« Texas Trip Planned | Main | Sunday Stories »

OK, I'm a little late on this.  I'm going to go ahead and start at the beginning of September, because some of the movies are probably still out.

September 1 - Vanity Fair
I wasn't really planning on seeing this, but we caught it with the Siebers when we were down in Fallbrook.  It was pretty, I suppose, but there was no character that you wanted to win.  So, stuff happened, but I didn't really care about it.

September 3 - Paparazzi
This is another film that I wasn't planning on seeing, but again, in Fallbrook.  This movie was exactly the opposite of Vanity Fair.  Not pretty, but a pretty good story.  Also, it had some funny cameos, especially the one of Mel Gibson.  But, this could easily fall into the category of a renter.  The production values on the film were about what I would expect I could achieve if me and my friends ever got serious about making a movie.

September 10 - Criminal (limited)
Now we're getting into movies I haven't seen.  This may end up just being a renter for me.  It's really just a matter of whether or not Jamie and I want something to do.  The ArcLight is always fun.

September 17 - Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
When I first heard about this movie, I was pretty psyched.  However, the trailer that I keep seeing leaves something to be desired.  I'll probably see it at the theater though, because if it does anything, it's going to be in the world of visual effects, which should only be enjoyed on the big screen.  Jamie can't wait for Wimbledon, which also premieres this weekend.  Even though the main character does have an almost completely awesome name (Peter Colt), I think I'll sit that one out.

September 24 - The Forgotten
Now here's the first movie that I'm really pumped about seeing.  Jamie thinks this movie looks super-scary.  I don't think it really looks as scary as it does suspenseful.  I mean, there doesn't seem to be blood or gore involved.  It's just a matter of some people messing with other people's perception of reality, which is just my kind of movie.

October 1 - I Heart Huckabees (limited)/Ladder 49
I don't like watching John Travolta, but Joaquin Phoenix tends to make some good choices as far as roles he takes in movie.  I'm hoping that it will be good enough to get me over the John Travolta thing.  Plus, John Travolta's acting isn't obviously revolting in the trailer, so maybe he won't annoy me at all.  As for I Heart Huckabees, I like the cast.  And the idea of existential detectives is a funny one.  How seriously it's all taken will eventually decide how much I end up liking it.

October 8 - Primer (limited)
This is the film from some Baylor students that went to Sundance.  The trailer seems quite intriguing to me, so I'm there.  It had no trouble beating out Taxi in my book.

October 15 - Shall We Dance?
No, we shall not.  I make it a point to not see movies with question marks in the title.

October 22 - Alfie
I never saw the original with Michael Caine, and I like the Jude Law enough to accompany Jamie to this one.

October 29 - Ray
Every time I see the trailer for this, I get excited.  I don't know the story of Ray Charles' life, and it looks like an interesting one.  Jamie Foxx's performance looks like it is going to be outstanding, and the feel of the movie just really hits the spot for me.

I think I'll stop there and pick up with November movies as they come a little closer.
