when dusk has come and I am gone
I wish for you another dawn


Weekend Movie Releases 10/3/08

movies — Gary R. Hess @ 9:52 pm on Sep 27, 2008

I finally got one right! Eagle Eye is #1 for the final weekend of September. Who would have known? I did! Anyway, enough gloating.

Who will be the best this weekend? Weill it be a comedy or thriller or a drama? I’ll go ahead and make a bold guess at How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. Do I want to watch it? No, but then I hardly ever want to watch the ‘big’ movie… until it comes on DVD, then I watch it.

9/26/08 Weekend Movie Releases

movies — Gary R. Hess @ 5:10 pm on Sep 21, 2008

Lakeview Terrace (the Samuel L. Jackson flick) did better than expected. The plot, at least to my understanding, was more about the interracial relationship than the trailers led on. Anyway, this week three wide release movies are opening, each in a separate genre, along with several limited releases, and Towelhead is expanding.

Eagle Eye [...]
