What to See this Weekend (11/21)
Pick of the Week:
Special
Dir. Hal Haberman Jeremy Passmore
Starring: Michael Rapaport
Michael Rapaport plays a young man who has an adverse reaction to the anti-depressants he has been prescribed and starts to believe that he is a superhero. But no one is really sure what is going on. This looks to be a funny, engaging film that is more interested in character study and what superhero mythology says about society. I’m taking this as the pick of the week. Interesting script.
Bolt
Dir. Byron Howard Chris Williams
Starring: John Travolta, Miley Cyrus, Susie Essman
Another kids movie that looks like it is sure to bore everyone over the age of 5.
Twilight
Dir. Catherine Hardwicke
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Billy Burke
Based on the best-selling novel, this is a film that attempts to turn the vampire narrative on it’s side. A loner falls for a mysterious young man who turns out to be a vampire, and he tries to not bite her while everyone else is trying to and then zzzzz….
