Each Friday, we will offer up two movies that are scheduled to be released within the accompanying weekend. We know, we know. It’s hard to come across blogs who ever actually get movie talk right. That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.

It's an odd week for movies, really. Both this and the below feature are two flicks I probably won't take the time to see in theaters unless if I find myself in a situation that says "Gee, I'd really like to go to the movies today," which is a notion I simply never have the time for these days. And even with that said, when both of these movies inevitably come in the mail through Netflix, I know I won't be excited. But there's something about both of these that I'm attracted to. For this first movie, I think it's safe to say I enjoy pretty much everyone involved here. It seems a bit cheesy, but that's what these sometimes-terrific actors seem to be aiming for more so these days than ever. Helen Miren is still getting it done. Like, really. Getting. It. Done. And we all love Morgan Freeman, right? This movie seems like the perfect fit...for a weekend sitting at home sick in January while the remote control is too far away to reach and change the channel from USA. A couple gags here. A few lines there. Can't fault these dudes for wanting a pay check.
Hereafter
This is a call to the 12 people who read this blog: Can you please, please, please explain to me what this movie is supposed to be about? I don't get it. If you know, please kindly take to the comments section with thoughts and information. I know this is a limited release this week, but it's about to go wide, and when it does, people will flock to it as though Matt Damon is starring in it and Clint Eastwood is directing it. Oh, wait. Why I'm skeptical: "Invictus" wasn't really that good, and not only does this feature the same star and the same 80-year-old director, but it also features the same behind-the-scenes crew. Why I'm curious: Matt Damn is simply lovely. He was on David Letterman's talk show earlier this week and was utterly charming. I can't think of a movie I've seen him in that I've hated. "The Informant!" and Invictus" are two that weren't all that good, but hate is not a word that's applicable. Another wait for DVD situation? Sure. That is, unless if one of you can tell me what the hell is going on here.

Double Feature: It's Kind Of A Funny Story & Life As We Know It
Each Friday, we will offer up two movies that are scheduled to be released within the accompanying weekend. We know, we know. It’s hard to come across blogs who ever actually get movie talk right. That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
It's Kind Of A Funny Story
I have high hopes for this. I am not one of those people who seem to think Zach Galifianakis is funny, interesting or entertaining on any level (and yes, this includes "The Hangover"). But this seems to be the first time he's going to try and take himself seriously, and for some odd, inexplicable reason, this intrigues me. It's like Will Ferrell in "Stranger Than Fiction." I've never liked the dude, but that's a movie I enjoyed so much, I decided to buy. And it's that very reason that parlays "It's Kind Of A Funny Story" into "I kind of want to see this" territory. Well, that and it seems as though there is a romance beneath all of this. And, much like a four-year-old who will always smile at the thought of ice cream, when you incorporate a love story into any flick, I'll be interested. It won't be opening wide this weekend, but with any luck, it'll do well enough to make it into a theater near me soon. Though, as always, if you happen to come across it, all comments and reviews are welcome.
Life As We Know It
Boy, if I didn't dislike Katherine Heigl as much as I do, this seems a movie tailor-made for people such as myself. I thought Josh Duhamel was the best part of "When In Rome," and even though he's been steppin' out on Fergie, he's quickly becoming one of my favorites as a male lead in a rom-com. Let me guess: They start out hating each other. An hour-and-a-half, three pee breaks and a bag of popcorn later, they are madly in love and decide to raise a kid that isn't their own in a happily-ever-after world. This, in turn, inspires Fergie's hubby and Josh Kelly's wifey to try and pro-create on their own, and the movie ends with plans on having a child of their own. Just a guess. Better question: What's a better song - "London Bridge," or "Amazing?" If you don't remember the latter, look it up - you'll know what I'm talking about. Replace Heigl with Jen Anniston or Amy Adams and I'm in. Way in.

