Greetings movie fans. The highlight of this weekend must be the release of the latest in the “Bourne” series of films. In this one, The Bourne Legacy, Jeremy Renner, Rachael Weisz, and Edward Norton bring the story forward with a new hero who is in the same boat as those faces by Jason Bourne in the first three films. Also, a fairly large release is “The Campaign” a comedy about politics with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis work to try to save the election after a huge gaffe by Will’s character just days before Election Day.
Other smaller films are “2 Days in New York” a sort of romantic comedy with the emphasis on the comedy, featuring Chris Rock and Julie Delpy. “Freelancers” Robert DeNiro, Forest Whittaker in a crime story about the LAPD force in a violent story of a cop hell bent to find out the truth of what happened at his father’s death. “Hope Springs” is the comedy about a couple who’s marriage has turned boring who seek out advice from a love councilor. Merle Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, and a very unconventional advisor played by Steve Careell.
“Red Hook Summer” is a generational drama about a young man who moves in with and tries to get along with his very religious grandfather, and finally “Nitro Circus: The Movie” which is kind of like “jackass on steroids” kind of film of a few guys with a death wash. Trying harder and harder to impress with very dangerous extreme stunts.
