The movie is now expending Nationwide, and it's still a must see at the movies.

Last Chance Harvey
It sounds nice, but I think I'll wait for the rental.
Synopsis: Last Chance Harvey tells the story of a man (Dustin Hoffman), who goes to London for his daughter's wedding. While things don't turn out the way he thought they would, he also ends up meeting a woman (Emma Thompson). I'll let you guess the rest (or really the trailer will give away the rest).
Notorious
The Life of Biggie Smalls on the Big screen is not a small thing. Yup, I know. My rhymes are dope. Ha!
Synopsis::"Notorious" is about the life of rapper Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. In just a few short years, The Notorious B.I.G. rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.

Ok, I am being super kind here. I think I will watch this when it comes on HBO.

HELL WILL FREEZE FIRST
My Bloody Valentine 3D
Again, I do not like horror movies.

Tom Hanniger, an inexperienced coal miner, caused an accident in the tunnels that trapped and killed five men and sent the only survivor, Harry Warden, into a permanent coma. But Harry Warden wanted revenge. Exactly one year later, on Valentine's Day, he woke up...and brutally murdered twenty-two people with a pickaxe before being killed.
Ten years later, Tom Hanniger returns to Harmony on Valentine's Day, still haunted by the deaths he caused. Struggling to make amends with his past, he grapples with unresolved feelings for his ex-girlfriend, Sarah, who is now married to his best friend, Axel, the town sheriff. But tonight, after years of peace, something from Harmony's dark past has returned. Wearing a miner's mask and armed with a pickaxe, an unstoppable killer is on the loose.

A Hotel for dogs....need I say more.Maybe if I was five, I would see the appeal.
