One of the nifty perks of my job is getting passes to all of the advance screenings for movies. However, that asset is looking a hell of a lot like a liability over the next couple weeks. This is the list of screenings that Tyler Durden and I have to endure:
Thursday, January 5: Casanova, Grandma’s Boy (I’m seeing the former, Tyler’s seeing the latter. I’m not sure which one drew the short straw.)
Wednesday, January 11: Last Holiday, the Queen Latifah she-thinks-she’s-dying-but-she-isn’t movie
Thursday, January 12: Tristan & Isolde, the alleged forfathers to Romeo and Juliet.
Oh, and on the horizon is “Underworld: Evolution” (we can only hope the dialogue evolved as well) and some silly Harrison Ford thriller (“Firewall”) about a software programmer that has to allow someone to steal a bunch of money or his family dies. The summer, with a “Poseidon Adventure” remake and “Mission: Impossible III” as tent pole movies, doesn’t look any better. Welcome to the suck.
