One of the things I want to do with this site is occasional film reviews. After reading the reviews–it’s currently in the low 20s over at Rotten Tomatoes!–I just don’t think I can go to the theater and see The Clone Wars. I’m a huge Star Wars fan, and after going home depressed after two of the three prequels, I’m not going to do it to myself again. I’m going to wait for the Blu-Ray, and rent it from Netflix at that.

I do plan on going to see a couple movies this weekend. The first is Tropic Thunder, Ben Stiller’s directorial follow-up to the hilarious Zoolander. The second, is Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Both are in the 80s on Rotten Tomatoes, and I’m a big fan of Woody Allen, but also Jack Black (the best part of the latest King Kong, if you ask me), Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz (Volver was awesome), Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson. I actually just watched one of my favorite Woody Allen films, Match Point, which stars the lovely Johansson. The only Woody flick I like better is The Purple Rose of Cairo.

Let’s hope that VCB ranks up there with those two films, as well as Annie Hall, Bullets Over Broadway and all Woody’s other gems. Let’s also hope that Tropic Thunder splits my side.

Also, am I crazy to think that The Dark Knight is a dark horse to win the box office one again?
