 AP And yet... Even I am scared off of a movie whose male lead can only boast "of TV's Dawson's Creek" -- unless it has the words "mighty" or "ducks" in the title. So we can safely assume that I will not be seeing Silk this weekend. Deep Water stands a pretty solid chance, even though I cheated and read the Wikipedia article about Donald Crowhurst, the focal point of the documentary. Who's getting my $8 this weekend? Defintely David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises, with Viggo Mortensen (read Chris Vognar's interview with both men). Because, seriously, David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen. And not just because Viggo's wearing a Montreal Canadiens t-shirt in that photo. Okay, not entirely. Here's this weekend's new offerings - what are you seeing? • Eastern Promises (B+) | Trailer Make sure to save some pennies though -- there are FIFTEEN flicks scheduled to open next weekend. |

$8 on Eastern Promises will be $8 well spent. All you really need to do is ask yourself: "Self, did I like A History of Violence?" If the answer is yes, then you will like Eastern Promises. It's that simple.
