Blue Suburban Skies

If Not Movies, What?

If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I would go to the movies at least once a day. I know I fairly recently posted a "List of Upcoming Movies I Want to See," but I just picked up the Fall Preview issue of Premiere magazine, and a few more titles caught my eye:

*Silver City - the new John Sayles movie, starring Chris Cooper - I love him!
*Mean Creek - with the cute Culkin boy. No the other one. But I think they made this movie already. It's called Bully.
*Enduring Love - don't even really know what the plot is, but it stars Rhys Ifans (I love him!) and Samantha Morton (I love her!).
*Undertow - starring Billy Elliot's Jamie Bell as a Southern boy running away from home.
*A Very Long Engagement - WW1 story with Audrey Tautou (I love her!).
* Sideways - with Paul Giamatti and Thomas Hayden Church and lots and lots of wine.
*The Woodsman - with Kevin Bacon as a paroled child molester trying to start over. I think he'll be great in that role - and I mean that as a compliement (such as in Sleepers).
*Birth - with Nicole Kidman and the kid from that awful Godsend movie. Hey, speaking of reincarnation movies, who here has seen Chances Are with Robert Downey Jr, Cybill Shepherd, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Ryan O'Neal? I don't know why, but I have a thing for that movie. I watch it every time they show it on Channel 36.
*I (heart) Huckabees - starring all kinds of random people. Could be fun.
*The Incredibles - the latest from Pixar. Enough said.

And I see they're filming a new Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightly as Elizabeth Bennett. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Of course, I am biased, because nothing will ever please me as much as the A&E version with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth (9.2 stars on IMDb!). I am suspicious that Keira will be a little too "bad ass" for this role. But I am intrigued by the fact that Jena Malone is playing trampy youngest sister Lydia. That will be fun to see.