Double Feature: The Social Network & Speed Dating
Each Friday, we will offer up two movies that are scheduled to be released within the accompanying weekend. We know, we know. It’s hard to come across blogs who ever actually get movie talk right. That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
The Social Network
Never have I turned so quickly and so swiftly on a movie until now. This began as a film I thought I may wind up coming across on DVD someday. Now, I have plans to see it during its first week in theaters. I've been (kind of) accidentally keeping tabs on the press the two stars have done for this, and it's safe to say if Justin Timberlake or Jesse Eisenberg weren't both in this movie, I may not have as much interest. They say it makes Zuckerberg look awful, but I tend to like awful people from time to time. Will this make me finally buckle down and begin my own Facebook page? Absolutely not. But will it teach me something about the origin of where the phenomenon came from? It seems that way, and that's why I'm as drawn to it as I am. Well, that and Rashida Jones, the prettiest girl Jim Halpert ever dated, also plays a role somewhere within the walls of this movie. This may be the most surprisingly good movie of the year. And now that I'm finally willing to go into it with an open mind, the sky's the limit, friends. Now go update your status to "excited."
Speed Dating
We could have went with that horror flick that Renee Zellweger is starring in, but I don't have any idea what it's about. So I thought to myself: If I'm going to really have to write about a movie I have no interest in (or no knowledge about), I might as well make it about a movie absolutely nobody has heard of. So alas, we land on "Speed Dating," a pseudo romantic comedy (yay!) starring a slew of African-American actors I've never seen before. There are familiar faces here (and even a Tom Green sighting!), though I will force you actually play the trailer below to find out who they are. Is this going to open anywhere near you? Of course not. Will it be on DVD by next Thursday? Sure looks like it. But this is a hell of a lot better than another "Well, it's almost Halloween, so we must put out a scary movie with a pretty face in it" film that will be polluting theaters for the next four weeks. Yes, this is cheesy, but at least no one dies (or at least, we think no one dies).

Double Feature: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps & You Again

That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Around a week ago, I put the first installment of this movie in my Netflix que, and since then I have received "When In Rome" and "Youth In Revolt." Sure, I know it says "very long wait," but how long exactly is that wait, damnit? Anyways, I, much like anyone else who has gone to a theater in the last six months, began seeing trailers for this so, so long ago. Initially, I had no interest. But as the commercials kept playing, and as the grumblings regarding how great the first one was became louder, I became sold on wanting to see this. The problem, though, is that I feel it's essential to see the first one before I move forward with this. It's worth it, right? All of that stuff aside, the definition of a perfect woman (according to, well, me), Carey Mulligan is featured here, and the more I become infatuated with her, and the more copies of Vogue I buy simply because she graces the cover, the more it makes me want to catch this in the theaters. Unfortunately, I have a long way to go until I get there, though. Quick question (and most importantly): Is seeing the first one essential to seeing this one? To those out there who are capable of answering such a thing, your comments are treasured.
You Again
I still don't entirely understand the premise of this movie. I've seen a zillion previews for it - both in a theater and in front of a television - and I can't quite understand what this movie's endgame is. I discovered Kristin Bell can't carry a movie on her own this past week when I took in "When In Rome," but nobody's asking her to here. Jamie Lee Curtis seems to be someone I should like, though I can't say I know too much about her. While seeing a commercial for this, a roommate of mine said, "you're going to see that someday," to which I replied, "I really don't think so." Why? I...don't know. I mean, don't get me wrong. I dig these kinds of cheese ball teenage girl angst flicks, but there is something about this that seems off-putting. That said, though, if any of you out there happen upon this movie over the weekend and enjoy it, I could be swayed (hint, hint). Regardless, Ms. Bell will never look better than she did in "Couples Retreat." Ever.

Double Feature: Jack Goes Boating & The Town

It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Jack Goes Boating
A lot of movies out this week that I would normally use this space to talk about. But I've been following the evolution of this movie for over a year now, and though I realize it is only a limited release this week (it opens wide next week, though I am sure that will mean going from seven theaters to, oh, say, like 19), I feel as though it is my duty to tackle this one now, the day it finally comes out (even if it is to only a handful of places). As I said yesterday, Philip Seymour Hoffman has forever been, and will forever be, my favoritest actor ever. "The Office" has never been better than it was when Amy Ryan became Michael Scott's love interest for 58 seconds (oh, and she was also phenomenal in something called "Gone Baby Gone"). It has all the elements to be the best movie released this year, and it has all the potential to be one of my top whatever movies in the history of forever. It's love. It's loss. It looks like it has the tone of "Savages." It's sad. It's happy. It's slow. It looks to be every single thing I look for in a great movie. Here's hoping 1) it doesn't let me down and 2) it opens within 200 miles of where I live. Really don't want to have to wait for the DVD on this one. Really, really don't.
The Town
I've been seeing previews for this thing for months upon months upon months now. Jeremy Renner. Jon Hamm. And though I'm not as hot on Ben Affleck as others may be, I think I liked "Extract" a lot more than most, and a lot of that had to do with the fact that he was in it. The surprise? People are actually talking Oscar when it comes to this, a movie that appears to be nothing more than a simple smarty pants action flick. So this just has to be great, right? It has all the big names attached to it (the studio that brought you "The Departed" and, not to mention, some kind of tie into the aforementioned fabulous "Gone Baby Gone"), and we finally get to see the guy who starred in last year's Best Picture winner in another movie, something that felt like it should have happened months ago. But alas, I trust him. I trust Don Draper. And I trust the previews I've seen. This is a great weekend for movies. Don't waste it, friends.

