What are you seeing this weekend theatrically? (Jan/12/07)
So, what is everyone seeing theatrically this weekend?
I might see Pan's Labyrinth if it's playing in Philadelphia. None of the wide releases seem that interesting.

I just went and rewatched Casino Royale. The only other movie I want to see out of that list is Children of Men, but I probably won't be able to this weekend. Already caught Pan's Labyrinth.

I just saw "Sweet Land" which is in limited release on Wednesday and enjoyed it. It's a very subtle, low-key kind of romantic drama, very well acted and good story.
Trailer here:

I CAN'T WAIT to see Pan's Labyrinth next Friday when it opens here.

I'm trying to drag a friend or more to Pan's Labyrinth. I want to see it again as many times as I can on the big screen, but my criteria is that it must be in pursuit of a higher cause: Making all of my friends see it. Every single person I've gotten to see it loved it. I might not be the best son in the world, but I'm a good friend. 
(Do you guys think wearing my bitchin' Pan's Labyrinth Tshirt would be "too much"? Because I do, but it's tempting. I can't wear it at work because, unless I explain it to everyone that sees me, I will become known as "that Satanist guy".

Curse of the Golden Flower for me.
Don't be THAT guy, you know, the one that wears the t-shirt of the band they're going to see.

Night at the Museum, again! 
I may also try to see Primeval. I really enjoy serial killer flicks (like Se7en and such) and this looks to be in the same vein. Plus, it's apparently based on a true story.

I'm waiting for both The Queen and Labryinth...but neither are coming to Pittsburgh this week, so it's NFL Football and "24" for me.

Unfortunately, I live in a small town in Northeastern Ohio, so nothing of a "limited release" variety is playing anywhere closer than almost two hours away from me.
As such, I may catch Dreamgirls, but nothing else looks truly interesting.

I'll be seeing it at the NJ Ritz sometime on Sunday. Very excited for it.

I know. I know.I was joking ...really. I just wanted to mention the bitchin' shirt, I'm so happy with it. I really want to wear it to work, but there are a lot of people with Jesus screen savers who would think the worst. There's nothing worse than temporal and theoretical physicists when they find religion.
I almost started a YANBTST (Yet Another New Bitchin' T Shirt Thread ...pics) but I'm way more passive/aggressive than that.

I saw Alpha Dog this afternoon - decent but not great like I had hoped. I'm going to check out Arthur & The Invisibles and Primeval sometime this weekend as well. I've seen just about everything else that's out.

Hey! Wearing t-shirts to support the band is a time honored tradition. You're just saying that because you're afraid to wear a Flowery shirt in support of your movie pic. Chicken!

I ended up seeing Children of Men again.
