This week is a tough one. We finally have some good movies being released and I wasn't sure how to rank the top three. I guess it depends on what you're in the mood for. So in my best Moviefone voice, I give you my picks:
For a supernatural thriller, press:
1) Secret Window
For an action thriller, press:
2) Spartan
For a dark romantic comedy, press:
3) Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself
The drought is over! The Oscars have been awarded, everyone has been thanked ad nauseum, and I can go back to seeing good movies. Life is once again as it should be. Which is a good thing considering that all the good local bands are in Austin, TX for SXSW.
Secret Window
Johnny Depp can call me a whore and I'd still do him for free. Which is why I would happily pay ten dollars to see him play a recently divorced writer who is being haunted by a ghost who is convinced that poor Johnny stole his story.
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London
Wake me when Frankie Muniz grows up and starts doing real movies.
Spartan
The President's daughter has been kidnapped and it's the crack team of Val Kilmer, William H. Macy, and Al Bundy to the rescue. With Mammet at the helm of this picture, you know you're in for a bumpy ride. I wonder how many double crosses will be in this story. One? Two? Twelve?
NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience
Apparently IMAX is having trouble attracting the trailer trash element to their theaters, so they made this two-hour piece of dung. What's next? A behind the scenes look at meth labs?
Broken Wings
Israel is known for being a hot bed of a lot of things, but movies isn't one of them. As Spike from Boston eloquently put it, "Land of milk and honey my ass."
Your $10 is better spent elsewhere.
Wilbur Wants To Kill Himself
As the title suggests, Wilbur is suicidal, but he keeps managing to foil his own plans for death. This doesn't discourage him from trying though, until he falls in love with his brother's fiancÈ.
Who said love was perfect? Worth my $10, yes. Perfect, no.
How to Draw a Bunny
This is a documentary about modern artist Ray Johnson as told by his peers in the art world. I'm sure Ray himself would have been happy to contribute to the dialogue, but he's dead.
