This weekend there are quite a few movie releases. The new Russell Crowe new political thriller, State of Play, hits theaters. All Disney fans have reason to rejoice the week; Zac Efron’s new movie, 17 Again, hits theaters. I don’t know why, but I’m really curious to see how this movie does. Is Zac Efron able to really hold a movie? We shall see. Every Little Step has been received fairly well by the critics. The film is a documentary about the history of the popular Broadway show, A Chorus Line. Is Anybody There? is a hysterical, moving film, starring Sir Michael Caine, about a man forced into an old folk’s home and the unlikely friendship he develops. Take a look at the full list of movies below.

Is Anybody There? is a fantastic, entertaining film brought to you by director, John Crowley (Boy A), and produced by Marc Turtletaub (Little Miss Sunshine), Peter Saraf (Little Miss Sunshine), and David Heyman (Harry Potter). The movie is actually based off of the experiences of the writer, Peter Harness, while he was growing up in an convalescent home.

Is Anybody There? is a touching, funny story of friendship between a retired magician, Clarence (Michael Caine) and a death-obsessed boy, Edward (Bill Milner). The film is set in a convalescent home in a small English town during the late 1980′s. The two characters become unlikely friends after Clarence is forced, by social services, into the old folks’ home, owned by Edward’s parents. The two of them initially have a bit of a rocky start, but that changes once Edward learns Clarence is a magician. Clarence takes Edward on as his awkward little apprentice. Ultimately, the friendship has a dramatic impact upon their lives by causing them to move on from fear, resentment, and guilt to actually be able to enjoy other people.
