Weekend Movie Releases 10/3/08

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.

An American Carol (Comedy)
An anti-American Hollywood filmmaker (who looks similar to Michael Moore) sets out to abolish the 4th of July holiday. He is visited by three spirits that take him on a journey to show the true meaning of America. This is a comedy people. It isn’t really Michael Moore. I just had to get that out there before Fox News gets a clip and runs it.
