I’m going to be honest, I don’t think I’m buying much of anything this week. There are a few movies that come out that I’ve been interested to see, but not too much.

Probably the only movie to come out this week that I’d consider buying is Lions Gate’s new 2 disc special edition release of High Noon. This is classic Gary Cooper and one of the first movies to be set in essentially real time. Grace Kelly plays his new bride, as well, and we can all do with a little more Grace Kelly in our lives.
With a suggested retail price of $13.99, the price makes it pretty much a must have.
(Interesting factoid about this film: This is Bill Clintons favorite movie and he screened it 17 times during his two terms in the White House.)

Second is Jumper. I dig Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson and Doug Liman makes, at the very least, entertaining films. Part of the reason I didn’t catch this at the theatre is that it seemed as though I was going to get exactly what I saw in the trailer without much variation. Who knows. If I had a netflix, I’d add it to my queue. But I don’t. So I’m not sure if I’ll ever see it.
The only other two films seeing DVD release today that I was half interested in seeing were The Other Boleyn Girl (Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson in the same movie? Hellooooooo Nurse) and Funny Games with Tim Roth and Naomi Watts.
Dr. Cyborg’s comments to me regarding the boring dryness of The Other Boleyn Girl kept me from it at the theatres and Funny Games actually looked more stupid the more I saw the trailer, so I didn’t bother seeing it in the theatre.
So, that’s the column for this week.

I really want to see Jumper out of curiosity, but I can just never bring myself to rent it or order it on demand… I’ll probably catch it eventually, it looks like a cool enough concept, I just haven’t heard many good things.

Ditto for me on “Jumper.” I think I can wait until the highly anticipated world television premiere on Spike in a year or so. Or even longer. The only thing that might make this robot for over some Imperial credits this week is “Fantastic Four: Season 1.” It’s the anime-influenced cartoon that’s been on Saturday mornings for a couple seasons now. While it’s nothing I really HAVE to have today, it looks okay. We’ll see how I feel when I’m in the store.

I was this close to putting fantastic four on the list but decided against it because High Noon was cooler.

Jumper was insanely retarded, not just because of this did the movie suck, but everything else sucked in it as well. Including Hayden Christensen, especially Hayden Christensen. Swank I thought you liked Star Wars, don’t you remember him, where were you when he ruined those movies? Doug Liman is a snarff.

Funny Games was disapointing. I went to see it expecting to get scared shitless but ended up waiting the entire movie for it to get better. This could be good if you didn’t know anything about the movie before you watched it. But having seen the trailer I’d already seen most of the interesting parts in the movie.
