Out this week - October 27th

Movies

There are only 2 major releases this week. One is the 3rd in the horror series of Saw movies. So if you like those, then you will enjoy this one. And then there is Catch a Fire starring Tim Robbins and Derek Luke. Tim Robbins’ accent sounds horrible. I personally don’t think either looks too great. So skip out and go see The Prestige from last week’s releases.

Catch a Fire - Powerfully
telling the story of a South African hero’s journey to freedom, "Catch
a Fire" is the new film from director Phillip Noyce ("The Quiet
American," "Rabbit-Proof Fence"). The political thriller takes place
during the country’s turbulent and divided times in the early 1980s,
and in the new South Africa of today.

Derek Luke portrays real-life hero Patrick Chamusso. Patrick is a
charming and loving husband to his wife Precious (Bonnie Henna), and a
caring father to his two young daughters. He works as a foreman at the
centrally located Secunda oil refinery, which is a symbol of South
Africa’s self-sufficiency at a time when the world was protesting the
country’s oppressive apartheid system. In his spare time, Patrick
coaches a local boys’ soccer team. Carefully toeing the hard line
imposed on blacks by apartheid, Patrick is completely apolitical.

Academy Award winner Tim Robbins plays Nic Vos, a Colonel in the
country’s Police Security Branch. The shrewd and charismatic Vos
strives to maintain order in volatile situations, which have become
more and more frequent as the outlawed activist organization African
National Congress (ANC) rallies blacks against apartheid. Vos is also
concerned for the safety of his wife and two daughters. He and his
family live a world away from the Chamusso family…

…until the innocent Patrick comes under suspicion and is arrested (in
June 1980) for sabotage of the Secunda oil refinery. His alibi is
compromised, and Patrick is desperate to shield Precious from a past
indiscretion and keep his job. But he is ill-prepared to withstand
brutal interrogations by Vos’ men. As Vos further insinuates himself
into the lives of the Chamussos, to Patrick’s shock and shame, Precious
herself is jailed and tortured. Although he and Precious are soon
released from custody, Patrick is stunned into action and completely
reorients his sense of self and purpose. He leaves his family to join
up with the ANC.

Becoming a rebel fighter and political operative, Patrick is
radicalized on behalf of his people and his country. He ultimately
envisions a formidable and dangerous follow-up strike against the
Secunda refinery, risking his own life and future. Change must and will
come, for Patrick and his family, and for South Africa itself.

Saw III -
With his new apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith), the puppet-master
behind the cruel, intricate games that have terrified a community and
baffled police has once again eluded capture and vanished. While city
detectives scramble to locate him, Doctor Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh)
is unaware that she is about to become the latest pawn on his vicious
chessboard.

One night, after finishing a shift at her hospital, Lynn is kidnapped
and taken to an abandoned warehouse where she meets Jigsaw (Tobin
Bell), bedridden and on the verge of death. She is told that she must
keep the madman alive for as long as it takes Jeff (Angus Macfayden),
another of his victims, to complete a game of his own. Racing against
the ticking clock of Jigsaw’s own heartbeat, Lynn and Jeff struggle to
make it through each of their vicious tests, unaware that he has a much
bigger plan for both of them…

This Halloween, from Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate comes the latest
chapter in the psychologically intense and disturbing horror franchise.
"Saw III" stars Shawnee Smith and Tobin Bell. The film is directed by
Darren Lynn Bousman ("Saw II"), with story by franchise originators
Leigh Whannell and James Wan ("Saw," "Saw II") and screenplay by
Whannell. The producers are Mark Burg, Oren Koules and the late Gregg
Hoffman, to whom the film will be dedicated. The film is executive
produced by James Wan, Leigh Whannell, Peter Block, Jason Constantine,
Stacey Testro and Dan Heffner.
