This week’s Movie Round-Up is all messed up. Â Two of these movies opened yesterday and one opens on Saturday, with nothing opening on Friday and me posting on Thursday… oh well… let’s get on with it…
Gulliver’s Travels: (official site)
I want to mock this film. Â I tend to dislike when Jack Black is all Jack-Black-ing out, making faces and saying silly nonsense. Â But I watch this trailer and am reminded that it’s by the same people who did Night at the Museum which was such a fun movie, and this movie looks fun too. Â It is highly unlikely that I’ll go see this in the theater for $10, let alone pay $13 to see it in 3D, but I can easily see myself watching this at home at some point and feeling good about it.
Little Fockers: (official site)
I tolerated Meet the Parents. Â I disliked Meet the Fockers. Â I’m now willing to openly hate Little Fockers.
True Grit: (official site)
Having completely come to terms with the fact that Hollywood is content with turning out remakes and sequel, I first saw this trailer with an open mind… and it was blown away. Â Early reviews of this film are heaping praises on the little girl and on the film overall, and it makes me very excited. Â I will, somehow, manage to see this movie. Â Soon. Â If for no other reason than because I can’t let Jonah Hex be the last western I’ve seen on the big screen. Â That must be rectified.
Also, Black Swan goes wider this week and might actually be playing in a theater near you…
