New Releases:
Megamind: Will Ferrell goes evil super-smurf? Sounds good in principle, but I have a strange feeling that no matter how good this all goes, it'll end poorly. However, I could go for the whole Brad Pitt superhero angle. Then again, I have this sneaking suspicion that this film will turn out to be another "bad guy goes good" episode which I think we've seen played out lately.
Get Low: I know there's absolutely no chance that in the middle of this film Robert Duvall will break down some killer dance moves to the latest Lil' Jon album, but I hold out hope. At last just enough hope to make me want to watch this film.
Due Date: Three years ago while none of us are watching = ideal. Any chance of getting that? To be honest I have no desire to see this one in the least. There's absolutely nothing appealing to me about this. Robert Downey Jr. is good, but this looks too dull. Zachie G is good enough by most standards, but he's been playing up the man-baby routine for too long. I think it's high time we got a new comedy routine. And no, the man-dude doesn't count.
Other Releases: Last Train Home, Room in Rome, Leaving, Mesrine: Killer Instinct: Part 1 (enough with the colons!)
Other Goodies:
48 Hours (blu-ray): Remember when Eddie Murphy was edgy, funny, and cool? Remember when Nic Nolte was known for more than a killer mugshot? Oh, what a walk down memory lane this is.
Memento (blu-ray): In my mind, far and wide the premier Nolton film. Why has he not worked with Guy Pearce again? Seriously, Pearce is dynamic in this (and everything) and I believe would make an amazing Batman villain.
Fish Tank (Criterion): Add another notch to the ever increasing list of Criterion films I haven't seen.
Sweet Smell of Success (Criterion): A great classic, oozing with style of Lancaster and Curtis. As MovieNut14 has likely informed you on multiple occasions - just go see it already.
