Title: Lakeview Terrace.
Pre-Thoughts: Well, I have heard that Sam Jackson is pretty good in it. And it does look relatively entertaining, too. I might check it out, though I plan on seeing Burn After Reading this weekend as first priority since I didn't get the chance to check it out last weekend due to the hurricane evacuation stuff (wherein nothing happened). So yeah... might be good.

I Am McLovin!
Title: The Duchess.
Pre-Thoughts: Keira Knightley with big hair and puffy dresses? I think I'll skip on this one.

Feed Me, Seymour!
Title: Igor.
Pre-Thoughts: The family-friendly film of the week, Igor looks really cute. And it does have a great voice cast including John Cusack, John Cleese, Steve Buscemi, Sean Hayes, Eddie Izzard, Jennifer Coolidge, Molly Shannon, and even Jay Leno. I don't know about immediately, but I think this would be a fun one to see.

Title: My Best Friend's Girl.
Pre-Thoughts: I do admit I am a Dane Cook fan. This movie, while it looks like it'll have some funny moments, will be a renter, I figure. I'm in no rush to go out and see this.

Stop Saying Okay! Okay.
Title: Ghost Town.
Pre-Thoughts: Ricky Gervais in a lead comedic role in an American movie? Wow. I'd think about checking it out just for that. Though I don't know what it is, but it just feels like this concept has been way over-done. And I feel bad for the wonderful Odd Thomas film that's in the pre-production process right now, because people who don't know the book are going to think it's ripping off this film or something (because it's a funny, average guy who helps out ghosts... even though they can't talk in Odd Thomas)... but OT is so much deeper and darker than this movie probably will be. But anyway, I've gotten off subject. It looks... well... remember that movie Just Like Heaven with Reese Witherspoon, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Heder? No? That's my worries exactly.

I'll join the preemptive strike. Although I'll probably see The Duchess and not tell anyone about it.
ReplyDeleteYou're a Cook fan? Please keep that to yourself.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though - I can understand being a fan of his stand-up, but the movies he makes just look awful, with the only possible exception being Dan in Real Life, but he wasn't starring there.
This is yet another awful week for new releases.
Fletch: Maybe I should have clarified. I'm a fan of Cook's stand-up. I've only seen a couple of his movies, and the only one I actually own/really enjoy is Employee of the Month.
