Yeah, I changed the title. Nobody cares what's on my plate. Chances are nobody cares what movies I'm planning to see, either, but I like writing about 'em so hear goes. Oh, and I'm a day late. So sue me. I had a party to attend!
Another week without a Kidman or a Jackman sighting. Australia gets closer and closer to losing it's place in my already full mental schedule. When it comes to movies I'm often like Kelly Bundy on Married with Children. When new information is learned, a piece of old information utterly disappears. Soon I won't even remember what an Australia is, and according to the box office receipts, most people don't know what an Australia is anyway.
This is actually a slow week for movies, so if there's going to be a week for me to see Australia this would be it. The major film to check out is Will Smith's Seven Pounds, which I'm told has no connection to 21 Grams. Although I wish it did. I loved 21 Grams. Seven Pounds appears to be the story of a man making penance for a horrible deed by helping seven people. Looks confusing, and frankly I'm not so much a fan of Will Smith the dramatic actor. He's much cooler running away from robots and mutants in dystopic futures.
The only other film playing around here worth noting is the Meryl Streep drama, Doubt, about a harsh, fundamentalist nun who's at odds with a progressive pastor whom she believes has committed pedophilia. Sounds cheery, eh? With Streep, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams the primary cast I know the acting will be good. It's only playing at E Street right now but should be expanding wide(that sounds dirty) in the next couple weeks. Maybe after all the Christmas nonsense is over I can sneak out to a late night film.
Oh, and one more thing! Landmark E Street Cinema is having a midnight screening of The Big Lebowski tonight! So everybody bring your bowling ball, your carton of milk, and your urine soaked persian rug. It wouldn't be very dude like of you not to show up!
