Next screening? “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare”

With upcoming release slates rendered lean due to last year’s long film biz strikes, this could be a moment for second tier studios like Lionsgate to shine, giving theaters something to show, making more money than they might have from their solid B-movie titles.

“The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” stars a string of not-quite box office players as an Allied commando unit tasked with doing all sorts of things “ungentlemanly” to Nazis.

Better not try that in Florida!

Two Henrys of talent but seriously limited box office luck outside of their One Big Picture — Henry Cavil and Henry Golding — lead Alex Pettyfer, Babs Olusanmokun, Alan Ritchson and Hero Fiennes Tiffin and are in turn led by Cary Elwes (But of course!) in their endeavors.

Eiza Gonzalez and Til Schweiger (Wonder who HE plays?) also star, with Rory Kinnear playing Churchill and Freddie Fox portraying the guy who lived through these sorts of exploits and turned them into James Bond novels, Ian Fleming.

This opens Friday (Thursday night for eager beavers). (UPDATED: My review is posted here.)
