Mmm, trailers
Garth suggested that, contrary to every review I read, Sunshine was actually worth seeing. (Not really every review, I guess, since the consensus seemed to be it was great until it revealed itself as deeply flawed, and some deeply flawed movies are worth seeing.) But unfortunately today was the last day it was playing anywhere in the south bay (at least according to IMDB) and I just couldn't drag myself to see it, so I guess I'll catch the DVD.
Hopefully these movies will be some good:
- Michael Clayton, a Steven Soderbergh-produced legal thriller starring Tom Wilkinson. Plus George Clooney. ("Language including some sexual dialogue.")
- Rendition, an accused terrorist/torture thriller (?) with Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal.
- Exiled, a Hong Kong gangster film from Johnnie To. ("Strong violence and some sexual content.")
- The Kingdom, the FBI-in-Saudi-Arabia police procedural with Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman (conspicuously absent from the new trailer?) that I thought already came and went. ("Intense sequences of graphic brutal violence, and language.")
- The Darjeeling Limited, the new Wes Anderson picture starring the Wes Anderson Players. ("Language.")
- King of Kong, which was screened at California Extreme but hopefully I can catch some time. ("A brief sexual reference.")
- The Nines, this year's psycho-numero-scifi thriller. You know, like The Number 23 × The Thirteenth Floor... which happens to be 299, which can be read more than one nine. SPOOKY. ("Language, some drug use, and sexuality.")
- War, in which Jet Li's next action film is also Jason Statham's next action film. ("Sequences of strong bloody violence, sexuality/nudity and language.")
- Shoot 'Em Up, Clive Owen's next action film opposite a wild-eyed Paul Giamatti.
- Get Smart, in which Steve Carell has some big phones to fill.
- And of course this trailer that you probably already saw.

But yes, it's not about numbers.
