Opening The Week of Jan 16
A lot of ‘BIG’ films opening this weekend. Of course, that word could mean different things. Firstly, “Notorious”, a biopic on the life of rapper Notorious B.I.G. makes the rounds together with the first big budgeted Bollywood/Hollywood movie “Chandni Chowk to China”.
Another big name film is the 2008 Cannes Palme d’Or winner “Entre Les Murs” (The Class). This one comes with my highest recommendations.
