MOVIES FOR THE WEEKEND

Nothing in the theaters this weekend.  American Reunion screams Netflix.  I'll definitely check out Titanic 3-D, just not this weekend.

Just sent back Carnage to Netflix -- it was as good as the play.  Shipping today for delivery tomorrow is the doc Revenge of the Electric Car.

BETTER BE AWESOME

MOVIES FOR THE WEEKEND

Finally gonna check out 21 Jump Street this weekend.  Wrath of the Titans looks bright and fun -- it'll either be an HD On Demand in a few months or I'll check it out on a $6 matinee in the coming weeks.

From Netflix, if it actually shows up (late 2 days now...), is the critically acclaimed foreign film Miss Bala.

DEFINITELY

MOVIES FOR THE WEEKEND

Still need to see 21 Jump Street.  Still want to see Jeff Who Lives at Home (why can't this film open in my area?!)

From Netflix is Bill Monahan's directorial debut London Boulevard.
