Up for release this weekend, we have four stars to choose from.

First off, The Condemned which stars Steve Austin & Vinnie Jones.  The raw movie is about a group of death row inmates, see the plot developing already?, that compete in a deadly game on a deserted island where the winner will live.  Sounds like the next step in reality TV, right?

The Invisible, with Justin Chatwin, will also see its debut this weekend.  Chatwin stars as a young man who is attacked & left for dead.  Apparently, his spirit finds itself trapped in a sort of limbo, where he’s not quite dead & not quite alive.  Interesting concept, for a DVD rental that is.

And I know you’ve been biting your nails waiting for Kickin’ It Old Skool, where a freak occurrence lands a 1980s preteen in a coma, only to wake up 20 years later to a much different world.  Bringing back the 80s, old school.
 
Nicolas Cage stars in the last of the weekend movie releases in the film Next.  Cage stars as a man that is being pursued by the government for the use of his ability, which is that he can see a few minor minutes into the future.  Might help you with football game bets though.

All in all, it’s not the best weekend movie release, but not the worst either.

In theaters this weekend, be prepared to find something else to do, like feed the ducks at your local pond or the like. 

If you haven’t seen a preview for the movie Vacancy, then you must be living in a very secretive cave, since the preview has been broadcasting just about everywhere.

This thriller that stars Luke Wilson & Kate Beckinsale is about a couple with car problems that check into a shoddy motel.  Wilson & Beckinsale’s characters happen to discover hidden cameras watching them in their motel room & find themselves the victims of a snuff film.

Sounds more like an indie film gone large, doesn’t it?  Can we say skip?  Yep, I think we can.

Also hitting movie screens this weekend is the new Ryan Gosling film Fracture.  Gosling stars as an assistant to the D.A. who is prosecuting a confessed killer, Anthony Hopkins, but things do not seem as simple as when he set out on the case.

Have to admit, this one kinda sounds interesting, right?  A maybe, but only because of Sir Hopkins.

Another newbie to the screens is Hot Fuzz, a movie about a top London cop who is incidentally transferred to a rural town.  Looks rather cute, a savior for this weekend’s releases if you ask me.

And lastly, In the Land of Women will see its movie debut.  This film, which stars Adam Brody & Meg Ryan, focuses on a young man with a broken heart who moves in to care for his grandmother & finds his way into the lives of the family living across the street.  This is going to need another skip, please.

All in all, not too hot of a weekend at the movie theaters.  But at least we have Hot Fuzz & Fracture to keep us company, eh?

Well, the weekend isn’t looking too terribly shabby. 

Disturbia is hitting movie screens this weekend & the film doesn’t look half bad.  Shia LaBeouf & Carrie-Anne Moss star in this flick about a young man under house arrest who becomes a voyeur of sorts & suspects that one of his neighbors is a serial killer.

Yeah, happens to me all the time.  Now, I know how most of you feel about the Matrix‘s Carrie-Anne, she’s a little on the annoying side, but I think we can all agree that we have found the perfect role to love/hate her in.

Also coming to the screens is a rather sexy number called Pathfinder.  The movie focuses on a Norse warrior who was incidentally raided by Native Americans & wages his own personal war to stop the Vikings invasions. 

That’s pretty sweet of him to take that all on himself, remind me to send him a thank you card.  Skip this one, unless you’re just going for the eye candy.
 
Halle Berry’s Perfect Stranger is coming to the box office this weekend.  Berry stars alongside Bruce Willis in this thriller about a man who might just be responsible for Berry’s friend’s murder. 

Kind of a murder in the red barn kinda thing, looks decent enough & any movie where you can gaze at Halle Berry is a-okay in my book.

Comedian Eddie Griffin has a new film this weekend, Redline is about a group of drivers that find themselves caught in a competition for a large illegal cash prize.  Just do what I do with any Griffin movie, skip it & burn the DVDs when they come out. 

Lastly, Slow Burn will be sharing its debut at the movie theaters this weekend.  The Ray Liotta film surrounds a district attorney who is trying to make heads or tails of a tough case involving the assistant D.A., a gand lord & a stranger.  Sounds like a DVD rental to me.

Whatever you choose to spend that hard-earned cash on this weekend, enjoy & see you bright-eyed & bushy-tailed on Monday.

There’s no use ignoring the fact that we’re all pretty much pumped about Grindhouse finally getting into movie theaters this weekend.  The Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez collaboration has us tingly all over & it’s not even lunchtime.

Grindhouse will release a double feature on screens this weekend, Rodriguez’s Planet Terror starring Rose McGowan & Tarantino’s Death Proof that sees Kurt Russell take the lead.  All in all, we’re damn excited about these thriller releases & all agree that the weekend could not get here any faster.

Also in theaters this weekend, Are We Done Yet?, the new Ice Cube movie that sees the actor move out of the city with his family & into a fixer-upper home in the suburbs.  Yeah, go ahead & skip this one, don’t ya think?

A new family film, Firehouse Dog, also sees its theater debut this weekend.  Rex, a Hollywood canine, gets lost in a movie stunt scene & is adopted as a mascot for a local fire station.  Sounds like this has family written all over it, in dog poo that is.

Hilary Swank’s The Reaping will be sharing the screens as well.  Swank, who stars as a religious myth-buster, gets the surprise of her life in a small Louisiana town.  I’ll leave this one up to you to decide.

So, Grindhouse it is & The Reaping a maybe.  Either way, we’re in for one hell of a weekend, eh?

Yep, this is the weekend you have waited your whole life for.  Will Ferrell & Jon Heder’s Blades of Glory is hitting movie theaters this weekend & I know you’re too excited to concentrate at work, I know you.

Blades of Glory sees Ferrell & Heder star as two rival ice skaters who were banned from the figure skating sport who find a loophole in the rules & team up together as a pair.  Should be a rollicking good time, for a Farrell movie.  

Also debuting this weekend, is the new film Meet the Robinsons.  In this animated feature, boy genius Wilbur Robinson creates a machine to recover the lost memories of the past.  Actually looks like a good family movie.

Next up we have The Lookout, which is about a former high school hockey champ who outwits a mob of criminals who plan on robbing the bank where he works as a janitor.  Do I hear, skip?
 
And finally, Peaceful Warrior hits the screens this weekend.  The film focuses on a stranger who leads a gymnast on a spiritual journey that will change his life.  I’m also hearing skip on this one.

With Blades of Glory at your grasp, I feel that you only need to see one movie in the theaters this weekend, and make it a matinee at that!
