Movies This Week: March, 12, 2010

It’s a big weekend for movie premieres — if you’re a Twilight fan. Otherwise you’ve got your basic action film,  your basic different minorities get married and hilarity ensues film, and your even more basic loser somehow gets the hot girl film. While it’s doubtful any of these weekend flicks will go on to become award winners, they will certainly fulfill your weekend quota for drama, laughter, and Iraq Invasion references.

Green Zone

Matt Damon is back in action in this story exploring the events leading to the Iraq Invasion. When he uncovers faulty intelligence, he goes on a rogue operation to track down the suspected weapons of mass destruction in the unstable region named, The Green Zone. Action packed with more than a hint of reality.

Our Family Wedding

When a young couple return home with news of their engagement, they find out there’s more people involved in their impending marriage than they first thought. Both fathers go at each other and its any ones guess if they will survive for the big day. Rom-com starring Ugly Betty star, America Ferrera.

She’s Out Of My League

A young airport security guard somehow gains the affections of a beautiful, successful woman who’s well out of his league. He soon realizes he will have to up his game in order to hold onto her, and tries anything he can to make the relationship work. Check out his weird looking face on the cover!

Mother

An elderly mother tries her best to keep her easily led son out of prison and away from criminal elements. When he is arrested for the murder of a young girl, his mother does as much as she can to prove his innocence, whilst battling with uncooperative officers who are just looking to close the case.

Remember Me

Twilight star (well at least among teen girls!), Robert Pattinson plays a young rebellious New Yorker, who has a turbulent relationship with his father, Pierce Brosnan. After meeting a girl with similar family problems, he begins to fall in love and find meaning to his life. I can think of better ways to spend an hour and a half!
