There is nothing good at the theater this weekend. We want to go to the movies as much as possible before we have to get a baby-sitter. Quite the bummer that there isn't anything on that we both like - as there isn't much else to do around this town besides eat dinner and go to the movies.
Since there isn't anything out now, I have compiled a list of movies I want to see this year. Here they are:
Fanboys. This movie features Kristen Bell from Veronica Mars (The Jay's favorite new finds). The story is about a bunch of clown-punchers who have to get their dying friend to see Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Hilarity ensues.
American Gangster. Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington play cops and robbers in this 70's flick. Probably will be up for an Oscar or three.
The Simpsons Movie. Time to sneak a sixer of beer into Celebration Cinemas.
Grindhouse. Rose McGowan stars as an amputee with a gun for a leg in this Rodriguez/Tarantino epic "blow 'em up" flick. I will be seeing this alone, along with 300 - a movie about the Battle of Thermoplyae.
Knocked Up. Seth Rogan from The 40-Year-Old Virgin impregnates his one-night stand. Ryan Seacrest also has a cameo, but I'll let that slide.
Evan Almighty. Okay, this may be a renter. Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman return to this sequel of Bruce Almighty. Carell makes me laugh like crazy, and the thought of him playing a Congressman who has to build an arc.
Live Free or Die Hard. I'll probably have to see this one on my own. However, Kevin Smith is in it, so maybe Sharon will roll with me to it.
Transformers. If you don't know what Transformers are, go soak your head. This is not to be confused with the cartoon movie (which was freaking awesome), but this is a live-action flick directed by Michael Bay.
Blades of Glory. This opus stars Will Ferrel and Amy Poehler along with Jenna Fischer from The Office. Could be the next Anchorman, or it could be the next Talladega Nights. I'm hoping for the former and not the ladder.
Spider-Man 3. Represent.
The Ex. Zach Braff and Amanda Peet (two of Thurston Blogging's favorites) star in this movie about a slacker who has to go back to work after his wife quits her high-paying job.
Into the Wild. A dude picks up and moves to Alaska. Hilarity probably does not ensue. Vince Vaughn is in it, so I'm interested to see his work.
A few others sound interesting, like the new Pirates flick and the latest Bourne movie. Be Kind Rewind with Jack Black also sounds interesting, as does Zodiac with Jake (Donnie Darko rules) Gylllenhaal. Zodiac is about the Zodiac killer in San Fran. Natalie Portman stars in Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, which sounds interesting. She is also in The Other Boleyn Girl with Scarlett Johansson. Looks like a boring flick, but I would like to punch up the script a bit given the chance.
