Ain’t nothin’ like a long weekend to jack up one’s movie-watchin’ time. After several weeks being down a quart, I found myself back on my usual pace this week. Back up to my usual weekly number, back up to seeing more new stuff than rewatches, and back up to finding myself in a theatre more than once.

That, my friends, is a good week.

Here’s what was on tap…

Screenings
COWBOYS & ALIENS – I’m still trying to get a grip on what went wrong.
HORRIBLE BOSSES – Sis-in-Law chose this as her birthday outing, and I must say that I’m rather glad she did!
WEST SIDE STORY – In stunning 70mm no less! All I needed was for the theatre to make my double-bill dream come true with MANHATTAN.

Blu-Rays/DVD’s I’ve Never Seen
TANGLED – Dear Disney: This film was beyond remarkable. Please figure out what you did right and keep doing it.
DEATH & THE MAIDEN – This was a recommendation by Andrew James. part of thinks I owe him a beer now.
FRANTIC – The Reel Insight ladies recently decried this movie. By and large, they were right to do so.

Blu-Rays/DVD’s I’ve Watched Before
THE ICE STORM – Find yourself feeling that AMERICAN BEAUTY hasn’t aged well? Watch this instead.
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN – Even better than I remembered.
FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH – Looks like I dig it more than Jess does
