With The Expendables still thoroughly kicking arse at the box office ahead of Angelina Jolie’s Salt and heel-nibbling Piranha 3-D, there is one release in particular this week that is going to be a challenger, Edgar Wright’s (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
With positives reviews from the critics after it’s US release, and a cracking bit of casting with Michael Cera (standard geek portrayal) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (dayyyyym!), I think this film could whip up a frenzy in the UK. It’s out TODAY so get those Orange Wednesday codes primed!
Other releases this week include Grown-Ups after a seemingly unrelenting TV promotional schedule from Sandler & co, Avatar Special Edition with a whole NINE MINUTES more, Stieg Larsson’s novel The Girl Who Played With Fire and Kristen ‘face like a smacked arse’ Stewart’s Joan Jett biopic, The Runaways.
Happy viewing!
