Since I don’t have access to unlimited data internet at least until we find a permanent place to live, here in Oz, I won’t be able to do any of the previews I used to do, discussing trailers. Instead, I thought I’d share with you the movies that are opening every week, and new posters for upcoming movies!
LOTS of movies are opening in cinema’s this week, on January 24! These are release dates for the U.S., check each movie for the release date of your country if you’re not in the U.S..

[/alert]So which of these caught your eye? I saw a trailer of Visitors a while back when I could still watch trailers, and it looked very interesting, but I don’t know if I’ll ever get to actually watching it. Knights of Badassdom‘s trailer made me giggle, I’m going to see it just because it should be lots of ridiculous fun. Gimme Shelter sounds kind of interesting, but the rest I feel a bit blah about, and I, Frankenstein is something I am never ever going to watch and not just because Aaron Eckhart is on my irrational dislike list. The French movie sound interesting, but French movies are usually a bit too heavy for my taste.
