It's time to let you know all the new releases that I recommend this week! First up I have a couple of DVDs for you — Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla came out yesterday and I very much enjoyed this fun-filled crime caper. It has some amusing performances in it, especially from Gerard Butler and face to watch Tom Hardy.
I also recommend The House Bunny for some laugh out loud moments, and I have to admit I was very skeptical of it before I watched it. Anna Faris makes the Playboy bunny of the title likeable and amusing — it's a comedy in the same vein as Legally Blonde — though Colin Hanks is an uninspiring love interest for her. There's amusing support from the sorority girls she takes under her wing, including Kat Dennings, Emma Stone, American Idol's Katharine McPhee and Rumer Willis.
I'll be telling you all about The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button in my review on Friday, but films also worth checking out at the cinema this weekend include animated movie Bolt, a cavalcade of stars including Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore in He's Just Not That Into You, or if you fancy something a little more serious you could go and see Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman in Doubt.
To check out all my music choices this week, just read more.
Album releases this week include Which Bitch by The View — you can click on the album name to preview all the tracks! Welsh songstress Jem has her album Down To Earth available to download this week, and if you're looking for something a little different or what to discover some new artists, then check out Rough Trade's Counter Culture 2008 which includes tracks from Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes, as well as bands you might not have heard of. If you want some new singles to download, then Coldplay's "Life In Technicolour II" is released this week, as is Daniel Merriweather's "Change" and the awesome Of Montreal's uplifting "An Eluardian Instance".

Oooh thanks for the info! I've worn out my View CD, can't wait to listen to the new one! The compilation sounds pretty good to, I'm in need of new music.
Re the House Bunny, I really didn't expect it to get a good review! Might have to give it a try...
1I am looking for some new DVDs to add to our girly flat because I think we have seen every possible episode of SATC at least twice! I saw The House Bunny on my way back from Hong Kong this past Christmas and I must admit it was entertaining, though I'd probably give it a much lower rating if I hadn't been bored out of my mind and fed up with Virgin's disgusting food offering on the flight!
2Advah, im with u on the House Bunny thing - might give it a go now! Cant wait for 'Hes Just Not That Into You', and 'Doubt' also sounds really good.
