This week’s new releases have their work cut out for them if they hope to overtake Hannah Montana: The Movie, but it’s possible that the Matthew Perry/Zac Efron comedy 17 Again might do it, or perhaps the over the top action of Crank: High Voltage starring Jason Statham. Having slightly less mainstream appeal is the Russell Crowe thriller State of Play, based on the BBC mini-series. Opening in select theatres we also have the Alex Rivera sci-fi flick Sleep Dealer and the Michael Caine dramedy Is Anybody There? starring the kid from Son of Rambow, among others. Will you be seeing any movies this weekend?



  • Sugar is finally opening in Toronto, I’ve been super psyched for that one since TIFF. :D

  • State of Play looks decent too, might catch a cheap Tuesday matinee.

    And one of my BFFs has a little crush/obsession with Zefron, so I expect she’ll be dragging me to that sometime in the near future.

  • I wish Crank was in theaters here in Denmark, I’d love to watch that one, the first was awesome.

  • Yeah, I was thinking I’d see Sugar listed here too, it is opening in Chicago,very limited. It will be interesting to hear Jay’s thoughts due to the filmmakers directing it like a doc. I liked Half Nelson.
