It’s yet another week with something for everyone. I’m looking forward to seeing “Sky High”. I missed out on the sneak preview of Stealth. I was told it was good. I love the commercial for “Sky High” … “So, do you wanna dance? Me neither.” Plus it has Lynda Carter.
“Must Have Dogs” has Diane Lane and Elizabeth Perkins, but I’m not sure if I see John Cusack as the romantic comedy type. The hook (for me) in the commercial was the idea that Diane Lane places an ad in the Lonely Hearts section of the classifieds and HER DAD responds. No, John Cusack does not play her dad.
From the new commercials, it “looks” as if there’s more to the plot of “Stealth” than what was indicated by the initial trailer and commercials. I get the feeling that they’re trying to humanize the AI Plane … in order to attract more viewers? It’s reviews are dangerously close to “Ecks versus Sever” territory.
Some very interesting indie films coming out this week. Most are in limited release, hopefully they’ll do well enough to swing by town for a week or two.
Looking forward to seeing “The Aristocrats” … probably the second best movie opening this week. Lynda Carter = Sky High #1.
