Hitting movie theaters this weekend:
Colombiana – Zoe Saldana, Michael Vartan, Callum Blue
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark – Katie Holmes, Guy Pearce, Bailee Madison
Our Idiot Brother – Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel
Brighton Rock (limited) – Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Serkis
Movie of the Week
Colombiana
The Stars: Zoe Saldana, Michael Vartan, Callum Blue
The Plot: After witnessing her parents’ murder as a child in Bogota, a young woman (Soldana) grows up to be a stone-cold assassin.
The Buzz: Not a lot of buzz, and not a lot of competition. However, Zoe Saldana looks pretty awesome in the trailer, taking the bull by the horns and dishing out sweet revenge, and it’s cool to see Michael Vartan’s along for the ride too. I wasn’t surprised to learn that Luc Besson wrote the screenplay, as the whole deal has a very La Femme Nikita vibe to it.