It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
I'm Still Here
Intriguing, intriguing set of movies released this week (and the last week before one of the more anticipated movies I've seen previewed — "The Town" — finally comes out. How great does that look? Jeremy Renner. Jon Hamm. Are you kidding me?) So, this is what Joaquin Phoenix was up to all this time, eh? I have a sneaky suspicion this thing isn't going to open within 500 miles of me, so if anyone happens across it throughout the weekend, any comments left would be oh, so greatly appreciated. Casey Affleck is the only other name attached to this, so it must be great, right? Though I know I won't be able to catch it until it hits DVD, the hopes for this lie somewhere next to "Spinal Tap." Weather or not it turns out to be a music-y "Borat," remains to be seen, but we can at least keep our fingers crossed that these two dudes know what they are doing. Besides, you've seen "Walk The Line" and "Gone Baby Gone," right?
Lovely, Still
This was recommended to me weeks ago. I had no idea it was this close to actually coming out. Martin Landau (who, by the way, is absolutely fabulous in "Entourage") plays an old guy who falls in love with an old lady. Or, at least, so the previews suggest. Why would anybody want to see this? That's a great question. Why would I want to see it? Because it seems cute, silly! Love stories are the best (though only when they pan out, which is something I, in 26 years, have personally been unable to see through). The best part? Kids can double date with their parents. As the elders take in this particular film, the teens can sit in on a screening of "Going The Distance," though make sure you are over 18 because dang, that movie is crude. In any case, if you love love (something I've been guilty of way more often than a man should), give this a shot. If for no other reason because all people above the age of 60 are better than you. Honestly.

Double Feature: Going The Distance & The American
Each Friday, we will offer up two movies that are scheduled to be released within the accompanying weekend. We know, we know. It’s hard to come across blogs who ever actually get movie talk right. That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Going The Distance
It's been feast or famine this summer for movies and I. Fortunately, this weekend is looking particularly feast-like. I saw the preview for this first while on vacation and taking in "The Kids Are All Right," and was immediately drawn to it. Jason Sudeikis. Charlie Day. Drew Barrymore. And though I'm not even in the large faction of people who seem to love Justin Long, he looks likable in the sections I've seen of this flick on television. Good news, too. It's even opening to good reviews! It's romantic. It's a comedy. And considering I've already worn my heart upon my sleeve while gushing over the (not so typically loved) "Leap Year," this thing has to be right up my alley, right? Besides, this is the first time we get to see Charlie from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" on the big screen. And you have to root for that, even if he simply plays an extension of his character from the aforementioned television show (which the previews suggest he does). No way this movie doesn't get two milk-stakes up. Anything less would be a crime.
The American
It's a dude movie. Action. Clooney. What else do you want? Much like the above, there are plenty of reviewers who believe in this, and that makes me happy. After "Up In The Air," George could remake "Aladdin" in anime, release it in 3D only and somehow incorporate the next UFC pay-per-view, and I'd want to be at a theater on opening night. Also rumored in this flick: A Clooney with no shirt. Not too sure how I feel about that. Watching him act his just so easy, and he's been one of the few to never feel the need to expose his body in a movie. OK. That sounded a bit too prude-ish. Never mind. Go ahead, George. Do what you want. This appears to be the weekend to kick off a string of good-to-great movie weekends from now until the end of the year simply because Oscar season is slowly, yet surely, creeping in. And thank God. No way would I be able to stand another weekend like this.

Takers
Hey, look! It’s Stringer Bell from “The Wire!” Or Charles from “The Office,” if you fancy. The problem? He’s surrounded by a rapper who just got out of jail, an r&b singer who should still be in jail, Johnny Drama’s real-life brother and the dude who was in “Star Wars.” Boy, T.I. looks bad in these previews, doesn’t he? He just doesn’t seem like he can act all that well. Biggest question: Does Chris Brown being in this movie impact how many people end up going to see it? That’s an awfully good question. This has “nobody could possibly go and see this” written all over it, but weren’t some people saying the exact same thing about “The Expendables?” Who knows? It’s action. It’s got a ton of people in it. And school is about to start. $10 million? Maybe? $5 million? Either way, let’s hope Stringer can land a part in a movie I actually want to see someday. That, friends, would make me awfully happy.
The Last Exorcism
I hate to say this. I really do. But the way this movie appears to be shot, it seems like it's legitimately scary, and actually something that wouldn’t be all that bad if you tend to like horror films. Me? Give me the “Saws” and that’s about it. But you? Well, the general public seems to enjoy horror flicks. And this has Eli Roth’s hands all over it. The last time I checked, he was supposed to be a pretty big deal in this particular genre, right? The trailer reminds me of “The Blair Witch Project” in its own weird, off-color way. Side: I actually saw TBWP in theaters, and this was during the portion of my life that I didn’t watch movies. Initially even thought it was real. Spooked me out. Anyways, where we were? Oh, yes. That’s right. Hey, why not check this out, if you dig scary stuff? Patrick Fabian is in it. And he was in “Saved By The Bell: The College Years.” And yes, that sound you hear is the car door slamming as you now get in the car to rush to see the movie.

