Wow, thank goodness for Duke. He's picked up all my slack with all his game reviews lately. It much be nice to have so much free time. I think I only played like 3 games this year. Of course, with an Xbox under the tree I will have a lot of catching up to do in 2008. Expect Duke's Top Games of 07 Soon (right Duke?)
So there are quite a few movies coming out this week. Will any of them be able to stop the one-two punch of Omega Man: Will Smith and Abomination and the Chipmunks? Let's see.
87% Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barb... - Is it me (of course not) or are all of these Burton films starting look exactly the same? If you mixed clips of Todd, Edward Scissorhands, and Sleepy Hollow, would you be able to tell the difference? Burton must have fantasies of Depp in white make-up and retarded hair on a daily basis. Did I mention it's a musical? gay.

80% Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story - Another Apatow movie. That makes three this year. At first I thought releasing a slapstick faux-music doc. in the holiday season was a mistake. Then I realized that even the release date is part of the joke. As this is exactly when Ray and Walk the Line hit theaters. Let's see if Judd can pull off a hat-trick for 07 (see I know some hockey terms.)

77% Charlie Wilson's War - This movie stars Tom Hanks in it, so it has to be good. Right?
|
37% National Treasure: Book of S... - So for some reason, Disney is REALLY pushing their name on this one. It's official title is Walt Disney presents: National Treasure: Book of Secrets. I'm sure there will be plenty of scenes with Cage whispering. What happened to him? Do another Coen Brothers film buddy.

14% P.S. I Love You - P.S. I fucking hate your commercials. Now where did I put that Head On?
If you ask me, I would just skip the theaters this weekend and watch the final cut of Blade Runner on DVD. It's guaranteed to be bad ass.
Oh the glory of the overstuffed and obnoxious box set.
