Next Week's Movies

The Lovely Bones: Early word seems to suggest its heavy on the garish imagery, low on nuance. But we'll see. Peter Jackson is too good a film-maker to preemptively doubt. Never the less. Expectancy Level: 7/10

The Last Station: Oh hell yeah. A film about an aged Tolstoy and his wife, played by the dually Oscar nominated Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer. OK I can't say I'm burning with excitement but it will be good I'm sure. Expectancy Level: 7/10

Solomon Kane: Ha. I saw the trailer for this not too long ago. I want to see it just to see how truly awful James Purefoy is going to be. I'm expecting the world. Expectancy Level: 3/10
