To be honest, this weekend’s buffet of films is quite lacking. Who would have thought that a weekend that includes premieres from Anthony Hopkins and Jason Statham would be so lacking in cinematic quality?

Critics have panned Hopkins’ “The Rite,” a religious derived horror film that focuses on exorcism, demons, and all that jazz. “The Mechanic,” is a quick paced action flick that focuses on the day and life of an elite assassin.

If you, or anyone you know, is venturing out to the movies this weekend, it is best to skip the new releases and instead opt for something that has already been released.

Last week’s box office winner, “No Strings Attatched,” is a hit or miss romantic comedy that carries enough seriousness to make it watchable and also features a surprisingly fair amount of funny jokes.

If you are looking to get your Oscar fix, before the big award show, than you should tryout movies like “The King’s Speech,” or “The Fighter.” Both are bound to win at least one award when the red carpet is rolled out.
