Pick of the Week:

I have seen much Korean Cinema but The Villainess is getting a wide release in Australia and sounds like it could be a cool action movie. The House is Andrew Jay Cohen’s directorial debut but he was a co-writer on Bad Neighbours, which I found to be a real funny entertaining movie. I am a big fan of the cast of this movie and have a lot of respect for these comedians so The House will be my pick of the week.

Thats my Pick of the Week. Let me know yours in the comments section below.
