Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!!!
We have so many releases this week, it's a challenge to decide where to begin! Hmm.. well I'll just pick something I suppose! We have two Canadian releases this week, both of which were selected to Canada's Top Ten. Radiant City, a documentary on suburban sprawl as well as Congorama, a drama seeped in searching for family. I am thrilled to share that The Host opens this weekend, this South Korean horror film apparently just blew away box office records and seeing the preview I was really impressed (gotta love previews that are combination of music & visuals... you get the essence of the film with minimum content spoilage).
However, you may be looking for some giggles instead of scares in which case what could be more funny than Will Ferrell figure skating in Blades of Glory? Perhaps crime-drama's are more your thing, in which case The Lookout may be of interest. If you are looking for family fare, take yours out to Meet the Robinsons for some animated family fun.
This week, there really is something for everyone! Enjoy!

I saw a preview for The Host and it looks like some gory kind of fun Shannon. I think I would personally choose that above Blades of Glory but that's me. It'll probably be another weekend at home, no movies (sniff) but we'll survive. Reading your blog helps.
