Gangsta macks: Crowe and Washington hit the scene next week (Universal Pictures)

It's been an odd couple of weeks in movieland. Last Friday saw an avalanche of releases, few (if any) of which are worth remembering or talking about. (Peep last Monday's "Quantity over quality" post here). The big fish this week is Dan in Real Life , a nice if exceedingly modest romantic comedy starring Steve Carell. Pulse racing yet?

But let's take a peek into the next couple of weeks. Next Friday delivers American Gangster, Ridley Scott's epic cat-and-mouse look at Harlem crime lord Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) and Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe), the Jersey cop who gradually grew hip to Lucas' clout. Not your thing? Then try Bee Movie, the new animated baby of Jerry Seinfeld.

Things stay hot and heavy the following week with the Coen Bros.' No Country for Old Men and Robert Redford's Lions for Lambs. After that there's really not a dull slate the rest of the year.

So have patience, oh moviegoers. The cavalry is on the way.
