This weekend features three major releases.
Frankenweenie: A tale of the love between a boy and his dog that transcends
the grave when young Victor manages to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to
life. Burton clearly has an affection for the Halloween holiday (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and all things creepy (just about every other film he's done - Dark Shadows, Corpse Bride, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorshands, Sweeney Todd, ...) From the fertile (and weird) mind of Tim Burton I’m sure this will be a
kids film that parents will love just as much.
Pitch Perfect: Leaked in limited release a week ago, Pitch
Perfect expands in full release this week. With lots of music, comedy and great
buzz, I think it will be competing with Frankenweenie for the top box office
spot this week. As a fan of Glee and The Sing-Off (and just about every other
vocal competition out there … except Duets and the stuff on the country music
channel), I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while!
Taken 2: After Taken, you got the impression that deadly
covert operative Bryan Mills reunited with his wife Lenore after he saved the
life of his daughter Kim who’d been traveling in Europe with a friend when she was taken. Now both
of them are set to be taken in Taken 2. I don’t know but if I were Lenore, this
would probably be grounds for a second divorce. First they take my daughter?
Now they take me and my daughter for a second time? Enough is enough! Taken 2
looks like it’s bringing the action though and if you want action (and/or Liam Neeson), this would
be your best bet for the weekend.
