ShareHow time flies when your having fun and here we are another week of new film releases fresh off the press for our enjoyment, so whats in store this week? Well the cullen have returned for an second installment but they’ve brought some royality and four legged hairy friends, aJewish man’s life falls apart in front of him in America’s 1960s. A high ranking director turns comedic whistleblower, time shifting family story from present day to world war 2 to southern softies along with french slummers and a classic rendition of a james Joyce novel.
You must be saying it’s going to be Twilight as the movie of the week, isnt it? No, Im going to do my best simon cowell impression and pass the buck to you guys, let you choose but if I was to pick a movie I would go for The Informant, starring Matt Damon. this sees Matt Damon and Steven Soderbergh rejoin together for the first time since the Ocean’s 11,12,13 movies and it shows how diverse an actor he is and how well he can hold the fort as a lead actor (though already knew that from Bourne). I do want to see this though this weekend i have 2 training days so ill have to catch up during the week sometime. I’m actually going to have A Serious Man as my second choice as its a Coen Brother’s feature and if you like dark, witty, comedy drama’s that are different the Coen 2 are you guys for a good flick, it is that time of the year they release there annual coen’s jamboree (Burn after Reading last November). Personall Twilight New Moon are the Jedward of the movies this week, if your NOT a Twilight fan you probably find the movies crap though when you watch entertaining at the same time.
As usual enjoy whatever movie you go and see and please send a review, so far since November 2008 I have received 1 review from a reader of my blog so why not get involved do your own review? All you have to do is include where, when and rating out of five along with the review and send it to : thepeoplesmovies@gmail.com. Enjoy the popcorn, enjoy the movie… until next week when we’ll have an law abiding fellow Paisley man and a paranormal investigation for Yevette Fielding and the Most Haunted team to look into.

ULYSSES (15)
Drama (2 hours 20 minutes)
Milo O’Shea, Maurice Roëves, Barbara Jefford
Based on James Joyce’s 1922 novel. Poet Stephen Dedalus returns from exile just before his mother’s death. This time the hero is an ordinary Jew, Leopold Bloom, whose odyssey through the streets of Dublin on June 16th 1904 leads him through trials which parallel his classic prototype, Ulysses. Strick’s film is absolutely faithful to the book, and it contains sexually explicit language which was so controversial at the time that it contributed to it being baned in Ireland for over 30 years. Received an Academy Award Nomination for Best (Adapted) Screenplay and five BAFTA nominations.
