The day of reckoning is upon us. No, not that one, do I look like Harold Camping? I'm talking about it being Super 8 release day! *shivers in corner* please be good, please be good, please be good.
Wide Releases:
Super 8: Psyched, worried, curious... if this movie bombs I'll be sorely depressed. Not with respect to box office take, with respect to quality. I've read a lot of reviews criticizing the movie for being too much of an homage, but that really doesn't sound like much of a criticism to me. Not saying they're wrong, I can't say until I've seen it, but I can't recall the last time I read so many reviews from people talking themselves out of giving a positive score to a movie they admittedly enjoyed. We shall see...
Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer: How is this movie getting a wide release in the middle of the blockbuster season? Seriously? How? Can anyone explain that to me? I don't know anyone who knows anything about it, anyone who is anticipating and waiting to see it, let alone anyone who thinks it'll be a success. So what is it doing here? Not just that, but Heather Graham? I know The Hangover wasn't exactly the return to form she was hoping it'd be, but damn... low blow... real low....
Limited Releases:
Trollhunter: *shrug* Nordic horror films for the win?
The Trip: This movie/tv show/mini-series/whatever has been working its way around the map a long time before finally coming on over here. Love Rob Brydon's off-kilter dry comedic style, and Coogan has been completely wasted by his US castings. Would love to see this turn out golden.
