HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS:
PART 1
Starring: Daniel
Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Finnes,
Bill Nighy, Robbie
Coltrane, John Hurt, Rhys Ifans,
Maggie Smith &
Helena Bonham Carter
Directed by David
Yates for distribution by Warner Brothers
The Plot: The final
showdown with the evil Lord Voldemort (Finnes) begins as Harry Potter (Radcliffe)
and friends try to track down the source of his power.
The Final Word: After a ten year ride, the Harry Potter film series is almost over, but
fans of the iconic characters won’t have to say goodbye just yet. With the final
installment being deemed too long, Warner Brothers had to split the last book into two films. Although
despite their initial plans to release both movies in 3D, only part two (out next
summer) will get the extra dimension treatment. Somehow, I don’t think that will
really impact the box office…
THE NEXT THREE DAYS
Starring: Russell
Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Nesson & Brian Dennehy
Directed by Paul
Haggis for distribution by Lionsgate
The Plot: After his
wife (Banks) is sent to prison for a murder he believes she didn’t commit, a
husband (Crowe) plots a dangerous jailbreak.
The Final Word: Academy Award winner Paul Haggis
returns to theatres for his highest profile film since he won the Oscar for
“Crash.” In this remake of the French film Pour
Elle, Crowe will try to give his career a much needed jump start. While the movie itself didn't start off with a strong buzz, this action drama with a edge, has come on strong in the last few weeks to become a legit dark horse.
Previewed next week: "Tangled," "Burlesque," "Love & Other Drugs," "Faster" & "The Nutcracker 3D."
