Welcome to The CoF Weekend Preview where we take a look at what’s going on this weekend in entertainment. Check back Sunday night for the Box Office Report and return Monday for The City Strip. Don’t forget to check out the CoF Summer Movie Guide 2011 for what else is coming soon to theaters.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes – IMDB – RT (80%) – CoF
The reviews are in for these Apes and they are pretty great considering this movie wasn’t on anyone’s radar pretty much until this past month. Andy Serkis is getting amazing praise for his powerful performance as Caser the Ape which begs the question: Could Andy Serkis win an Oscar for playing a CGI Ape? It’s a game changer. Also, this movie isn’t in 3D, have to respect that.
The Change-Up – IMDB – RT (19%) – CoF
Can a comedy be too crude? Seems so by what people are saying of The Change-Up. Leslie Mann plays a bitch yet again, she’s got range people and the movie was written by the gents who gave us The Hangover and the remake, The Hangover Part II.
The Whistleblower (limited) – IMDB – RT (62%) - CoF
Rachel Weisz and Monica Bellucci. Sold.
BONUS: For fans of Karl Pilkington and The Ricky Gervais Show:
