Weekly Roundup - Opening 2/13

There are five movies opening up tonight, and there are a few that look watchable. Two Lovers is apparently talented actor Joaquin Phoenix's last movie, The International is entertaining for what it is, Confessions of a Shopaholic is uninventive, Friday the 13th is yet another necessary remake, and Under the Sea 3D is another solid IMAX film.

Weekend Suggestion:

As a last hurrah to Whah-Keen, I'm going to recommend Two Lovers. He's not the only one who is generating buzz about this film, as Venessa Shaw is also top-notch in it.

Friday the 13th

Reviews

RottenTomatoes Score: 25% Fresh
MetaCritic Score: 35/100
IMDB Rating: 7.0/10
My Response: At least it's rated R. A slasher pick that is only PG-13 is no slasher at all. I'm not a huge fan of remakes that are not necessary, so I just recommend renting the original and cozying up with someone hot if you want to watch a scary movie this Friday the 13th.
