Out This Week

CJ7
The director behind the brilliant Shaolin Soccer and Kung-Fu Hustle takes his CG-enhanced Looney Tunes aesthetic into a kid's movie with a plot reminiscent of E.T., where a kid befriends an alien visitor.

Felon
Can you imagine anything creepier than if they redid the Top Gun volleyball scene with the current Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer?

Secret
Hey, a remake of an Asian horror film! I LOVE THOSE!!!!!!!!

Smart People
The Squid and the Whale meets Sideways, featuring Juno's Ellen Page as a domineering young Republican.

The new-to-home-video season of Prison Break gets a BD release, but Wire: Season Five doesn't? Boooo, I say. Not that I can afford the HBO tax their DVDs and BD releases get hit with.