Double Feature: The Switch & Lottery Ticket
Each Friday, we will offer up two movies that are scheduled to be released within the accompanying weekend. We know, we know. It’s hard to come across blogs who ever actually get movie talk right. That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
The Switch
Last week, Michael Cera bombed with a dismal opening weekend that saw his movie, "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World," barely break the $10 million barrier. This week, we see how another "Arrested Development" alum can do. And he even has a little help from Jennifer Aniston! Me? I'll have to see it (remember, this comes from someone who highly enjoyed "Extract"). In the theater? Probably not. Though if I lived in a convenient place that was surrounded by movie theaters, the likelihood of me seeing it in an actual theater would probably increase. Also, I really, really, really like Jen. I do. Count me in what seems to be the decreasing number of people who still love her. The only problem? It seems to be opening to wretched reviews (i.e. a 45 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes). But, hey. The critics said the same thing about the aforementioned "Extract" adventure. So what do they know, anyways? If nothing else, it can hold people like me over until that "Arrested Development" script is finally completed.
Lottery Ticket
What the hell is this? Bill Bellamy. T-Pain. Charlie Murphy. Ice Cube. And a "Oh, so that's what she's doing now" Teairra Mari (disclosure: I own her debut and only album. Didn't burn it. I own it, as in, I bought it.). Had no idea what this was, even after I saw the trailer six times. How could anybody think this is a good idea? And why do idiot comedies centered around African-Americans such as this continue to creep out through the cracks? Really, really liked Bow Wow on "Entourage" and thought that after his work there, he could be taken seriously as an actor. I even could go as far to say that I thought his career looked "promising." One step forward, eight steps back, I suppose. The writers are killing it, dismissing the movie as an unfunny play on black stereotypes. Gee. How could they possibly say that? Oh wait, maybe they've seen this...

Double Feature: Scott Pilgram Vs. The World & Eat Pray Love

That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Michael Cera. Anna Kendrick. Aubrey Plaza. And these aren't people I simply like. I love them. Not going to see this. Not even on DVD. It's just so hard to get into something based around a comic book. Yes. A comic book. Not a graphic novel. It's a book filled with colors and little dialogue. Even when I find myself edging toward "I may see this someday" territory, I see one more clip that reminds me I'll just be disappointed. Floating words around everything that happens (i.c. the word "ring" floating around a telephone as it makes a sound)? Honestly? We are starting to get into the time of year in which good movies come around, so though I am exponentially disappointed that Mr. Cera is in yet another movie I'll most likely pass on, I must take solace in the fact that something good may be coming around the corner. How long until that "Arrested Development" movie again?
Eat Pray Love
How odd is it that of the two movies this week, I admit I'm more likely to see the one that isn't centered around a comic book and stars Michael Cera? More so, how odd is it that the one I've already admitted to at least taking in on DVD someday is the one starring Julia Roberts and was lauded by such a powerhouse woman as Oprah? Oh, and did I mention I'm 20-something, and, well, a dude? Yeah, anyways, the always-fabulous Javier Bardem (rent "Vicki, Christina, Barcelona" tonight), the often-funny James Franco, and the always brilliant Viola Davis join Ms. Roberts in a tale that was seemingly meant to be discussed throughout your local woman's book club meetings with authority. These kinds of pseudo-poignant movies are always films I enjoy, though, and when you take into consideration that I wasn't one of the 90 million people who hated "Duplicity," one of Roberts' most recent efforts, I could easily see myself falling into the trap of seeing this when nothing else I want to see is at the theater I'm located near. Side: Has anyone actually read this book? Come on, now. I know at least some of you have. Drop a review in the comments. It may make or break my movie-viewing ventures.

