Movies ... yay

I haven't been to a movie in a while. It's too expensive and they usually suck. Well, they've gotten worse as I've gotten older, that is. I don't know if it's that I've gotten pickier or that movies just aren't as good any more. Probably a little of both.

Anyway, two movies I'm looking forward to come out Friday: "Burn After Reading" and "Righteous Kill."

"Burn After Reading" is Coen Brothers, which means it's guaranteed to be greatness. My two favorite movies of all-time are both Coen Brothers movies - (1)"O Brother Where Art Thou," and (2) "The Big Lebowski." There are plenty other great Coen classics, too: "Fargo," "No Country for Old Men," "Raising Arizona," "Ladykillers."

"Righteous Kill" is a cop movie with DeNiro and Pacino. I've never been a huge fan of either, but if I had to pick one, I guess I'm a Pacino guy. Pacino was the only reason why "Scarface" was watchable, and he's great in "Serpico." Don't get me wrong, they're both great actors; it's just that liking them is such a big cliche that I've never really adored either one.

So, Sunday evening may involve a trip to Carmike 10, a large bag of popcorn, and a large Coke.

That's all I got.
