Hello Film Fans and Fanatics!
Welcome to Film Fan Fridays for Friday March 13, 2009! In this post daylight savings, getting warmer but not quite just yet we have 6 new releases. They are split down the middle with 3 each of wide and limited releases.
In limited release this week we have RiP: A Remix Manifesto a documentary on copyright in the current mash up world, Crossing Over a drama that focuses on stories of the attempted to immigrate to Los Angeles and Gomorrah an Italian crime family film and multiple awards nominations this year including the Golden Globes, BAFTA's and Independent Spirit Awards.
In wide release this week we have Miss March and 2 remakes. Race to Witch Mountain, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and AnnaSophia Robb (Bridge to Terabithia) is a remake of 1975 film Escape to Witch Mountain family film and The Last House on the Left is a remake of the 1972 Wes Craven horror film of the same name. The release of The Last House of the Left makes the horror-meter score for US 2009 releases down to 17% original vs 83% unoriginal ideas.
Have a great weekend!
