Theater Releases for September 19th, 2008
Avast, me hearties! As I were sayin’ to me parrot t’other day, September 19th be Talk Like a Pirate Day — and, if you can remember that far back, ’twere a darned fine holiday, before the Pastafarians got to it. But sadly, Hollywood did never catch on to such a fine day — there be not one movie about pirates comin’ out this weekend! So, ’tis up to me to pirate-ify them…yaaarrgh…
Lakeview Terrace
Yaaargh…that Samuel of Jackson be one mighty bad lubber. Here he be playin’ a cop that don’t be approvin’ of interracial marriage. And since his neighbors be minglin’ and miscegenatin’, he sets out to make ‘em walk the proverbial plank. Of course, since he be the cap’n, there don’t be nuthin’ they can do. (Can’t you just hear the producer they pitched it to sayin’ “Shiver me timbers! Here there be conflict!”?)
Recommended if ye like movies about stalkers. And begad, who don’t?
Igor
Here there be monsters. Remember Frankenstein’s matey Igor? (No — not Fritz — the other one.) Well, avast, it seems that every mad scientist hath one, and they all be voiced by John Cusack! But one be rockin’ the boat — he wants to be a mad scientist himself! Yaaargh…what manner of devilry is this?
Recommended if ye liked Corpse Bride or Invader Zim
Ghost Town
Well blow me down and shiver me sails. This week, there be nuthin’ but strange, half-baked premises. In this bilge, some dentist be dyin’ on an operatin’ table during a colonoscopy. Then he be needin’ to do…somethin’. I have no idea. But I best warn ya — it be captained by David Koepp of Secret Window…
Recommended if ye been wishin’ for a sequel to Ghost Dad. (Never thought I’d be typin’ that…)
My Best Friend’s Girl
Um…yaarrgh. Here there be Dane Cook. Best chart a course far, far away, mateys.
Recommended if ye’re head be full o’ scurvy, ye’re belly be full o’ grog, and ye has an undiscriminatin’ pretty lass on ye’re arm…

Wow…this weekend looks almost as bad as the weekend that brought us BANGKOK DANGEROUS, except with even MORE blah.
Oh well, at least APPALOOSA is opening in limited release this weekend.

Okay I take that back…I’m a little interested in GHOST TOWN. Still though…this is a boring weekend.

Um…yeah. That was awesome. You have made me laugh, Mr. Harrington. Bravo.
On a more serious note, I’m surprised you put Lakeview Terrace at the top of the list…that doesn’t seem like you at all. I would have expected it to be at the bottom, somewhere in the vicinity of the Dane Cook film.

I had the same thoughts about “Ghost Town” when I saw the trailer, but it’s actually getting some pretty good reviews.

This design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.
