Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!!!
One of this week's releases, Premonition, I've found to be the single most asked about film so far this year, with 300 close behind. That being said, Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes the Barley is definitely the most hyped film of this week and it had huge buzz at the film fest last September. I'm a little surprized it's only playing in 2 theatres, but we shall see how it progresses. This week we also have Fido, a Canadian zombie movie (I don't think I've ever typed that out before!). Continuing with scary themes we have Dead Silence and I Think I Love My Wife. Ok, I'm taking some liberties saying Chris Rock's new film is scary but from the title and the preview I think we could argue that it might qualify. Our last film of the week is the German cross culture romance/drama The White Masai.

Can you believe that "I think I love my wife" got two thumbs up?! I find THAT terrifying!
I haven't heard of the Barley movie and I didn't realize the zomie movie was Canadian, I should have known!
I didn't get out to see 300. R is coming home for a couple of days before going back to sea but we probably won't have time for a movie, we have a ton on tape for him to catch up on.
That was a long comment!
