Shutter Island
I've actually never looked forward to a Scorsese movie before, but I'm kinda digging the ghost vibe here. Plus, I'm a big Emily Mortimer fan, so that's a plus, and Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kinglsey are just added bonuses.
The Final Destination
This is The Final Destination (although, we all know that although that article kind of makes it sound like it's the last of the series, you can bet that it won't be)...yes, I know it'll be awful, but I moderately enjoyed this series, despite its utter ridiculousness...
Orphan
There's something wrong with Esther...sure, it looks like a remake of the Macaulay Culkin "classic" The Good Son, but I'm itching to see this one...
I've looked forward to Shutter Island ever since I read that it was Leo and Scorsese again. Leo is quickly becoming my favorite actors and Scorsese is probably one of my favorite directors. Add Emily Mortimer into the mix and I'm in the seat. The only thing I didn't like about the trailer is that it essentially just shows the entire movie.
ReplyDeleteFinal Destination is something I'm actually looking foward to. It's something that should completely be in 3D. One complaint, same as the last: it gave too much away.
Orphan honestly looks pretty damn lame but I do like Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard a lot though.
Response:
ReplyDeleteShutter Island: I agree about Leo actually impressing as of late. I couldn't remember whether it was you or Thomas that liked Emily Mortimer, but apparently it was you...I like her quite a bit as well. I agree that the trailer reveals a little too much.
Final Destination: It'll be awful...but I'll watch it. I'd much rather watch that than My Bloody Valentine in 3D.
Orphan: The two people you listed are the reasons I really want to see this one. Unfortunately, I don't think it'll be great, but I think the trailers have been fairly decent. Plus, the fact that it's rated R probably helps this movie.
Look forward to seeing all three, even if they suck a little. See you at the movies! :-)
ReplyDeleteSheri/Tom's Mom -
ReplyDeleteI agree that none of them look spectacular, but every now and then, I just want to see unpretentious fluff! (See Drag Me To Hell for a perfect example of that.)
Nice to have met you last night, by the way! [And thanks for posting!]
Jeff you've known me since we were little :-) I see you thinking... Sheri who?, you'll figure it out.
ReplyDeleteSomeone else suggested Drag Me to Hell but I haven't seen it yet. I think I missed my chance in theaters. Looking forward to seeing Public Enemy tomorrow...don't bad mouth it till after I see it.
Oh and PS I should now post on your "they called me a dad at the most fabulous place on earth" and say you just called me a mom and I'm not lol
Sheri from Caravel! Hey, there! Sorry for the mix-up...a buddy's mom who I met for the first time last night is named Sheri and I just made an assumption.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird to me that anyone's reading this thing in the first place.
I'm seeing Public Enemies on Wednesday night (I think), so I won't bad mouth it yet...
Thanks for reading! And I'll see you around the theater...
Becky told me about your blog :-) It's kinda fun reading things you write. Learning lots of new Jeff things.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing Public Enemies Wednesday too, thank goodness! So you can say what you want about it :-)You'll be seeing me around the theatre. I've got a lot of movies to catch up on.
