Week 2 | Coming Attractions

Two new movies come to DVD. Edward Norton stars as a mysterious stage magician, bends natures laws to his will and attempts to unlock the secrets of monarchy in The Illusionist. Paul Giamatti and Jessica Biel co-star.

Also, Robin Williams is a late night talk show host who encounters a repeat caller with a dark secret in The Night Listener.

Meanwhile opening in theatres next week: Stepping, which has been a stable for African-Americans fraternities and sororities predominantly at HBCU’s, goes mainstream in the You Got Served-esque drama Stomp The Yard.

Justin Timberlake, fresh off of one of the funniest holiday skits EVER on SNL goes all wigga in the young kids misbehaving-badly film, Alpha Dog.

For the family, young Arthur attempts to save his Grandmother home from grubby real estate developers, finds a secret portal and partners with Madonna and Snoop Dogg in Arthur and the Invisibles. (Trust me, I don’t make this up!)

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, young people in a remote place on earth encounter a bloodthirsty serial killer in Primeval. (I’m sure this will PROBABLY be the first cold opening of the year) Side note: Did anyone ever think that the reason in Hollywood that SO MANY serial killers exist is to rid the world of groups of people who show up in places they don’t belong and fall victim to natural selection?