Double Feature: Dinner For Schmucks & Charlie St. Cloud
Each Friday, we will offer up two movies that are scheduled to be released within the accompanying weekend. We know, we know. It’s hard to come across blogs who ever actually get movie talk right. That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Dinner For Schmucks
It honestly, truly surprises me when people come up to me and say they really can’t wait for this movie to come out. Why? You can’t sell me anything particularly original and/or innovative about it. Sure, it might get a few laughs, and we all have our opinions on Steve Carell, but to say this is a movie you just can’t wait to see? Honestly? That’s like claiming to be excited for “American’s Got Talent” to come on. “To me, religion is like Paul Rudd. I see the appeal and I would never take it away from anyone, but I would also never stand in line for it.” That quote comes from Jeff on “Community” and it couldn’t be any more true. Maybe if “I Love You, Man” didn’t suck half as much as it did, I would be more inclined to be excited for such a movie, but really, have you ever seen a movie Mr. Rudd stars in that is exceptionally good in any aspect? Didn’t think so. Still, Carell is charming in his own right, and seeing him do the immense amount of press he’s done for this movie makes me want to support him in some odd way. Can’t imagine not waiting for the DVD, though. Movies are expensive these days.
Charlie St. Cloud
“It’s like his brother dies, and he likes to play baseball or something.” That’s what my roommate said when I asked why Zac (without a K or an H) Efron was on the television we were watching. It’s intriguing to me that he’s still getting as much work as he’s getting. It’s clear he wants to be taken seriously, or, at the very least, more than just a mere Disney Channel alum. But “17 Again” seemed too Disney for someone who wants to expand his horizons. That said, I admit I have yet to see “Me And Orson Wells,” a movie the kid reportedly shows some chops in here and there. But why is he so eager to be taken seriously? He’s only 22. That’s young. Besides, he should know by now that the best way to do that is to go away for a little while (three to five years), come back with a crazy-good film that earns rave reviews, and begin Act II of a career that people once dismissed as impossible. For his sake, I hope he eventually takes that advice. Until then, we will be subjected to such movies regarding a kid’s dead brother who likes to play baseball. Or something.

Salt
How convenient. A movie about a female Russian spy hits theaters right after…a female Russian spy stirs up controversy in the good, old U.S.A. Saw the extended trailer for this before “Inception” earlier this week, and to be honest, it brought the movie from “no way I’ll ever, ever see this” status to “well, if it’s a Sunday afternoon, and there’s nothing on, and TNT happens to be the only channel to come in clearly on my television, I’ll give it a shot” status. Angelina Jolie looks oddly good in these previews, though, right? Sure, blonde isn’t quite her color, but how sexy does she look in that jet black hair? And I don’t even like jet black hair. Plus, she seemed to have dropped 15 pounds for this role, bringing her total weight to somewhere around 62. This seems interesting enough, and for people who love spy and/or action movies, why not give this a shot? After all, “Wanted” wasn’t really all that bad, right?
Ramona and Beezus
Because there is absolutely nothing else coming out this weekend, we take this, a film starring the not-so-kid-anymore actress Selena Gomez in a family comedy that is sure to rake in 10s of dollars over its opening weekend. Fun fact: Did you know she was once in the Barney show? I didn’t. That sure earns her a boatload of cool points, though. I came across an interview with her promoting the film this week, and both her and the subsequent host were absolutely gushing over the little girl who shares the spotlight with the Disney star. Could this be a new Abigail Breslin on our hands? Highly unlikely. Still, though, Ms. Gomez celebrated her 18th birthday this week, so if you own kids, and you want to go to the movie theater, why not give the star your hard earned money, if nothing else, because she made it to 18 without having to check into rehab. Now if I could only find out why her Wikipedia page as the band Forever The Sickest Kids listed as an “Associated Act.”

