Case 39: (official site)
It’s nice to see Renée Zellweger return to her horror movie roots.  (Her first big role was in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.)  However, this movie was made in 2006, released in other countries last year and finally getting its US release now.  The US release was delayed a few times.  All those delays don’t speak of confidence in the film, so I’m worried this is going to suck.  I want to see it, because it does look a little bit interesting, but there is no way I’ll drop $10 to see it.  Netflix for sure.
Let Me In: (official site)
A remake of the film Let The Right One In. Â I’ve had the original in my Netflix Instant queue for a while, but I have to really be in the mood for a foreign film. Â Seeing as how I don’t speak any foreign language well enough to watch without English subtitles, a foreign film means more effort. Â That said, I’ve heard it is incredible, and I really want to see it. Â And I will… probably at some point after I’ve seen the remake. Â I’m going to try my best to see this in the theater, but don’t know if I’ll make it.
The Social Network: (official site)
Facebook. Â A place on the Internet that I both love and hate. Â But this movie isn’t really about Facebook as much as it is about the personalities behind its creation, or at least the perception of the personalities from the outside. Â But being directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, I can’t possible see how this is going to be anything less than good. Â Early reviews are even saying that it’s great. Â This movie will probably be the reason I don’t see Let Me In until next weekend.
I really like this week’s mash-up poster. I think it turned out very well.
What? No mention of Hatchet II?
Sadly, while Box Office Mojo does list it as releasing today, it doesn’t list a number of theaters. I can only find it in 2 in the entire Atlanta area, which likely means a limited release. I tend not to mention limited releases unless I’ve seen them, and I haven’t seen Hatchet II.
AJ is still the man, though, and I look forward to A Horrible Way to Die next year.
No love for Chain Letter either.
Saw The Social Network and enjoyed it. The movie is diminished a bit knowing that a lot of it is bullshit, but Fincher knows how to direct and Sorkin knows how to write. Worth seeing, just don’t expect to be getting the truth from it.
