It’s another long weekend up here in the Great White North, and it couldn’t have arrived at a more opportune time (Not enough tea in the world for this weary Hatter these days).
I’m pretty sure much of it will be spent catching up on movies. There’s a stack of DVD’s to be watched, and at least one trip to the theatre in store (Got a date to see WOLFMAN with Susie Q!). So all in all, expect the posts to come fast and hard over the next little while. Of course, it never hurts to continually read more and more awesome posts from my fellow bloggers to keep my craetive and competitive fires burning!
So for your reading fulfillment, I give you…
Thomas at Gatto Reels gives us a good review of a movie I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about – FISH TANK.
Ross and Ross have incited a group to argue over what will win Best Picture.
Meanwhile, Joel has seen one of the few remaining Oscar nominees in the big eight categories that I haven’t yet – here’s his reaction to THE LAST STATION.
Heather and her Movie Mobsters have gotten all mushy on us and rhymed off ten romantic songs from movie history (Though I must protest since they missed “Soldier of Love”).
Mere days after Shannon and I mentioned it in our podcast, Dan the Man reviewed HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH.
Finally, katie at The Stories That Really Matterd cites a few films to help her sort out her daddy issues (Sorry Katie – I couldn’t resist!).
Enjoy!
Great links! Love the concept.
Solid links. Can't wait to hear what you think about Wolfman… hopefully it's not as bad as the reviews would lead one to think.
Thanks for sharing my review here. I'll be sure to check in with your blog routinely.
@ Castor… I'm a big believer in the film-blogging community as a whole, and I think posts like this are the best way to keep it growing.
Glad you dig it!
@ Univarn… I'm a little worried now since it's getting abysmal reviews. Oh well – I haven't bought into a turkey in a little while now: in a way I'm due. Watch for a review on Sunday/Monday.
@ Thomas… My pleasure – I really dig reading your stuff! I'd added your blog to the ones I follow, so count on making my "E-T" posts every now and then.
Wolfman looks bad. I think I will go and see A single Man instead, it looks like the best of this weeks new releases.
Go and see Fish Tank if you get the chance, I saw it last summer, it only just missed out on my top ten of the year and beet An Education as my Movie of the Month.
I'm with Andy on Wolfman. I'm not impressed with anything I've read about Wolfman and the early trailers were awful. The new ones aren't much more exciting. Everytime I see them I just keep thinking the beginning of Wolverine and that can't be a good comparison. Besides………why the weird casting of Sir Hopkins as Benicio's daddy? Weird.
And thanks for the shoutout to the Mob gone Mushy.
I was really disappointed with Wolfman. I expected Emily Blunt to have the sense to pick better roles than that
A Single Wolf Man… surely theres a trailer mash-up of that somewhere out there?
thanks for the linkage Hatterino
@ Andy… Believe me, between WOLFMAN and A SINGLE MAN, there's no contest!
@ Heather… You're quite welcome for the shoutout, and you're also totally right about how bad THE WOLFMAN is.
@ Filmgeek… I managed to redeem Miss Blunt by seeing THE YONG VICTORIA tonight with Lady Hatter for Valentine's.
It felt like getting the bad medicine taste out of my mouth with a strawberry milkshake.
@ Ross… If there isn't, I vote you create one! Perhaps find a way to loop in A SERIOUS MAN.
lol thanks for the MadHatter! They're not MY issues, they're Hollywood's problem!
