I wouldn’t call this weekend the best movie weekend ever, but there are some new movies coming out, so I should tell you about them. The movies releasing Friday include “High School Musical 3″ and “Saw 5″ - yes, it’s a night of sequels.

High School Musical 3 1

High School Musical 3 Releases Friday




High School Musical 3: Senior Year

If you’re heading to the theaters this weekend, prepare to battle the tween crowd, because they’re going to be out in full force to see “High School Musical 3: Senior Year”. In this third installment of the franchise, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens will reprise their roles to dance and sing all the way to box office success. This time around, Troy will have to decide between basketball and Juilliard, Gabriella is trying to go Standford, and Sharpay still aims for the spotlight. Hilarity and several musical numbers ensue.

Saw V

The synopsis of this latest of the “Saw” films reads,

In the fifth installment of the popular SAW franchise, Hoffman is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. But when his secret is threatened, Hoffman must go on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends.

If you’ve seen the first four movies, you know what to expect, and it looks to be just as good.

Pride and Gloy

I feel like I saw the preview for this movie ages ago, and for some reason the release date was delayed. Some might guess that it was it’s proximity in site to the release of “We Own the Night”. But it’s finally here. “Pride and Glory” stars Edward Norton and Colin Ferrell in a cop drama about how to deal with the realization that you’re brother-in-law might be cheating the system. The movie is being referred to as a “solid piece of work”, but the same person wrote,

There’s no telling why anyone thought this movie was necessary to make, but now that it’s here, we may as well enjoy it for what it is.

See the trailers for the movies below.
