So Many Movies, So Little Time

Sometimes Heather and I have to search for a movie to see.  We read through the list of all the movies in the Dallas area and try to locate one we're actually interested enough in to give us a reason to get dressed and leave the apartment.  In most cases there's maybe one out there, but once in a while we can't even settle for that choice.

Lo and behold, this week we are suddenly swamped with choices!  I'm not sure which one we'll wind up seeing this weekend (there's no way we'll see more than one, as Heather has a ton of math homework to do), but here are the contenders:

Grindhouse - The new Tarantino/Rodriguez two-for-the-price-of-one film.

The Hoax - A favorite story of mine I've hoped to see featured in a film for years.  Richard Gere stars in the true tale of a man who tried to write and publish a faked autobiography of Howard Hughes...a hoax which indirectly led to Watergate.

First Snow - A Guy Pearce thriller I heard good things about from a New Yorker who saw it in pre-release.

Avenue Montaigne - A French film about a woman who works among famous artists in a Paris cafe.  Probably have to wait for DVD on this one.

The Reaping - Supernatural thriller which also will probably wait for a Netflix rental, unless we have an evening to kill a month from now and nothing new has been released.

and the front runner for this weekend:

Inland Empire - David Lynch's 3-hour typical tribute to chaos and confusion.  We're both big Lynch fans, and since we can't be sure how long it will be here in Dallas, the odds are we'll fight the crowds and travel to the one Dallas location Saturday or Sunday.

Watch here for the review of whatever the heck we decide to see!
