Oh well, another weekend is upon us and after much, much delay I will FINALLY catch The Avengers! Yeah me 
As for the rest of y’all, it looks like you can make it a Brooklyn Decker double feature weekend with the following two releases:
Also on offer …
In addition, there are a couple of Tribeca Film Festival entries this week …
HYSTERIA
POLISSE
MANSOME
So what, if anything, will YOU be watching this weekend?
Time for another go around the cinema-maze to see what’s up in the world of movies.
From one of my favorite sources, Total Film, here are a few bits:
From the Guardian (UK) Newspaper
From the New York Times Film section
(hope you have not exceeded your 10 article a month allowance)
Miscellaneous Items
This is what is on offer for the (pretty light) weekend.
In other words, I will not be headed to the cinema this weekend 
But if you are interested in the third still, the film associated with it God Bless America is also available OnDemand – so you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your own home.
Well for me, Saturday is packed! Have a dance recital followed in the evening by the Noël Coward double feature in NYC – I simply cannot wait! And then Sunday is of course Mother’s Day in the States.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
Today, I decided to cobble together some of my favorite stories from around the web.

That’s me done. Are there any movie-related stories that have piqued your interest?
Why even bother – this weekend belongs to
I will be waiting at least a week to see this Marvel Extravaganza. I think I will take the weekend off from going to the cinema (my eyes could really use the rest).
In what can only be described as counter-programming, may I present The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
This one I can imagine myself seeing – even if I do wait for cable or video release.
Here are some other films being dumped released today (5/4) – insert jokes where appropriate.
Mother’s Day
LOL
A Little Bit Of Heaven
And finally, rounding out a surprisingly busy weekend box office …
Let’s start looking at this weekend’s releases with the ‘certified fresh‘ (as of the time of this writing) …
PIRATES: BAND OF MISFITS
THE RAVEN
Really? Cusack as Poe? Guess we will have to wait and see …
SAFE
It’s Statham … therefore it is probably fun.
FIVE YEAR ENGAGEMENT
BERNIE
Will lightning strike twice with duo of Linklater/Black
SOUND OF MY VOICE
One film in particular caught my interest on the weekend release list, Elles will feature on iluvcinema next week in the form of one of my recaps.
As for me, I will work on the writing for my recaps and I may go see Think Like a Man. Besides that I am going to try to recover from the past couple of weeks and to prepare for the start of SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER SEASON (starting with The Avengers).
How’s about you all? Any particular plans for this weekend?
At the time of this writing, there are no RT “Certified Fresh” picks of the films released this weekend. Of the four that I mention, I would say Chimpanzee, Marley and possibly Think Like a Man are safe bets. As you can imagine I do not expect any of these titles to set the weekend box office receipts ablaze – in other words, The Hunger Games will hold tight in top position.
As for my personal cinema-viewing, I will be swamped with the various events surrounding the TFF; I hope to update my goings-on with frequent photos and tweets. It all kicks off tomorrow with a few films followed by an evening screening (not TFF-related) of repertory cinema (Annie Hall). The evening is billed as a “date night” event, but alas, I go alone 
So what are you all up to this weekend? Whatever it is, may I wish you happy viewing!
Happy Friday the 13th Everyone!
After a rather lazy Easter holiday weekend, I am getting back into the cinema-going saddle. I really hope this is the weekend I will catch Damsels in Distress, and/or The Decoy Bride (currently available on demand).
I will also be working on my Tribeca Film Festival “plan of action.”
Well here are the releases for the upcoming week; let’s start with some of Rotten Tomatoes’ ‘Certified Fresh’ films (hint: The Three Stooges is not one of them).
Also in limited release is the Luc Besson film The Lady starring Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis which tells the story of Aung San Suu Kyi, the woman at the heart of the Burmese fight for democracy.
Happy Friday everyone! Being as this is Easter weekend, the offering of films seems a bit thin. But I am sure The Hunger Games and other films released in previous weeks will still hold strong. Of this weekend’s contenders for the box office crown, the best shot may just be the 3D re-issue of Titanic.
But according to the predictions of Box Office Mojo it looks like American Reunion can give all the films out there a run for their money.
As for me, I would like to see Damsels in Distress but I think this will be a home viewing weekend for me.
How about you? Let me know what your weekend movie-going plans are (or are not) in the comments below.
