Hard to vote against Assayas (unless you're FLY and haven't been impressed with his films yet because it seems like all French films exist in this four star category of good at the time but not lasting and one has to wonder if that is the best way to describe France/the French in general), but because I am so pissed that CINECAST!ing Philly isn't getting Upstream Color outside of that one night only screening which sold out crazy fast and FLY missed about a month ago, it makes the most sense to see that on the big screen since it might be the most visual/ambitious or whatever.

I vote for Upstream Color.

So I have to get my new tires installed, probably on Monday, at Costco. The Costco is next door to a multiplex, so I plan to do what I did five years ago (Hancock!) and go to a movie while I wait for the truck. Unfortunately, the pickings are rather slim this time, especially since I've already seen the movies that I had any interest in (42, The Company You Keep, Oblivion, Oz).

Help!

The Big Wedding ... I have no idea what this is but it looks terrible. Also: Robin Williams is a deal-breaker.

The Croods ... saw the trailer twice; looks kind of painfully banal.

Evil Dead

Filly Brown ... "an inspiring and gritty portrait of a young artist's striving to find her voice and seize her dreams without compromise" ... there are several huge red flags there.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation 3D

Jurassic Park 3D ... I don't need to see this for the sixth time, extra dimension or no.

Olympus Has Fallen

Pain & Gain ... yeah, right.

Scary Movie V ... see above.

By process of elimination, it looks like I'm leaning toward gore or explosions. But I'll entertain suggestions.

I actually liked The Croods, not amazing, but thought it was decent. Really liked Evil Dead too, so I'd go with whichever of those seems more interesting to you.

There are two on that list.

Not true. One is a film, the other is merely a movie.

Evil Dead is the second best movie of the year so far (Side Effects being the first).
Check out my blog of many topics
