Charlie Sheen, Jérémie Renier, Danny Glover, John C. McGinley and Whoopi Goldberg. There are two documentaries to enjoy this weekend; one that deals with the legal and moral issues of big game hunting, the other an inside look at an exclusive school in the UK which will remind you of the Jack Black’s ‘School of Rock.’
If you’re a fan of Japanese animation you’ll love ‘Hirune Hime,’ and we finally have a straight on 9/11 adaptation which has a little ‘Towering Inferno’ meets ‘Unstoppable.’
Our pick of the week is a film called ‘Home Again’ starring Reese Witherspoon a single middle-aged woman in LA that allows two 20 something dudes to liv in her big home. What could possibly go wrong?
Enjoy the movies this weekend, we always do!
