvester Stallone (who directed as well), Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, (Stone Cold) Steve Austin, and Mickey Rourke. Sign me up, this should be one, so-bad-it's-awesome ride.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Animal Kingdom (limited) - This film about organized crime in Australia received great buzz and reviews out of Sundance. The trailer looks great, so I'm interested in seeing this one.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Tales From Earthsea (limited) - This is the feature film debut of Goro Miyazaki, son of the legendary animated film director Hayao Miyazaki (Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away). The reviews have been mixed to negative, but it would be interested to see what he does well, and if he's ever going to be a director at the level of his father.
Rating: 3 out of 5
