Obligatory Movie Weekend Post #21

Do you smell it? No... not that! Man, you people (ok, it's just me, but still!). It's the smell of OBLIGATORY MOVIE WEEKEND POST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You feel like dancing, dontcha! ADMIT IT!!! Oh yes, all you need to know about this week's film releases... or at least the few I really care to talk about. We only got one biggie, so let's hurry on!

Wide Releases:

Shutter Island: Even at a surprisingly long runtime I have to say I haven't been this excited for a movie in a long time. Hell, I was ready back in October! Now listen here Scorsese, I'm counting on you to break us out of this movie funk (people are giving Book of Eli positive marks and saying nothing good about it - IT'S CHAOS HERE!). So, here's the plan: Everyone go watch this movie this weekend, tell me how it goes, and I'll go see it next weekend (or the weekend after that), depending on your dedication!

Limited Releases:

The Ghost Writer: Signs your movie may not be that good: obscure limited release in February. I love yah Polanski (only as a director, personally... you're a bit screwed up), but with every passing trailer for this, and review, I got closer and closer to hoping for a Ghostwriter tv series adaptation, rather than this. Honestly though, I feel bad for Ewan McGregor, he's been making lots of good director decisions recently, and finding himself scraping for notice in lots of horrid to mediocre films. Maybe this one will turn out ok though?

The Good Guy: I have nothing to say about this other than to point out that Alexis Bledel is in it.... and it has some other people nobody cares about.

Happy Tears: No, this is not a sequel to Happy Feet (BOOOOOOOOOO), but rather a drama I've heard nothing about except that it has Parker Posey, Ellen Barkin, and Demi Moore in it. Good luck if this is your selection.



Alrighty that's all I got, so you can go now, and spread the word: Uni's amazing.... or you can just say Uni's..... there? Hehe, laters!
