New UK Cinema Releases: 4th November 2011, IN TIME, TOWER HEIST and MACHINE GUN PREACHER

A great week at the cinema if you didn’t already know, unlike last week this weeks top four movies are all ones which I want to see, granted some more than others but I think they’ll all be pretty good.  Let’s get on with it then.

Top rated this week is Justin Timberlake’s new action thriller In Time, I posted the trailer for this some time ago and it’s certainly seen some action.  I hope it lives up to the hype.

Starring: Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy

Set in the future where people stop ageing at the 25, from there they are given one more year to live.  If you have money you can buy all the time you want, if you don’t have money then your time is up, sounds simple.  Not so much, when Will Salas (Timberlake) is given the gift of time from another person he finds himself being hunted by the systems police known as “Time Keepers” lead by Raymond Leon (Murphy).

This really does look promising and is top of my list for this weeks movies to see, it has a hint of Equilibrium (2002) about it and I love that.  I have said before that I’m a Timberlake fan and Cillian Murphy is no slouch either.

Next up this week Tower Heist, it’s an action comedy crime caper brought to us from director Brett Ratner.

Starring: Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck and Matthew Broderick

A group of hard working guys find out they have fallen victim to a wealthy business mans scheme.  Not to pleased about it they hatch a plan together and decide to rob his high rise Residence.

Ok so the plot seems pretty thin but, I think this will be pretty enjoyable.  I don’t think Murphy and Stiller have worked together before and they should bring the comedy to the forefront on this one.

Machine Gun Preacher now, a true story well it’s based on a real person anyways, Seems worth a look.

Starring: Gerard Butler, Michelle Monaghan and Michael Shannon

Like I said above, the movie is based on a real person.  Sam Childers (Butler) is a former drug dealing biker tough guy who found God and became a crusader for hundreds of Sudanese children who have been forced to become soldiers.

It does look a good movie and if there is one thing that Gerard Butler is good at it’s playing the tough guy, it kind of reminds me of Blood Diamond a little.

Next up for you is a movie that I put out the trailer for a while ago now, kind of like Cape Fear, Straw Dogs is released this week and ranks up with In Time of movies I want to see this week.  Everyone has a breaking point and in this movie David Summer’s (James Marsden) is just a little higher than everyone else’s, want to see the trailer click HERE.
