NATIONAL RELEASES<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader<\/a><\/strong> (20th Century Fox): The third instalment of the Narnia series<\/a> sees Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy Pevensie (Georgie Henley) return to the magical land with their cousin Eustace ((Will Poulter), where they meet up with King Caspian (Ben Barnes) for an ocean trip aboard the ship The Dawn Treader.<\/p>\n

Directed by Michael Apted, it also stars Tilda Swinton and Simon Pegg in supporting roles. It also has a new distributor, after the relative financial disappointment of the second film, with owners Walden Media<\/a> opting to replace Disney with 20th Century Fox. Given the popularity of the books and a return to a Christmas release date, this should easily top the box office this weekend, especially with the bump in 3D takings along with a wide 2D release. [Empire Leicester Square & Nationwide \/ PG]<\/p>\n

The Tourist<\/a><\/strong> (Optimum Releasing): A thriller about an American tourist (Johnny Depp) visiting Italy, who encounters a mysterious woman (Angelina Jolie) who gets him into trouble.<\/p>\n

Despite featuring two of the biggest movie stars on the planet, the director of The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck) and the producer of The Departed (Graham King), the buzz on this film is almost non-existent with very few reviews<\/a> showing up until the week of release. It should have a decent opening weekend, but bad word of mouth might affect its long term box office. [Cineworld Wandsworth, Empire Leicester Square & Nationwide]<\/p>\n

Somewhere<\/a><\/strong> (Universal): The fourth film from writer-director Sofia Coppola is the story of a pampered movie star (Stephen Dorff) living a life of excess at the Chateau Marmont Hotel<\/a> in Hollywood before receiving an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning).<\/p>\n

Although this has divided critics on the festival circuit, it managed to scoop the Golden Lion at Venice<\/a> and might possibly get some BAFTA and Oscar attention (although it doesn\u2019t feel like a serious frontrunner). The opening scene sets the tone and mood, and if you are up for Coppola\u2019s wry, stylised portrait of Hollywood, then there is much to appreciate here, especially the two lead performances, some beautiful visuals from Harris Savides and a predictably tasteful soundtrack<\/a>.

For Colored Girls<\/a><\/strong> (Lionsgate UK): Tyler Perry\u2019s latest film is adapted from Ntozake Shange’s 1975 stage play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. Written, directed and produced by Perry, the film features an ensemble cast including Janet Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise, and Kerry Washington.
