– 237.63 arbitrary stars

This Week in Movies – 5/12/08

In Theaters Friday:

On Video Tuesday:

  • The Great Debaters – An elite team of Master Debaters um… debate and stuff. If I remember right, this looked decent, but I don’t usually remember right.
  • Untraceable – Another crime suspense thriller that I’m not going to see.
  • Mad Money – Queen Latifah, Katie Holmes, and Diane Keaton steal a bunch of money set to be destroyed. Enter hijinks. Exit Luke.

Stumbling Through the Internet Pipes

One of these days I’ll get around to writing a real post. Until then, Stumble this:

  • Coolest. sculpture. evar. Check the video.
  • Think you know Disneyland? You have no idea. (Yes, I do realize I just quoted MTV Diaries and yes, I do hate myself)
  • German engineering at it’s finest, now in digital.
  • You may have seen this projector, but have you seen this webcam? I want both and I want them NOW!

This Week in Movies – 5/5/08

In Theaters Friday:

  • Speed Racer – Say what you will about the Wachowski Brothers, they know how to make a visually pleasing movie. I might be excited about this if I had watched the cartoon as a child. Kids should like it. I think I’ll wait for DVD.
  • What Happens in Vegas – Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher. If you watch this movie, I will personally come to your house, beat you unconscious, and steal your wallet, because you are obviously too stupid to manage your own money. I had some friends that PA’d for this movie. They wish they hadn’t. That’s saying something.
  • The Fall (Limited Release) – A trippy Independent flick brought to the US by Spike Jonze and David Fincher. Find a theater that’s playing it and watch this movie!
  • Surfwise (Limited Release) – A documentary about a Doctor that quit his job and took his family off the grid to teach strict moral codes while driving from surf spot to surf spot. Looks interesting

On Video Tuesday:

  • I’m Not There – Bob Dylan portrayed by various actors/actress (Cate Blanchett) in one movie. Sadly, this is the only thing worth your time this week.

This Week in Movies – 4/30/08

In Theaters Friday:

  • Iron Man – Jon Favreau directs Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. Is it wrong of me to hope Megan doesn’t really want to see this movie so I can see it this weekend while she’s out of town? I think I might be more excited for this one than Indiana Jones or Batman. Shocking, I know.
  • Made of Honor – Patrick Dempsey gets made the maid of honor after he made the mistake of being made the best friend of the girl by which he’d like to get made a man. Not to be confused with Maid in Manhattan, Maid to Order, or the thousands of other Maid variations found on IMDb

On Video Yesterday:

  • 27 Dresses – Katherine Heigl has a lot of dresses. The End.
  • The Golden Compass – Nicole Kidman hangs out with a bunch of mythical creatures that hate Christianity.
  • How She Move – Some girl tries to dance her way out of the hood. I want to know if this ever happens in real life. Are there really underground clubs scattered across the US in which happy-go-lucky teens band together to battle with the power of dance? Seriously, I want to know.
  • The Diving Bell and the Butterfly – True story about a paralyzed editor who communicates by blinking. Supposed to be really powerful.
