Apparently, it's never supposed to stop snowing (at least in the
immediate area of MTV News headquarters in New York), which means that
getting to your local movie theater could be something of a challenge
this weekend. But you should really go out of your way to try to take in
some cinema over the next few days, as not only do you have a fresh
batch of Oscar nominees to catch up with (including "127 Hours," which
goes wide this weekend after several months in limited release) but also
a fresh batch of new titles. As far as the Oscar stuff goes, now is
your opportunity to catch Javier Bardem's performance in "Biutiful,"
which earned him a nomination for Best Actor. (The film was also
nominated in the Best Foreign Language category.) Away from the Oscar
race, there's Anthony Hopkins battling the devil in "The Rite," the
"Sense and Sensibility"-goes-Latina comedy "From Prada to Nada" and the
new Gregg Araki sci-fi sex comedy pastiche "Kaboom."
But if you're looking for big action, "The Mechanic"
is your best option. Jason Statham (who has carved out a niche for
himself as one of the best action stars of this generation) stars as a
hitman who takes Ben Foster under his wing. It promises some great
chases, a bunch of huge explosions and more than a few snide bon mots.
In order to prepare yourself for "The Mechanic," check out the
soundtrack playlist below, which features a six pack of tracks that
should put you in a sharpshooting kind of mood. It includes smashes from
Killer Mike ("Ready Set Go"), We Are Scientists ("It's a Hit") and
Dizzee Rascal ("Fix Up Look Sharp"). But we begin, as we always should,
with 30 Seconds to Mars' "The Kill."
