It's a weekend of threes, with a trio of our favorite leading men headlining two major releases, three smaller films in limited release, and not a threequel in sight.- Shoot 'Em Up: He's not your typical nanny: Clive Owen stars as "Mr. Smith", charged with protecting a newborn, with the help of a busty prostitute (Monica Bellucci), against a sweaty Paul Giamatti. This gonzo action flick from writer/director Michael Davis already had my attention with its tongue-in-cheek viral marketing, and then this clip showed up. In it, Owen and Bellucci are featured in what can only be described as one of the most unique combinations of sex and violence ever committed to film. Trust me: you'll need to take a cold shower afterwards.
- 3:10 to Yuma: Christian Bale and Russell Crowe star on opposite sides of right and wrong in James Mangold's remake of the Glenn Ford western. Ben Foster co-stars as what is already being labeled a "gay villain role".
- The Bubble: This OutFest winner from acclaimed director Eytan Fox (Walk on Water, Yossi & Jagger) centers on a gay romance in the politically charged city of Tel Aviv. In limited release, visit the film's official site for a list of upcoming engagements.
- Hatchet: Described as an "old school American horror", you have to wonder why they would release this (albeit limited) just one week after Halloween. Genre stars aplenty (Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund, Mercedes McNab, a.k.a. Buffy's Harmony) evade the title weapon-wielding maniac in New Orleans.
- In the Shadow of the Moon: This award-winning documentary gives a rare look, through awe-inspiring space footage and candid astronaut interviews, of NASA's Apollo missions. A strong contender for this year's doc Oscar.
