Haven't seen a movie out of the house for a while but due to errands and other shopping, if I go to a movie it will have to be at the theatre there, which only shows big mainstream stuff.  So, leaving out the ones that strt too soon or too late, should I go see:

2012
Armored
Blindside
Ninja Assassin
Planet 51
Princess and the Frog

I am leery of the last because a Saturday matinee is bound to be packed full o kids.  I am thinking about an early weekday viewing of that.

Or should I just do my errands and come home and watch a DVD or streaming Best Picture winner?

Only one of those I have seen is Blindside and it was shockingly not terrible.

None of those are/look very good, but The Princess and the Frog is likely to be the most visually pleasing and the Disney spectacle is on full display.

2012 is a great piece of cliched disaster porn but its a bit long.  Ninja Assassin shoulda been more fun than that... is called NINJA ASSASSIN!

I know you've been reading a lot of negative from FLY and FroHam on Princess and the Frog, but I really like it.

i thought Planet 51 was pretty fun/good
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

To be fair, I did give it my vote.

i thought Planet 51 was pretty fun/good

This is reassuring. I shall see this eventually.

Ugh. I wish I were in here to defend Dogville a few days ago. It's one of the best films of the decade. Top 5 and stuff.

Tarantino agrees with me. 

"If von Trier had written for the stage, I think he would have won a Pulitzer Prize."

Word(well, despite the fact that the play would have been Danish, and only American literature can win, but still).
