This Week In Movies

Here's this week's edition:

Movies I Want to See:

Avatar -- Unless you haven't watched a TV in the past month, you've seen the preview. And I also blogged about it here. James Cameron's 3D adventure could possibly be the first ever $500 million dollar film, and it better be good.

Crazy Heart (Limited Release) -- Bip-bip. favorite Jeff Bridges stars as a washed up country star in this Fox Searchlight production. He's supposed to give a pretty awesome performance and has already been nominated for an Oscar.

Movies I Would Go See:

Nine (Limited) -- I'm a little confused how a movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, and Marion Cotillard (A Good Year, Public Enemies) isn't getting more publicity than it is. Yes, it's an adaptation of a Broadway show, but that's a stellar cast. You can find the trailer here.

Movies I Would Never Go See:

Did You Hear About The Morgans? -- I've never really liked anything that Sarah Jessica Parker has done, and the preview doesn't make me think this one will be any different.

A couple of sidenotes:

It's a great week for DVD's too. The highest rated movie of this young blog's life, Inglourious Basterds, comes out on DVD Tuesday. And so does the funniest movie of the year, The Hangover.

A long overdue Pirate Radio review will be coming soon...
