New Movies for 2/1/08
Major Theater Movies Out for this weekend…I could leave these ones…netflix it is!
The Eye - Starring: Jessica Alba as Sydney Wells who is an accomplished concert violinist that was blind since her childhood. Sydney receives a double corneal transplant, something she has dreamed about all her life. Her sight is restored and thus begins the struggle to see again. With the help of her doctor and sister she progresses. However soon afterwards, she begins seeing strange apparitions and images that begin to haunt her. Her loved ones and friends begin to question her sanity. Sydney believes someone may have opened more then her eyes to a world only she can see…(Rated: PG-13 Drama/Horror/Thriller) [This seems like it might be a bit of a stretch for a movie ticket purchase for this girl. Although, I know the seats will be filled with strapping young lads who love them some Alba! I'll pass and maybe catch it on a movie channel in due time on some lonely night.]
Strange Wilderness – Starring: Steve Zahn, Allen Covert, Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Kevin Heffernan, Krista Allen. Animal enthusiast Peter Gaulk and his friend Fred Wolf take over a “jumped the shark” wildlife TV show. The ratings start to dip and the show is facing cancellation. In a desperate attempt to save the show, they set out to find the one creature that could bring the show back to life…they seek “Bigfoot.” (Rated: R – Comedy) [I am convinced Hollywood is now drawing ideas out of a tall hat or using the rock/scissors/paper method to determine new movie plots...ugh. Maybe I'm missing something here? This would work for a drunken game night playing in the back ground kinda movie viewing pleasure.]
Over Her Dead Body – Starring: Eva Longoria Parker, Paul Rudd,
Here are a few limited releases: ART/FOREIGN
Caramel : “Centers around five Lebanese women of different religions and ages, who work in a beauty salon.”
Vivere : “On Christmas Eve, Francesca’s little sister, Antonietta, runs away to Rotterdam with her musician boyfriend. On the way to find her, Francesca picks up Gerlinde, a suicidal lovesick woman. Now, she has two lives to save. With the paths of three lost souls criss-crossing in Rotterdamn, it soon is hard to tell who is saving whom.”
The Silence before Bach : “This is an approach to music and the trades and the subjects that surround it through Bach’s works. A look at the profound dramaturgy relationship between image and music where the latter is not merely conceived as a subsidiary to the image but as a subject of the narration in its own right.”
Trailer Park Boys: The Movie : “After they are released from jail for trying to rob an ATM, Ricky and Julian reunite with their pal Bubbles at the Sunnyvale Trailer Park, where they soon plan a new caper: a coin heist that will make them all rich.” [This one is bases on a long-running Canadian TV series.]
Suggestion: Pour a glass, Cop a squat and Enjoy the weekend, Cheers!
