5/1/09 Weekend Movie Releases

This week three movies are opening wide, although just two in major distribution. There is one film which is likely to open huge, Wolverine, and the other is likely to be a hit amongst young females, Ghosts of Girlfriends Pasts.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
This film was leaked a while back, but I don’t do that sort of thing. So I’ll just have to wait to see it. Yes, Gambit is in the film (who is by far my favorite X-Men character). This film goes through how Wolverine gained his powers and how he met each X-Men and his struggles.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
A playboy, Mathew McConaughey, is visited by his dead uncle who tells him he will soon be visited by the three ghosts of girlfriends: Ghost of Girlfriends Past, Ghost of Girlfriends Present, and Ghost of Girlfriends Future.

This film looks like another chick-flick for McConaughey, and more specifically, a Scrooge chick-flick.

Battle for Terra
In the distant future, humans must work their way into finding a new home since they are running out of food and oxygen. Although this film has been criticized for being “liberal”, it isn’t. At the most this film is about the morals of humans and where we are headed as the human race.