It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Despicable Me
Steve Carell. Jason Segel. Russell Brand. Will Arnett. Jack McBrayer. Mindy Kaling. Kristen Wiig. Miranda Cosgrove. Julie Andrews. Yes, a lot of people’s voices appear in this. You want to know something about this movie? Aside from the part when one of the kids asks the big guy if the cheek noise she’s making classifies as an “annoying sound,” there isn’t a part in any trailer I’ve seen that makes me laugh. And I like all of those aforementioned people. They seem to be trumping the fact that you can see this particular film in 3D as though there are no other movies that have succumbed to the 3D tag in recent months. IIIII don’t know (that was supposed to be said in a voice featuring a sigh, in case if you didn’t get it by the use of the five “I’s). Don’t like cartoons. Don’t care about 3D. And Steve Carell has kind of worn out his welcome, don’t you think? But hey, it’s July, and sometimes these movies strike a nerve. Venture to the theater at your own peril.
The Kids Are All Right
Now this. Finally, after a few weeks of being forced to write about movies I won’t even sit through on a sick Sunday afternoon in the middle of winter as they appear on USA, I finally come to something that looks promising. Mark Ruffalo might be my favorite non A-List actor in the world. “The Brothers Bloom” was brilliant. “Zodiac” was excellent. Hell. He even made “Shutter Island” watchable. Combine him with a goofy-ish storyline, a couple kids I know nothing about (though one, I hear, I should love), and Julianne Moore (who was brilliant on this last season of “30 Rock”), and what you have is a recipe for a July surprise that is sure to entertain during the dog days of bad movies or, well, the summer. It’s only out in seven theaters this weekend, so if you happen to be near one, feel free to leave a message or two concerning it living up to the hype or not. Sure, I may have to wait for Netflix, but in a July filled with vampires and cartoons, this is the first flick to instill some movie hope into my soul this summer. And that’s always a great feeling, you know.

It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Wow, this is a bad week for this segment. All right. So two movies, and neither of which are actually released on Friday. This particular film hit theaters Wednesday. I've never read a page of these books, nor have I seen a second of any of these films. And yes, even when they inevitably hit USA or TNT, I will still not take the time to give any of this a shot. Why? Well, aside from the usual, typical ignorance that the people who refuse to give these movies a chance always behold, I'm simply too old. If I wanted to watch a movie about high school love, I'd watch "Superbad." Vampires kind of creep me out, anyways. So do werewolves. The other issue? I can't bring myself to root for any of these kids. Kristen Stewart has that annoying sad look on her face constantly. Come on, hunny. You're a star! Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend seems too frat boy/kid-ish to take seriously. And the English dude was in "Remember Me." But hey, who am I? The movie made $71 million dollars in one night and is sure to make trillions more. The kids love it, and they, as we all know, are all right.
The Last Airbender
Hey, did you know Jesse McCartney was originally supposed to be in this? Remember him? Anyways, no one (and I mean no one) is giving this movie a good review. This was supposed to be a bit of a blockbuster, but splitting time on its opening weekend with the latest "Twilight" movie can only mean bad things for a movie that features the word "Avatar" at least 6,000 times throughout its wikipedia entry. Considering it's the Fourth of July weekend, it would be hard to imagine this having a good opening weekend (a weekend, which, by the way, began early for this movie as it was released on Thursday). But let's be honest, friends. Nobody not already struck by the vampire bug is going to the movie theater this weekend. Not that we like to root for things to fail around here, but how about we get a lackluster debut weekend so this film can be out of theaters by the time "Inception" opens. Now that sounds like a plan.

That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Grown Ups
Every single time I see Kevin James hold on to the rope, slam into the tree and fall through branches and bushes head over feet, I just can't help but laugh. This can't be good, right? Way too many people that have done way too many entertaining things in their respective careers for this to work out. I've never seen a thing that Rob Schneider has been in that I've enjoyed. Couldn't they replace him with someone like Ted Danson? Now that would have been funny. In any case, this is the only real wide release this week that comes out Friday because for reasons that are above my pay grade, movies are now being released on Wednesdays, too (see below). Nobody wants to be in a theater during the first official weekend of the summer, so it's hard to think anyone will pick this over a second viewing of "Toy Story 3," but hey — "Funny People" did pretty well last summer, didn't it?
Knight And Day
Oh, snap! Muse is playing during the trailer! Yeah. What's up with these action romantic comedies? And even more so, what's up with Cameron Diaz not making good movies anymore? Tom Cruise gets a lifetime pass for the brilliant "Tropic Thunder," but I can't imagine this movie being anything worth seeing. And as I pointed out up top, why is this the first of many movies that are due out on a Wednesday this summer? Is this standard practice during June, July and August? I mean, goodness. I'm writing about it, and you've already had two days to see it (reviews go in the comments section, thank you). The most redeeming quality of this film? There's a Peter Sarsgard sighting! That's two exclamation points in one post. Still haven't seen "An Education?" How about "Shattered Glass?" Piece of advice. Save that money you'd be spending from making a trip to the theater this weekend for a summer vacation and rent one of those two movies. Promise either one will be better than this. Pinky-promise.

