The big release this week is The Twilight Saga: New Moon. The reviews haven’t been too great with film currently having a 29% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, the Twilight sequel still seems destined to dominated, since I doubt that Blind Side (66% Fresh) and Planet 51 (18% Fresh) will offer much competition.
In limited release sees two good-reviewed films by some popular international directors. Those would be Werner Herzog‘s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (89% Fresh) and John Woo’s Red Cliff (87% Fresh).
And that’s this weekend in movies.

I was meaning to start this column last week, but I never found time to do it. Basically, each week I will provide my thoughts about the major theatrical releases for the week. These aren’t reviews and, chance are, I will never see the majority of the movies I talk about. Let’s get started. ElektraIn…
The awards have been announced for the 2014 Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Mirroring the original film’s win in 2009, the Gold Audience Award went to Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead. This marks the third year in a row that a zombie film has won the audience award, which seems to suggest a pattern. …
