What: British comedian Matt Lucas plays a guy who accidentally kills his landlord (Peter Stormare).

What I'm watching this week:
Based on a goal of watching 200 movies per year, I try to watch - or limit myself to - four movies per week. I saw both Argo and End of Watch in theaters, and recommend both of them. (Be aware that End of Watch is very violent.) The other movies this week aren't calling to me much, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Death Race: Inferno for some popcorn action, and For a Good Time, Call for some popcorn comedy.
Coming next week:
Company of Heroes, Girls Against Boys, Holy Motors, The Awakening, The Liability, The Loneliest Planet, and The Master
