This Week in Movies - 10/10/08Filed Under: This Week in Movies

Not much in the way of movies this week. I suggest watching Dexter on Netflix’s Watch it Now.

In Theaters:

Quantum of Solace - This is either the latest Bond flick or a new album by your favorite group of angsty teenagers.

On Video:

Hellboy II: The Golden Army - Ron Perlman paints himself red and saws off his horns for another movie. It’s in my queue, but I’m an incredible geek.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - George Lucas continues to milk his cash cow. Or is he beating it? I can’t really tell anymore.
Beer for my Horses - Watching this movie has been proven to cause birth defects, the dead to rise from their graves, and the Apocalypse.

In Theaters Friday:

Iron Man - Jon Favreau directs Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. Is it wrong of me to hope Megan doesn’t really want to see this movie so I can see it this weekend while she’s out of town? I think I might be more excited for this one than Indiana Jones or Batman. Shocking, I know.
Made of Honor - Patrick Dempsey gets made the maid of honor after he made the mistake of being made the best friend of the girl by which he’d like to get made a man. Not to be confused with Maid in Manhattan, Maid to Order, or the thousands of other Maid variations found on IMDb

On Video Yesterday:

27 Dresses - Katherine Heigl has a lot of dresses. The End.
The Golden Compass - Nicole Kidman hangs out with a bunch of mythical creatures that hate Christianity.
How She Move - Some girl tries to dance her way out of the hood. I want to know if this ever happens in real life. Are there really underground clubs scattered across the US in which happy-go-lucky teens band together to battle with the power of dance? Seriously, I want to know.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - True story about a paralyzed editor who communicates by blinking. Supposed to be really powerful.

In Theaters Friday:

Prom Night - Someone killed a bunch of girls on prom night a while ago. Now he’s back. This is why I didn’t go to my prom … wait, yes I did. Won’t catch me at this movie though.
Street Kings - Keanu Reeves is a cop with a bad rep. Now he’s out to redeem himself. Whoa.

On Video Tuesday:

There Will Be Blood - There’s oil in them there hills. Who wants a milkshake?
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story - John C. Reilly is Dewey Cox. Add 2 hours worth of double entendre and you’ve got yourself a movie.
