P.E.S.T.

I really have no good excuse. I've just felt really lazy (and/or tired) recently and haven't felt like blogging too much. That's why I skipped DVDs Or Death! this week... but I figure I'll make it up with a good round of Pre-Emptive Strike Thursday!

-----------------

Title: W.

Pre-Thoughts: I'm not sure. On the one hand, it's a movie about George W. Bush. On the other hand, it's a movie about George W. Bush. The trailers don't show too much, but you can't judge a movie like that. The last time I saw a movie that had a trailer that showed absolutely nothing, it turned out great (Burn After Reading). So, again... dunno.

Title: Max Payne.

Pre-Thoughts: I really want to see this movie. I've only read one review for it thus far, and it was a negative one, but it was also a review from somebody on imdb (strike one) that is a hardcore fan of the video game (strike two). I think the movie looks visually stunning and really entertaining. And as I've never played the video game, I won't have that point of reference to complain from. And as I've been saying, this looks to be like for Mark Wahlberg what The Matrix was for Keanu. And I really hope it is.

Title: Sex Drive.

Pre-Thoughts: Again, mixed reviews for this thus far. It's either incredibly boring and stupid, or incredibly hilarious and awesome. I've heard it's been compared to the likes of Road Trip and EuroTrip, though not even remotely as dirty (in fact, quite clean), but I still love me some EuroTrip, so I might check it out. Plus, it has a co-starring role with the actor that plays Dale on Greek, so that'd be fun. The most I've seen from him elsewhere is magical-appearing party-goer in Superbad. We'll see.

Title: The Secret Life of Bees.

Pre-Thoughts: What can I say? I've seen one preview for this, and it looked pretty good... even though Dakota Fanning looked even more anorexic and creepy than usual. But it's not coming out here, so I won't be seeing it anyway. Oh well.