Double Feature: Toy Story 3 & Cyrus
Each Friday, we will offer up two movies that are scheduled to be released within the accompanying weekend. We know, we know. It’s hard to come across blogs who ever actually get movie talk right. That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Toy Story 3
So everybody likes this movie, eh? Good. Though I shunned movies for the first couple decades of my life, I made it a point to check out the original "Toy Story" back when I was three months old, and even then, as a three-month-old dude, I remember enjoying it quite a bit. That said, I can't imagine this will be a movie I end up seeing this weekend, simply because of the cartoon aspect. Call me a snob if you'd like, and I can't argue that. There's something about animation — however it's done — that I just can't get past. Question: Whose movie is this? Tom Hanks' or Tim Allen's? Just food for thought. From what I remember, they were both tremendous in the first installment. Minus my ignorance, this seems to be getting great reviews (as evidenced from the top link), and that, for some odd reason, makes me very happy considering the slop that has been hitting theaters in recent weeks. For once, a welcome approach to an old idea, and when you think about "The A-Team," "Robin Hood" and all the other recent remakes, this is an odd breath of fresh air. To infinity and beyond, indeed.
Cyrus
Yes, I understand this is limited this week, but it's a comedy that's actually had a ton of hype in my solitary little world. John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill. Tried real hard to hate the Dewey Cox movie, but Mr. Reilly made me a believer then and I have high hopes that he'll do much of the same now. The trailers make the film seem as though it's shot a bit like NBC Thursday night television shows, or, well, "The Office." Can that translate well into the theater? We shall see. Regardless, this movie has romance, awkwardness and all the indie feel anyone wearing a plaid shirt could ask for. Naturally, sign me up. Plus, that soft spot for Jonah Hill I previously mentioned has only grown. Still can't figure out why it's so easy for him to look like he's 12, though. Anyways, for a late June movie, this seems interesting enough to make the trip, that is if you happen to be in one of the four cities it opens in this weekend. Hey, it could be worse. You could be stuck having to watch "Jonah Hex."

Double Feature: The A-Team & The Karate Kid

That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
The A-Team
"A frenetic mildly entertaining action flick whose only distinction from other frenetic, mildly entertaining action flicks is that this one is called The A-Team." That comes directly from Rotten Tomatoes, your one-stop-shop for all things film. I like Liam Neeson. A lot actually. Even enjoy Bradley Cooper enough. And after "Valentine's Day," I have steadily grown a crush on Jessica Biel (though here she kind of jabs at what it's like to kiss Bradley Cooper, which isn't all that nice). But, come on. No way am I interested in this. I will spare the "can't we get over this whole action movie thing" speech this week, and concede that it is, in fact, summer, and these types of movies are really the only types of movies that come out around this time of year. But the A-Team? Can we please, please, please, please see something - just anything - original. What's next? A Transformers movie? Maybe a G.I. Joe flick? Oh wait...
The Karate Kid
Remember this? God, if you don't get wound up once Will Smith starts clapping in the middle of the sidewalk, check for a pulse. Really, really, really hard to believe that kid is all growed up. Even harder to think his dad would let him partake in this, yet another remake in the summer of remakes that really doesn't need to be touched ever again. It seems as though this isn't getting killed by the people who know way more about movies than I ever will, and it should be noted that Jaden Smith will forever get a pass from me because of the aforementioned roll he played in one of his father's best movies (along with the fact that "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" may just be one of the best television shows...oh...ever), but out of all the 1980s movies/conecpts to recreate, this ranks just under, well, The A-Team. Sure, the reviews might not be crushing it as much as I had anticipated, but the one constant in every scribe's opinion is that this movie lacks depth. That alone turns this particular movie-watcher away from the theater, but to those who still may be considering it, just remember the last movie Jackie Chan was in: "The Spy Next Door." Yep. Our thoughts exactly.

It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Get Him To The Greek
Well, Meredith Vieira is in this. Or at least for a few seconds, according to the trailer below. Completely understand it’s not cool to want to see this movie. Despised “Knocked Up” and “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.” Really have some inexplicable disdain for the crew this movie associates with. But there’s a soft spot in my heart for “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” and count me in the limited amount of people who tend to think Jonah Hill is funny. Add that to the fact that Diddy seemingly plays a big role here and what you have is something that I wouldn’t fight seeing. It’s like the equivalent of the John Mayer/Train tour this summer, something I recently dubbed the “nobody would ever admit to having a ticket to this” tour. It just feels like this movie should be dismissed, right? Some moments in the previews are funny, though, and while Russell Brand seems to be a bit overrated (and it’s way beyond me that they kept his character from “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” yet changed Jonah Hill’s dude), this may be a worth a watch if you feel like being indoors during a weekend in June. Yep. Highly unlikely.
Killers
Two problems with the fact that I only took up watching movies no more than two years ago. One: I feel as though I hold absolutely no grounds to pass judgment on anything movies when I talk to friends who have been watching movies their whole lives. And two: Their prejudices and judgments tend to rub off on me because of my admitted previous ignorance toward film. That said, file Katherine Heigl under the category of “someone I don’t think I’ll ever be able to root for.” All outside opinions aside, she seems as though she plays the same type of woman in every movie she happens to be in. And she keeps changing hair styles, too (note – the bangs don’t work, hunny). Seems unlikely this will do well, and at what point do you realize that Ashton Kutcher just wants to make movies without shirts? Then again, people like action, and this seems to offer a good amount of it. So who knows? Maybe the star power (?) will prevail, and people love it. Or maybe Katherine Heigl returns to “Grey’s Anatomy” by September.

