What's Playing? 12/10 Weekend



***

This weekend in theatres is an exiting one with the opening of the much awaited thriller The Tourist, starring two of Hollywood's top actor actress and actor--- both talented and gorgeous--- Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. 
For Narnia fans, the third installment in the fantasy films The Chronicles of Narnia, starring the Christ-like lion Aslan--- The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader opens.
Two films based on works of famous writers, Hemingway and Shakespeare open: a beautiful looking The Garden of Eden and an epic looking The Tempst
A based on a true story, The Fighter, starring the always tough Mark Wahlberg and an ultra skinny Christian Bale looks pretty good.
The lone indie, You Won't Miss Me, about a girl fresh from a mental ward, looks bleak but interesting.
