This weekend in theatres is good looking thanks to the lone movie that holds the most excitement: the western True Grit, a remake, with the great cast of Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin.
Out of the two comedies opening: the third installment of the De Niro vs. Stiller or Meet the Parents series--- Little Fockers looks funny, but Gulliver's Travels (unnecessarily in 3-D)--- Jack Black's comic spin on the classic novel of the same title, doesn't look funny at all.
The drama Country Strong, with a singing Gwyneth Paltrow looks promising but boring.
Somewhere, a father-daughter story, directed by Sophia Coppola, looks sweet.
The animated adult friendly The Illusionist about a magician is a very imaginative effort.
The run down of movies opening starting this Friday is:
