OPENING THIS WEEK:
LIFE OF PI
RATED
Metaphorical novel that I thought was unfilmable. Guess I was wrong.
RED DAWN
RATED PG-13
Didn’t like it the first time, don’t like it this time. Wolverines!!!!!!
SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK
RATED R
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence in a dysfunctional romance that I can’t wait to see.
HITCHCOCK
RATED PG-13
Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren take the audience through the making of Psycho.
NOW ON SCREEN:
LINCOLN
RATED PG-13
Honest Abe gets the Spielberg treatment. I’m really looking forward to it, even though people I trust have told me it runs about 30 minutes too long and is very talky. Well, unless you’re doing the movie about his vampire battling activities, you’ve gotta admit, Abe’s life was more talky than axe-wielding.
TWILIGHT — BREAKING DAWN PART 2
RATED PG-13
Vampires and werewolves battle vampires and President Lincoln in this smash bang finale to a smash bang socko film series starring Lanky Robert Pattinson, Pouty Kristen Stewart and Ab-riffic Taylor Lautner.
NOW SHOWING:
SKYFALL
RATED PG-13
Bond is back and better than ever! (Actually, that line orginally went: “Gable is back and Garson has got him!”) Anyway, Daniel Craig is back as Bond and I love his attitude in the role. I just hope they come up with a movie to fit his style.
STILL SHOWING:
ARGO
RATED R
Based on a true story, Ben Affleck has found a new and very lucrative career after flailing about for a while. Good for him!
SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS
RATED R
Dog Nappers take the wrong dog. High violence hijinks ensue.
NOW OPEN:
FRANKENWEENIE
RATED PG
Tim Burton stretches his short subject from years ago to feature length. Hope the story can handle it.
LOOPER
RATED R
Joseph Gordon Leavitt shoots people who are sent back in time for one reason or another — it’s all easy-peasy until he confronts himself! In the person of Bruce Willis. Action! Adventure! Metaphysical hijinks ensue!
