Chronic procrastination has cost me my chance to see Michelle Williams' critically lauded performance in Wendy and Lucy. It's disappeared from every local theater after being out for like a week. Maybe two weeks at E Street. It's been replaced on the docket there by Donkey Punch, a film I posted about a couple of weeks ago about a boat party that goes horribly awry when someone is accidentally killed by a...well, a donkey punch. After looking up the term I gotta confess I'm far more interesed in this flick than I was back when I thought it was just some particularly brutal drink or somethin'. There'll be no procrastination on this one!
I could watch Clive Owen paint his fence and still be entertained. I could watch Naomi Watts do pretty much anything else and I'd happily pay money for it. Tom Twyker directed one of my favorite films, Run Lola Run like ten years ago(damn I'm old!).Put the three together and it means I'll be first in line to see The International, which looks like just another conspiracy flick, but who really cares when it boasts a lineup like this?
Confessions of a Shopaholic will no doubt be the #1 film out of this bunch. But it ain't on my to-do list(although I'm sure it'll be on someone else's I know) so I won't go into detail on it. Damn it looks terrible, though. Then again it does have Isla Fisher in it. I do like Isla. Nice purty red hair....hm, I'll think about seeing this maybe.
Definitely will see it.
Not hearing good things about the Friday the 13th remake. Most seem to revolve around comparisons to the original film, which frankly I don't give a damn about. Unless there are some glaring plotholes which distract from the story I can tell you that I will not be analyzing this film to make sure it stays true to the original classic. It's just not that important. I want to see promiscuous young folk gettin' hacked to bacon bits. Period.
Actor turned soon-to-be failed rapper Joaquin Phoenix's final film(he announced his retirement so he can be a poor man's Everlast or MC Serch) titled Two Lovers drops in limited release today. I'm begging them to bring that shit out here so I can see just how completely he must've phoned in this performance since his heart couldn't have been in it. It might be terrible on an epic scale, and I want to be able to reference this film when he inevitably shows up on vol. 23 of some lame rap battle competition DVD. Probably going up against Jin. It's always Jin.
