Into The Wild - Being partially based in my home state of South Dakota and featuring a soundtrack by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, I was already psyched about this film. And then I found out it was directed by Sean Penn, had a great cast and is getting tremendous reviews.
VERDICT - SEE IT ASAP.
Gone Baby Gone - Another prestige picture that's opening a little before Oscar season, this movie is based on a novel from the same writer as Mystic River and the reviews have once again been off-the-charts.
VERDICT - SEE IT ASAP.
Rendition - The reviews have been more mixed on this prestige / message picture, but my most trusted critic (Roger Ebert) called it perfect, so I'm there.
VERDICT - SEE IT ASAP.
The Comebacks - You might think that this is just another stupid ripoff in the Scary Movie, Epic Movie, Date Movie series, but I saw it today and it's actually really funny, in a ZAZ sort of way. It's certainly not a great movie, but it's much better than I expected it. You'll especially like it if you've noticed that there's a new sports movie out every week and it's basically the same movie over and over again.
VERDICT - SEE IT.
30 Days Of Night - "Based on the graphic novel" is usually a good selling-point for me, but I've never even heard of this graphic novel and the whole vampire thing is lost on me. The plot is pretty clever though and when I get a chance I'll check it out.
VERDICT - SEE IT.
Things We Lost In The Fire - Yet another prestige film with Oscar hopes that's getting great reviews. Geez, when is Hollywood going to stop making these films and get to work on Dr. Doolittle 4? This one looks pretty good, but a bit boring from the trailers.
VERDICT - SEE IT.
Sarah Landon And The Paranormal Hour, The Ten Commandments - Yeah, I've never even seen an AD for either of these movies and I'm 99.99% sure I wouldn't want to see them even if I did.
VERDICT - SKIP THEM.
