Another week, another round of film releases! Let's go over those slated for release this Friday, October 9.
The big one is Couples Retreat. It's got a pretty good cast, featuring Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell, Fazion Love, Malin Akerman, and Jon Favreau. I think it will probably be pretty funny, but my hopes aren't too sky high, mostly because Vince Vaughn is pretty trite, and the PG-13 rating will hold it back.
Also out this week in select theaters are: Bronson, An Education, Adventures of Power, and St. Trinian's.
Bronson, starring Tom Hardy, is about a boy who is sentenced to 7 years in prison for robbing a post office, but ends up spending 34 years after he develops an alter ego and becomes violent. It looks like one of those funny-bloody British movies that Guy Ritchie would make.
An Education, while having a pretty good cast (Peter Sarsgaard, Alfred Molina, Dominic Cooper, Rosamund Pike) looks downright boring.
Adventures of Power looks hilarious. It's about a guy who worked in the copper mines of the West, but his real passion is for air-drumming, so he goes to Newark to chase his dreams of being an air-drummer. It kind of sounds like the plot to a Ben Stiller movie (Zoolander meets Dodgeball?) but it looks really funny. Plus it's got Jane Lynch and Adrian Grenier in it.
I don't know what to think about St. Trinian's. It was released like 2 years ago in the UK, but is just making its way to US theatres. I'm betting it is going to be dumb-funny. Russell Brand makes it worth seeing.
