It's been a while since I've been so excited about the options at the movie theater on a particular weekend or short period of time.
I only saw a couple of movies over the summer- Once, LaVie En Rose, 2Days in Paris, and Paris Je Taime, the TV Set, and Hairspray. That seems like a lot, but for a 3 month period of films that you are supposedly going to want to run out and see - only ONE film I saw was a "major" picture. The rest were all indie flick (which is just fine by me).
I was thinking that I want to see a movie or two this weekend and my options are plentiful.
There are are more movies I want to see this weekend than in that whole summer period.
I am excited to see that 3:10 to Yuma is still playing. What else what else?
Enchanted
American Gangster
I'm Not There (Todd Haynes I think is one of my favorite directors. what a guy!)
Love in the Time of Cholera (even though the reviews have been less than great and I haven't read the book yet)
Margo at the Wedding
Michael Clayton
Lions for Lambs (maybe)
Across the Universe
And two movies I halfheartedly want to see, meaning I probably won't - August Rush and This Christmas.
A bit more movies than I can afford to see in one weekend, but I like having the option. For weeks and weeks there was nothing out that I wanted to see. It'll be nice to get back to the movies again. Now, I did see No Country for Old Men with a friend a couple weeks ago - but I went not knowing what it was about AT ALL. It wasn't a bad film - it was actually pretty good, but not something I would have woken up from a nap for and seen at 11 at night had I known the content.
