Every Friday, I'll post a list of the movies that are being released and give you my thoughts of the ones I've seen or would like to see. Please comment with your thoughts too!
For Greater Glory was screened for Cinemit members in NYC, Boston and Washington D.C. @jonctaylor said, "Portrayal of events deeply inspiring to some. Native language/subtitles could've given an artistic lift." Not really my cup o'tea, but probably some great performances.
I enjoyed Mirror Mirror (read my review here), released last month, but Snow White and the Huntsman is on the darker side (read my review here) and not nearly as good as I was hoping.
Hailing from Algeria, A Cat in Paris screened at the Children's International Film Festival in New York, and also was nominated for an Oscar as Best Animated Feature Film of the Year. Looks to be a lot of fun, I love cat movies!
Piranha 3D was one of my guilty pleasures last year, and was initially excited to hear of a sequel, Piranha 3D, but now I'm hesitant as I've seen very little advertisement and it will most likely be ridiculous. The question now is, will it be fun and mindless or mind-numbing?
