This Week in Movies – 6/1/09

The Robot is the ultimate tool in your peace-keeping arsenal

In Theaters:

  • The Hangover – Four friends go to Vegas for a bachelor party and wake up the next day with alcohol induced amnesia. Mike Tyson ensues.
    ~ Save to Netflix queue
  • Land of the Lost – Will Ferrel remakes a 70s camp-fest with expected results. Be sure to watch him on Man vs. Wild, Thurs. June 4 on Discovery channel.
    ~ Save to Netflix queue
  • My Life in Ruins – Nia Vardalos (Big Fat Greek) is a tour guide in Greece who is unhappy with life. I can’t tell if this is supposed to be a sequel or not. I can tell it’s going to be 2 hours of Greek-flavored poo.
    ~ Save to Netflix queue

On Video:

  • He’s Just Not that Into You – Marketed as a romantic comedy that really understands women and their woes. In reality, it’s directed by the 51-year-old married male director of such gems as License to Wed, The Beautician and the Beast, and Dunston Checks In … Oh, and Sesame Street’s Follow That Bird. That movie changed my life.
    ~ Add to Netflix queue
  • Defiance – James Bond organizes a rag-tag rebel army to fight the Nazis. Sounds like Return of the Jedi with less Ewoks.
    ~ Add to Netflix queue
  • Revolutionary Road – Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) directs Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as they battle through the struggles of marriage. Looked pretty good.

In Theaters:

  • Up – Pixars latest. That should be all you need to know about this one to get you rushing to the theater.
    ~ Save to Netflix queue
  • Drag Me to Hell – Sam Raimi’s (Spiderman, Army of Darkness) triumphant return to horror. Remember that scene in Spiderman 2 where Doc Ock attacks the doctors? Imagine that, but 2 hours long. Awesome.

On Video:

  • Sorry folks, nothing worth renting this week. Go to the theater.
