New To Theatres This Weekend: Yes Man, Seven Pounds, The Tale of Despereaux

Posted by on December 19th, 2008   Filed under: New Releases

Well we’re only a week away from Christmas and I have to say I’m not overly excited about the selection of movies in theatres right now. I know some people are happy to see Jim Carrey return to form with Yes Man, and Will Smith fans are no doubt intrigued by Seven Pounds, but come on — The Tale of Despereaux is one CG mouse movie too many. Your best bet is to try and catch The Wrestler which finally opens in four whole theatres this weekend, or Slumdog Millionaire which is finally closing in on a wide release. Are you planning on seeing anything this weekend?

Yes Man
Seven Pounds
The Tale of Despereaux
The Class (limited)
The Wrestler (limited)
Slumdog Millionaire (expanding)



  • I’d only go see “The Wrestler” as I used to be wrestling junkie (wwf,awa,nwa) in the 80’s – early 90’s. This kind of reminds me of Jake “The Snake” Robert’s real life saga.

    December’s movie releases are killing me. Gran Torino is finally opening in Toronto so that will probably be the only thing I see this weekend since I’ve seen everything else I want to see and The Wrestler doesn’t start until December 26, I think.

    I can’t think of anything I want to see less than Seven Pounds right now.

    I’ll try to catch Slumdog, but I’m probably going to wait.

    I don’t understand why a movie like the Wrestler isn’t playing everywhere but Delgo gets its shot in a bunch of theaters, anyone want to help me with this?

  • I want to see yes man only because i trust Jim Carrey to give me a good hour and a half of fun
