Looking at the Weekend

I don’t think this week will see a new number one. Of the two new releases, Tower Heist has the best chance.

Consensus

Below is a list of what we have come to a general consensus on. The number in parens represents the percentage of our contributors who agree with the statement.

Tower Heist: A good bet for any fan of the heist genre when mixed with comic elements.
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas: You have to be a fan to really get interested in this one.
Charlotte Rampling: The Look: We aren’t sure why a documentary needed to be made, but if you’re a fan it may be of interest to you.

Thoughts If a comedy can’t even try to fool you with a funny trailer, it’s not going to be funny.	Thoughts I’m in no great hurry to see this one, but if it starts to pick up Oscar buzz…	Thoughts Looks like a fun heist film, which means the Oscars will completely forget about it.

Thoughts A good actor biography is hard to find, so hopefully this is one.	Thoughts A Charlotte Rampling documentary? Why? Watch one of her films instead.	Thoughts These types of films don’t show up on the Oscar radar.
