Will Smith is the one to beat in this weekend's new releases with I Am Legend, another "one man (and his dog) against the post apocalyptic zombie hordes" adventure, previously played out onscreen by the likes of Vincent Price and Charlton Heston.The Kite Runner, an incendiary drama about child rape from director Marc Forster, has received a lot of press regarding the deadly situation that the film's plot put its young stars in in their own country of Afghanistan. The film's release date was pushed back until now, and the boys have since been safely relocated by Paramount.
Francis Ford Coppola's attempted comeback picture, Youth Without Youth, stars Tim Roth as a timid professor who discovers a formula for immortality, attracting the attention of the Nazis. I hate it when that happens.
And last, and certainly least: Alvin and the Chipmunks make the leap to the big screen in this latest CGI-ed bastardization of beloved childhood cartoon characters.
