FS Picks of the Week, Sep 21-27

I don't mean to slack off from posting, honest. I'm just a bit tied up recently. I actually miss visiting people's blogs and updating my own stuff.

I hope I'll have more time this week. I really should think about drafting posts in advance. Pfttt.


Anyway!

I'm looking forward to watching the Surrogates. The trailer had been so interesting and it's really weird to see Bruce Willis with hair again. Horsemen, on the other hand, sports a really creepy poster -- that one's a no-go for me. *grimace*





Surrogates

Starring: Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike
Synopsis: FBI agents (Willis and Mitchell) investigate the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves – fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles – enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The murder spawns a quest for answers: in a world of masks, who’s real and who can you trust? --© Touchstone Pictures





Horsemen

Starring: Dennis Quaid, Zhang Ziyi
Synopsis: At home, hardened police detective Aidan Breslin (Dennis Quaid) has grown increasingly distant from his two young sons Alex (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Sean (Liam James) since the death of his wife. At work, he finds himself thrust into an investigation of perverse serial killings rooted in the Biblical prophecy of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The White Horsemen, a master of deception and the unexpected leader hell-bent on conquest; The Red Horsemen, a sharp-witted warrior intent on turning man against man, with an innocence that hides a burning rage within; The Black Horsemen, a manipulative and dark tyrant, unbalanced but always one step ahead; and The Pale Horsemen, an executioner with disarming strength, determined to spread death through surgical precision. As Breslin grapples with each new revelation in the case, he slowly discovers a shocking connection between himself and the four suspects. --© Lionsgate
