Tweek Recommends for the Week of May 1-7

Here's the rundown: I take a gander at the upcoming releases for the week, and select one wide and one limited release film. I'll give you a short synopysis of the film and its cast, and why I think it's a winner. Even if the list of options really blows, I'll give you at least one for those of you who just HAVE to see something THIS weekend. Don't worry, if I think even my top choice is going to suck, I'll tell you.

Wide-Release Film
Mission: Impossible III- Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rhames. Cruise has quit active spy duty and is instead training new IMF agents. But, of course, he's brought back into the game to take the new baddy, Hoffman. General ass-kicking, physics defying and s$(t blowing-up ensues. Looks to be an awesome action flic.

Limited-Release Film
The Proposition- Guy Pierce, Emily Watson, John Hurt. According to Yahoo! Movies

Cave's 19th-century tale begins with the proposition of the title, as Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone) captures fugitive brothers Charley (Guy Pearce) and Mikey Burns (Richard Wilson) at a scene of bloody rape and murder. Informing Charley that he must kill his older brother, Arthur (Danny Huston), in order to be set free, Stanley drags Mikey to a decrepit jailhouse while he waits for Charley to carry out the deed.

Cool, cool. Enjoy your week at the movies.
