Trailer Talk: This Week In Movies - 'Salt,' 'Valhalla Rising,' & More

I saw both the “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and “Inception,” which premiered last week.  Personally I thought “Inception” is the best movie that I have seen all year.  “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was fun, but in no way does it even reside on the same level of filmmaking.  If you’re interested in reading my thoughts on each, check out my reviews here.
Angelina Jolie’s action thriller “Salt” arrives in theaters this week, as well as the dark age adventure “Valhalla Rising,” the dramedy “Life During Wartime,” the family film “Ramona and Beezus,” and the documentary “Countdown to Zero.”

SALT

When CIA operative Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is accused of being an enemy spy by a Russian defector, she is forced on the run, where she puts all of her skills to use in order to elude capture.  Salt has to stay alive long enough to learn the truth of her identity and to clear her name with the U.S. government.
He made a name of himself during the 1990s directing the Tom Clancy movies “Patriot Games” and “Clear and Present Danger,” and now Philip Noyce returns to the genre to helm this action thriller.  Kurt Wimmer, the scribe for “Law Abiding Citizen,” pens the screenplay for this film.    
WHO SHOULD SEE IT:  Angelina Jolie admirers who can’t get enough of her as an action heroine should be the first in line for this movie.  If you appreciate stories about rogue spies on the run from their former agency of employment, then you should see “Salt.”
