Weekly Shares – November 25, 2008

This Week in Movies – 11/24/08

In Theaters:

  • Australia – Nicole Kidman and Wolverine are Australian cattle ranchers during WWII. I like Baz Luhrmann, but I’m a little skeptical about this one. Let’s hope it’s nothing like the previews and everything like a guy who goes by Baz.
  • Four Christmases – Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn get caught in a lie and are sentenced to Christmas with each of their families. The shenanigans are strong with this one.
  • Transporter 3 – Jason Statham makes another movie chock full of fast cars and ridiculous fight sequences. You know I’m on board.

On Video:

  • Hancock – Will Smith is a super hero with a drinking problem. I’ll be watching it, but I doubt Megan will. How’s that for a recommendation?
  • Fred Claus – Vince Vaughn is Paul Giamatti’s brother. Did I mention Paul Giamatti is Santa Claus? You guessed it, shenanigans.
  • Space Chimps – Animated space shenanigans.
  • Meet Dave – Eddie Murphy in a whole bunch of shenanigan suits.

Favorite Video Friday – Forests

This is getting harder and harder to do every week I do it.

This week: Into the Woods

Goldfrapp – A & E

There’s something strangely hypnotic about this video.

The Raconteurs – Old Enough

I’m convinced Jack White can’t make a bad video.

Modest Mouse – People as Places as People

Moral of the story: don’t chop up your daughter’s boyfriend and throw him in the fire, or your daughter may get sucked into the world of the tree-men.

This Week in Movies – 11/17/08

In Theaters:

  • Bolt – A famous cartoon super dog thinks his powers are real. I can’t believe this movie is real. What do I care, take your kids.
  • Twilight – Pretty tween Vampires that believe in abstinence, a tale only a sheltered Mormon housewife could write.

On Video:

  • Wall-E – Pixar’s latest about a lonely robot. How can you resist those cute little robot eyes?
  • Tropic Thunder – Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. (in black face) make a ridiculous movie about making a ridiculous action movie that suddenly turns real. Sign me up.
  • The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 – Yup, they made a sequel … Whether I like it or not, this one’s probably going to end up in my queue. Maybe someday we’ll be able to afford 2 movies at a time and I can have my own queue.
