This Weekend on Reel Talk

Alvin and the ChipmunksThis week's show has a novel mix of best-selling adaptations, royalty, Big Willie style, Christmas romance and high-pitched holiday singing.

Alison & Jeffrey share their thoughts on the week's new movies, including Will Smith's can't-miss sci-fi epic "I Am Legend," the live-action/animation hybrid "Alvin and the Chipmunks" starring Jason Lee and the holiday romance "The Perfect Holiday" starring Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut, Queen Latifah and Terrence Howard.

Those are the three films opening everywhere, but there are a few films opening in limited release we're reviewing as well. They include "The Kite Runner" based on the beloved bestseller, the documentary "Nanking," which chronicles the awful but mostly forgotten devastation of the Chinese city by the Japanese army in 1937.

And you can't miss our dynamic duo's review of Francis Ford Coppola's return to the director's chair, "Youth Without Youth" starring Tim Roth. They disagree wildly on this one, so be sure to tune in.

mirren.JPGBesides the new movie reviews, Alison also sits down with fellow across-the-ponder and Oscar winner Helen Mirren. She tells Alison all about her dipping her feet into the action-picture pool in "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" which opens next week. Besides entertaining and informative, this is hands down the best-enunciated interview we've had all year on RT.

Oh, and check out the trailer for NTBoS here.

The DVD Roundup spotlights a summer smash hit ("The Simpsons Movie") and a summer sleeper ("Once"), not to mention the much-discussed, often-delayed, long-awaited release of "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" the 'definitive' version of Ridley Scott's influential futurama. We're big BR fans here at RT (at least I am) -- a few months ago we did a cool piece on the legacy of "Blade Runner" which is almost as intriguing as the movie itself. Click Here to check it out.

And in case that's enough for you, J & A also address the just-announced Golden Globe nominations. Find out who they think earned well-deserved nods and who were wrongly snubbed.
