First up...my main recommendation of the week..
TransAmerica - Starring 'Desperate Housewife' Felicity Huffman & Kevin Zegers, TransAmerica tells the story of Bree...a perfectly adjusted conservative transsexual woman. Although named Stanley when she was born, Bree starts to take the step towards woman-hood..when she finds out that she is the parent of a long-lost 17 year-old son (Zegers). Travelling cross-country to New York to bail him out of jail, they both make the long journey back to Los Angeles, with Bree struggling to keep all her secrets hidden. A journey that will challenge and change both their lives and bring them closer to the truth of their connection. TransAmerica gives a whole new spin on the modern American family..and the performance that 'Emmy award winning' Felicity Huffman gave in this movie earnt her an Oscar nomination. It's a must for movie-buffs out there, and worth watching at least for the award-worthy performance!
And my other recommendations are..
Inside Man - Starring Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, the delectable Clive Owen, Christopher Plummer, Willem Dafoe and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
For those who like heist plots, director Spike Lee and writer Russell Gewirtz bring you Inside Man. This movie tells the story of a tough cop, Detective Frazier (Denzel Washington), who matches wits with a clever bank robber, Dalton (Clive Owen), in a tense hostage drama. As the dangerous cat-and-mouse game unfolds, a wild card emerges: Madaline (Jodie Foster), a power broker with a hidden agenda, who injects even more instability into an already volatile situation. One for a Saturday night, and not to be missed if you're a Clive Owen or Jodie Foster fan. Denzel Washington gives a good performance as the dedicated cop!
And finally...
Hostel - Starring Jay Hernandez, Derek Richardson, Eythor Gudjonsson, Barbara Nedeljakova, Jana Kaderabkova, Jan Vlasák, Rick Hoffman and Jennifer Lim.
Quentin Tarantino presents Eli Roth's Hostel, the follow-up to the writer-director's hit debut, 2002's Cabin Fever. This movie is essentially a mixture of many of the most terrifying things about human nature and the world at large, taken from many impossible-but-true stories of human trafficking, international organized crime, and sex tourism. This movie is sure to shock even the most hardcore genre fans! Hostel tells the story of two adventurous American college buddies Paxton and Josh who backpack through Europe eager to make quintessentially hazy travel memories with new friend Oli, an Icelander they've met along the way. Both Paxton and Josh are lured by a fellow traveller, who describes a Hostel filled Eastern European women as desperate as they are gorgeous in an out-of-the-way Slovakian town. Eager as most virile men would be, they arrive at this hostel and soon pair off with exotic beauties Natalya and Svetlana....but may be all too easily! Distracted by the good time they're having, the two Americans quickly discover that they've both become trapped in an increasingly sinister situation. A great 'cover your eyes' type of movie, with gruesome scenes!
And there you hae my recommendations for this week. Stay tuned for more updates :)
