The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
by
Carmel. |
|
| Great cast, great acting. Geoffrey Rush is amazing. Growing up watching Peter Sellers on TV, it was amazing seeing the private man who struggled within himself and his insecurities. |

New in Town
by

|
| This movie was so painful! I was looking forward to a good chick flick and was really disappointed. Very predictable story and Renee Zellweger lacked her usual charm. It had all the potential to be good but seem to miss it by a long shot. |

A personal aide to the US Ambassador in France, James Reese (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low level operative for the CIA. All James wants to do it become a bona fide agent and see some real action. So when he is offered his first senior level assignment, he can't believe his good luck - until he meets his new partner, special agent Charlie Wax (John Travolta). A trigger-happy, wisecracking, loose cannon who's been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack, Wax leads James on a white knuckled shooting spree through the Parisian underworld that has James praying for his desk job. But when James discovers he's a target for the same crime ring they're trying to bust, he realizes there's no turning back.and that Wax himself might be his only hope for making it through the next forty eight hours alive. Check out the trailer here. In Cinemas February 18.
