I'm suffering writer's block while composing my Wanted review. In the meantime, I figured I'd jot down a list of what I have even a passing desire to see. Feel free to share your reviews or what you want to watch. The only rule: NO MOCKING!
1) Brideshead Revisited - Despite its English pedicree, literay background, and the existence of Emma Thompson, I haven't run out to see this, and now it's almost gone. My friend Josee said she was having difficulty getting into the book. Still, I'm curious.
2) Death Race - My classmate Patricia and I think Jason Statham is HOT. Plot is irrelevant. I'll be seeing it for free with her Sept. 2, thanks to AMC MovieWatch rewards.
3) The House Bunny - It looks like a lesser Legally Blonde, but still cute. (That makes sense, as the screenwriters are the same.) A good girls night out or an afternoon matinee.
4) Man on Wire - A huge hit at Tribeca, a New York documentary ... why haven't I seen this yet? Well, if a certain best friend of mine didn't have such a busy life (ahem, TIM) ... seriously, we're looking at Wednesday.
5) Tell No One - The Boston Herald compared this French drama to Laura (my No. 2 all-time); the New York Times name-checked North by Northwest (another of my top 10). The only thing that's stopped me from going to Lincoln Plaza, the art theater by Central Park: As I learned while watching The Seventh Seal last weekend, I can't concentrate on subtitled films after long runs.
6) Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Woody Allen and I have a very hit-and-miss relationship, overwhelmingly in the latter category. This doesn't look like typical Woody, though, giving me some hope.

Jason Strathan IS hot, but that is still not a good reason to have "Death Race" on your list. And "House Bunny." Where is Lisa and what have you done with her?
You know, in my original draft, my last sentence to my intro was SANDRA, THIS MEANS YOU!
"Death Race" is more for my friend Patricia. As for "House Bunny," everyone needs a little light matinee fun, and I like Emma Stone (the only tolerable thing in "Superbad") and Kat Dennings (whom I liked in "Charlie Bartlett").
