This Weekend at the Movies

posted by on March 14 at 17:54 PM

This weekend at the movies we have… a lot of movies I’ve never heard of. Seriously, the only one I’ve heard anything about is Horton Hears a Who! (which looks not-so-good to me, but Megan Seling says it’s funny).

Out of the movies covered in this week’s On Screen, the only one that looks watchable to me is Funny Games. The first sentence of Annie’s review:

In an interview included on the recently released DVD of the original Funny Games, from 1997, Austrian director Michael Haneke asserts that any viewer who chooses to sit through his entire movie is sick in the head.

She goes on to not recommend the film.

So, there isn’t much in the way of movies this week. Perhaps you ought to stay home and read a book.

Fuckin' A. I had no idea this movie was being remade. It makes me feel totally dirty for comparing you to Naomi Watts this morning, annie. Yikes.

The 30 minutes of the original that I watched were absolutely the most disturbing 30 minutes I've ever spent. Why anyone would feel the need to remake their own meticulous horror show is beyond me.

Horton looks good.

But if you can, watch The Bank Job.

Now that is a great movie!
