The Experiment - Here we have an interesting straight-to-DVD release. This is a remake of The 2001 German film Das Experiment, which is a re-imagining of the infamous 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment. While I've heard this film doesn't quite work, it does feature a cast of Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, and Clifton Collins Jr., which is enough to keep me interested. The German original seems more interesting based on the trailer, though.

Ondine - I've heard some good things about this film, especially in regards to Colin Farrell's performance, who has recently turned into a decent actor. It's a fairy tale of sorts, which seems like it resembles Pan's Labyrinth in many ways.

Robin Hood - This film seemed to much like Gladiator, especially since it has the same director and lead actor combination. I wasn't impressed during its theatrical run, and I'm not terribly inclined to check it out on DVD.

What are you checking out this week?
Trevin you forgot to include FIFA 11 in your list, I hear that the animated cut-scenes are pretty sick! Jk, but honestly I cannot wait for the Legend of the Guardians to come out this weekend. It has been such a good year for animation so I hope this one does not disappoint.
ReplyDeleteI hope for the same as well. The trailer is one of the best trailers of the year in my opinion, and I'm really hoping the movie lives up to that.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do like FIFA.
