Well another week is on us, this week is a bit drab on movie releases in UK and Ireland compared to previous weeks. This week we have the king of pop’s last stance, an education is loving in 1960, a dark animation of ragdolls in a bleak dystopian world, classic horror of werewolves sightseeing in London. We also have a Aussie Horseman who cant even see his own country’s cinema, classic 1940’s movie and tales from a Romanian post communist .
I’m not really sure what movie to see this week, last week I didn’t go to the cinema but now I’ve finally got a job!!! (start Monday it too me 9 months!!!) I think i may go see a movie from Last week or if I was to choose a movie from this week, I would choose 9. It’s dark, bleak and completely different from any other animation, plus its got Tim Burton as a producer! Anyway whatever movie you choose enjoy and please come back and tell us your thought s on the movie.
