New To Theatres This Weekend – Jan. 19, 2007

Only one major new release this weekend, it is Dave Meyers’ remake of The Hitcher starring Sean Bean. Meh. A number of smaller films are expanding to more theatres this week as the Oscars approach, including Clint Eastwood’s Letters From Iwo Jima, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, and Bill Condon’s Dreamgirls. In limited release we have Roger Michell’s Venus, starring Peter O’Toole.

  1. I wish I lived in North America because I want to see all four of the movies that are expanding.

    Alas, I must arm myself with patience.

  2. WTF Sean? Pan’s Labyrinth still isn’t playing in Niagara yet! You gotta do something about that.

  3. Man, we are totally getting gheyed now that the Fairview Mall is gone.

  4. Man, even The Last King of Scotland isn’t anywhere near us. How hard is it to run a movie theatre? I suggest filmjunk should own and operate their own.

  5. Is gheyed defined or does it just mean something like sux0rs?

  6. What? The Last King of Scotland is only expanding NOW???? WTF? I’ve seen that at the local theater since November! WOW.

  7. On the bright side…you could always see “The Hitcher”…

    ;)

  8. My resolution this year was to catch more of the movies that interest me while they’re still in theatres but the friggin’ Niagara cinemas aren’t helping.

  9. I just saw Pan’s Labyrinth here in Toronto. It’s worth the trip up from the N dot.
