So what of this weeks crop? Any beauties? Any to scary to look at? Lots filling up the middle? Yes, this week is officially a normal one. No big blockbusters to steal the light from all the others. This week we get a sweet rom com, a disaster movie about a wet and windy day and a film about Scarlett Johansson’s brain getting too big. We also get the first film from the very brave Stuart Murdoch. Sadly, just because he’s a very good song writer… The French one is probably the best of the lot! Note: That is often the case.
