Out in the buenos aires theatres
This week at the movies
Two Argentine movies (one animated), two Hollywood blockbusters, a Turkish production and a German film are out in the buenos aires theatres. Boogie and Bruce Willis will undoubtedly be the stars of the week.
• BOOGIE, EL ACEITOSO 3D. The most repelling character by the late Roberto Fontanarrosa makes it to the big screen in 3D animation. Boogie is everything we hate to hate: violent, misoginistic, xenophobe, racist, the lowest and most effective of the gun-for-hire world who will whack you and complain because you spilt blood on his shoes. And yet, some of Fontanarrosa’s most hardhitting humour. (Argentina, 2009, in Spanish)
Directed by: Gustavo Cova - Screenplay: Marcelo Páez-Cubells on images and characters by Roberto Fontanarrosa - Voices: Pablo Echarri and Nancy Dupláa - PG13 - Running time: 82 minutes.

• Surrogates (IDENTIDAD SUSTITUTA). A classic Bruce Willis character lives in a future in which people use robot surrogates to communicate with each other. When a student is murdered, the FBI will investigate and Bruce will take his trademark toughness out on the evil surrogates.
