Got a horse movie we’ve never seen before and some horror that I’m always down for seeing. There’s also a Carey Elwes beat-em-up worth noting and a lot of documentaries you might be into but that fail to grab me in the slightest. And MILLA! There’s a frickin’ Milla movie this week that’s coming out. DEFINITELY want to see that one. Anyway, check out the trailers and enjoy.
Secretariat Director: Randall Wallace Written By: Mike Rich Starring: Diane Lane, John Malkovich, Dylan Walsh, Scott Glenn Release Date: Oct 8, 2010 Another story about horse races and outrageous odds. *yawn* Diagnosis: Pass. |

Life as We Know It Director: Greg Berlanti Written By: Ian Deitchman, Kristin Rusk Robinson Starring: Katherine Heigl, Josh Duhamel, Jean Smart, Josh Lucas Release Date: Oct 8, 2010 Is it just me being weird or does this remind anyone else of Three Men And A Baby? Two unlikely adults raise a child left to them. Not entirely sure I’m sold on the movie from the trailer, but I would be lying if I said the premise didn’t interest me some. Diagnosis: If I have time. |

Nowhere Boy Director: Sam Taylor Wood Written By: Matt Greenhalgh Starring: Aaron Johnson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Thomas Sangster, David Morrissey Release Date: Oct 8, 2010 Not a Beatles fan, but I am kind of interested in this movie based off the trailer.

It’s Kind of a Funny Story Director: Ryan Fleck, Anna Boden Written By: Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck Starring: Keir Gilchrist, Zach Galifianakis, Emma Roberts, Viola Davis Release Date: Oct 8, 2010 (Limited) Zach Galifianakis has gotten quite a bit of film saturation lately, so I’m not entirely sure I’m interested in seeing him play another variation on his usual shtick. This could just be the fault of an uninteresting trailer. Diagnosis: Not interested. |

Tamara Drewe Director: Stephen Frears Written By: Moira Buffini, Posy Simmonds Starring: Gemma Arterton, Roger Allam, Dominic Cooper, Luke Evans Release Date: Oct 8, 2010 (Limited) At first I thought it was a film about writers, and then I thought it was a film about Tamara Drewe, but then I realized it was a film about a potty-mouthed little girl causing trouble for everyone. Turns out, it wasn’t about that either. Diagnosis: Saw it so you don’t have to. |
