What You Should See

… uh, Little Men? Nothing’s really looking very good about this weekend’s new releases, not the major releases (The Girl on the Train, The Birth of a Nation, or Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life [whatever that is]) or the more minor ones (The Dressmaker, Gun Runners), and so the recommendation for this week’s new releases falls to Little Men, the highest scoring of them all. It’s just makes mathematical sense.

Alternately, there are still two days left in the Edmonton International Film Festival, so maybe you’d be better off checking out one of those movies. Like Elle, playing at 7:00 tonight. It’s by internationally reknowned trashy-movie auteur, Paul Verhoeven! Or Operation Avalanche at 4:30pm on Saturday. It’s got a semi-interesting premise…!…?