Double Feature: Sex And The City 2 & Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time
Each Friday, we will offer up two movies that are scheduled to be released within the accompanying weekend. We know, we know. It’s hard to come across blogs who ever actually get movie talk right. That’s why we won’t say much. A trailer. A paragraph. And boom – all you need to know about what new movies you can take your beautiful object of affection to see this weekend. It's like going to the drive-in movie theater. Remember those? So much fun. Thank us later, not now.
Sex And The City 2
Well, there's this, this and this. It sure seems as though this is dead in the water before anyone could even utter the word "Carrie." That said (and as a full disclaimer, it should be noted that I've never seen a second of either the show or the first movie), I seem to somehow, in some warped inexplicable way, like what these pictures are about. It's complete woman-power glam at its best. The "Sex In The City" franchise is sort of like how a man would view a pay-per-view fight: It's attraction is based more upon the event's hype and the things it stands for than the actual product itself. Men hear two beefcakes are going to battle it out after eight months of talking about it, and all they want to do is grab a beer and watch, no matter the fighter, no matter the circumstance. Women hear that four high-maintenance ladies are going to parade around in the fake desert, and all they want to do is grab a new pair of shoes and watch, no matter the plot, no matter the circumstance. Two things: One, I've always wanted to get into it and would very easily watch either the show and/or movie with any woman in the world at any time. And two, this is easily the best tagline for a movie we will see all year - "Get Carried Away." While there may be some debate as to whether or not this is the best movie out this week, we can all agree that it's certainly the most fabulous. And sometimes, that's more important than anything.
Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time
For all the appeal "Sex And The City" may have to women, this seems to be the perfect anecdote for the male species. Dudes fighting with weapons, fire, explosions and the guy who at one time was the Bubble Boy. Absolutely no interest in this movie, and in fact, the notion that these kinds of films just keep seeping out each week so far this summer is kind of sickening, actually. At what point can we stop with all the fancy action medieval-like visions, and just make a movie with a point? And what's with taking everything back to hundreds of thousands of years ago, anymore, too? "Robin Hood," "Clash Of The Titans" and now this. Goodness. Enough, already. Still love Jake Gyllenhall, though, and it appears he got himself a body while filming this picture. So, good for him. Still not enough to garner any interest in this, though. Message to Hollywood: Can we be done with these, now?

MacGruber
Spoiler alert: We decided against the new Shrek film in theaters this weekend. Why? Well, I've never seen any of them, that's why. Why write about something you know nothing about? That's reserved for things like grills, music and sports, silly. Anyways, Not a single person in the world is giving this film a chance, and that's probably fair. That said, a feeling somewhere deep within my gut tells me this is going to be surprisingly funnier than expected. Don't really like Will Forte (even on "Saturday Night Live"), and Kristen Wiig becomes tiresome after too long (though if you do remember, it wasn't too long ago that this was said. Standing by that, too). But if you are stuck in search of something to see, and you have absolutely no interest in cartoons, this seems to be a film that's worth giving a shot. Or, well, you could be like the rest of mankind and wait until a Saturday afternoon sometime in 2012 to see an edited version on TNT.
Solitary Man
Yes, it's limited, but this is the first high-expectation movie of 2010 for this particular blogger. Referenced it last week when Jenna Fischer was on David Letterman's show pumping it. Don't know a thing about Michael Douglas, so this could be his time to prove something to, well, me. In any case, Danny DeVito, Jesse Eisenberg and Susan Sarandon round out this possible dream cast, so it's hard to think this movie will disappoint. Then again, this comes from someone who thought the same about "Syrianna." And we all know how that turned out. Anyways, it's limited this weekend, so with any luck it'll go nationwide within a couple weeks. If not, it'll be saved into my Netflix que before the end of the weekend. Why so hot on this, you ask? Take a look at the trailer. It speaks for itself.
