Waiting is the hardest part





Sigh. If and when I make a movie I will make sure it is released in the first two months of the year so it'll look like gold compared to everything that's out. It's not to say these movies are bad by any means, just that none are truly original.

Put on your walking shoes and take a journey with me as we take a gander at the chart toppers for this past weekend. And...here...we...GO!

Friday the 13th comes in at #1. I can respect that. After Jason went to Space and took on Mr. Kruger, it was about time for him to come back to what his mama taught him and slash up some horny teens. Good form, Mr. Voorhees, originality is the key to success.

He's just not into you. Though I'm not really into date movies aka movies for angry/upset-recently dumped-girlfriends-that-will-watch-this-movie-after-going-to-ben-&-jerry's-for-a-pint-o'- chunky-monkey-while-wearing-sweatpants-and-a-box-of-'hankies', it has a great cast and is a carbon copy of the best seller that came out about 4 years ago.

Taken is nothing more than a less awesome, moreover, less AMERICAN Commando.

Coraline. Everyone should see this movie. Think Spirited Away but not Japanese, not whiney, and on the cusp of creepy graphics. Check it.

Annnddd Confessions of a Shopaholic. Girls that have a mean age of about 3.68 years less than those that will see He's just not that into you will see this. They of course also may be the same girls. The difference between these two movies is a girl actually has a shot at bringing her boyfriend to see the former. No man alive would willingly see this movie without some serious incentive, ie if Sacha Baron Cohen weren't in the picture and some lucky guy were able to take Isla Fisher to the premiere.

Like my counterpart, I am eagerly anticipating the premiere of Watchmen. Until then we're graced by Madea goes to Jail, Under the Sea 3D (which actually looks pretty amazing), Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, and another 3D adventure, Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience. Lucky for us NY/LA residents, Gomorrah is out as well. Expect a full review on it shortly.
