New movies I want to see:
A Scanner Darkly—I am not a big PKD fan, but I have never failed to enjoy a Philip K. Dick movie adaption (Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, Paycheck).
Clerks II—Guilty pleasure. I can probably wait for this to come out on DVD, but if I get bored, I might catch it in the theater.
My Super Ex-Girlfriend—This looks bad, but it might be good.
Movies I’ve seen so far this summer:
X-Men 3—The new director did not do nearly as badly as he could have done.
An Inconvenient Truth—Definitely worth seeing. If you are unwilling to shell out a few dollars for a ticket, you can download the presentation itself.
A Prairie Home Companion—This was a really slow movie that didn’t really go anywhere.
Superman Returns—It felt like a Superman movie. That’s all I really wanted from this one.
Dead Man’s Chest—In adventure stories, the coin of the realm is strangeness. Think of the Barsoom stories.
