YOUR WEEKEND PIC (Sept 1 - 3)

1. MY SUPER Ex-GIRLFRIEND (fantasy romantic comedy with Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson) Rated * * * (out of 4): Breaking up is hard to do but what if your girlfriend is a superhero? Nice sitcom-styled caper with some over-the-top gags.

2. BRIDES (romantic drama with Damian Lewis and Victoria Haralabidou) Rated * * * (3 stars): An engaging story of a mail-order bride and a photographer on a voyage from Eurpoe to the US to find a better life. Perfect for those who love ship romances. (At GSC International Screens)

3. THE ANT BULLY (fantasy adventure with voices of Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep & Julia Roberts) Rated * * * (3 stars): A boy, who takes out his frustrations on a colony of ants, learns some of life’s lessons when he is shrunk to ant size and taken to the colony. Great for the kids.

4. MONSTER HOUSE (Animated Kiddie Horror with the voices of Mitchel Musso, Sam Lerner, Maggie Gyllenhaal Steve Buscemi) Rated * * * (3 stars): This family film recalls Halloween, Amityville Horror and A Nightmare On Elm Street but not to worry, it won’t really freak the kids out.

5. SNAKES ON A PLANE (Disaster comedy Samuel L. Jackson and Julianna Margulies) Rated: * * * (3 stars): If you like half-baked plots and hissable scares, then book yourself a ticket for this cult movie and have a nice fright.
