New to Theatres This Weekend: Funny People, The Collector, Thirst
Judd Apatow’s Funny People is the big release this weekend, and one a lot of people have been waiting for, although it’s hard to predict just how well it’s going to do. Apatow’s name plus Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen should equal a box office hit, but they’ve got a long way to go if they’re hoping to catch The Hangover as the biggest comedy of the year. Also in wide release this weekend is the family adventure comedy Aliens in the Attic and the The Collector, a thriller from the writers of Saw IV, V and VI. Lots of great stuff in select theatres too, including the documentaries Not Quite Hollywood and The Cove, plus Chan-wook Park’s vampire flick Thirst, unfortunately none of these movies are opening in more than 5 theatres. What will you be checking out this weekend?

Funny People? More like annoying and very unfunny!

Posted by Drew on July 31st, 2009It combines all the actors and a director I dislike very much. How is that wrong? Liking it would be wrong. The amount of times I see this commercial shows its being pushed because it is mediocre at best.
Don’t even get me started on Inglorious Basterds.
