P.E.S.T.

Two weeks in a row! Doing good! It's time for Pre-Emptive Strike Thursdays!

Title: Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans.

Pre-Thoughts: I own the first. I saw the second in theater, but wasn't overly impressed. However, this third installment--which happens to be a prequel--actually looks like it could be decent. I might be up to checking this out.

I Am McLovin!




Title: Inkheart.

Pre-Thoughts: I guess this movie just kept getting pushed further and further back (because I've been seeing previews for this movie for over a year) until it landed in January (which is never a good sign). And after my last venture into Brendan Fraser-land (Mummy 3), I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth. However, although I haven't read the books, I adore the concept. Plus, Andy Serkis is doing a (villainous) role that doesn't involve motion capture or Peter Jackson. Color me intrigued.

Title: Killshot.

Pre-Thoughts: Speaking of movies that seem to keep getting pushed back, I swear I saw previews for this at least over two years ago. Honestly. At first, I had no idea what this was until I read up on the plot and the cast, and then I recognized it immediately. It's a thriller staring Diane Lane (alright), Thomas Jane (better), Mickey Rourke (even better), Rosario Dawson (cool) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (awesome). However, I did say that it was a thriller, right? Then why the hell is it being directed by the guy who did Shakespeare In Love and Captain Corelli's Mandolin? Maybe a rent... down the line.

Title: Frost/Nixon.

Pre-Thoughts: I'm listing this because it's finally coming to my town. I'll definitely be checking it out.

A Keanu 'Whoa'




Title: Last Chance Harvey.

Pre-Thoughts: Again, it's just now coming to my town. And while Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson excite me, the actual movie doesn't. Oh well.
