MOVIES FOR THE WEEKEND

Never Let Me Go on Saturday.  Mark Romanek's debut film, One Hour Photo, was more-or-less brilliant, so I have high expectations (critics of taste have responded favorably as well).

Jackass 3-D and Red next week after work.  Both look like good late afternoon flicks.

From Netflix is Me and Orson Welles.  Always a fan of Dick Linklater's eclectic body of work.  If you've never seen Fast Food Nation go out and rent it/buy it right now...terrific film that not enough people have seen.

Last night I watched the underrated erotic mystery In the Cut, from director Jane Campion (The Piano, Bright Star).  Gorgeous film (d.o.p. was Dion Beebe, he of Miami Vice and Chicago fame) and one of the more sexually explicit studio movies ever made.  The Unrated Director's Cut is fairly eye-opening.  You'll definitely get a glimpse of Meg Ryan in a way you've never gotten a glimpse before...

Will never see "Jackass 3D." Ever.

"Red" looks like tons of fun. Tomorrow, definitely.

And I really wish "Never Let Me Go" would open in a huge fashion around my area.

Y no Jack-Ass? The first two were brilliant.

I never saw the first two, and I never will. Just not my cup o' tea.

"Red" was a lot of fun, though.
