Opening this Weekend....
The Illusionist
Starring: Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, Jessica Biel
Tagline: Nothing is what it seems.
Plot Outline: A magician in turn-of-the-century Vienna who falls in love with a woman well above his social standing. When she becomes engaged to a prince, the magician uses his powers to win her back and undermine the stability of the royal house of Vienna.
Notes: I saw the trailer for this before World Trade Center and it looks really good. May go see it soon if I get a chance.
Snakes on a Plane
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson (duh), Julianna Marguiles, Nathan Phillips
Tagline: Relax. They're first class fliers.
Plot outline: On board a flight over the Pacific Ocean, an assassin, bent on killing a passenger who's a witness in protective custody, lets loose a crate full of deadly snakes.
Notes: The much anticipated Snakes on a Mother F*@%king Plane. I won't be reviewing this one because of my intense, irrational phobia of snakes. Looks like good times, though.
Accepted
Starring: Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Adam Herschman
Tagline: Reject rejection.
Plot outline: When a high school burnout discovers he's been rejected from every college he's applied to, he creates a fake university in order to fool his overzealous parents.
Notes: I have not heard a damn thing about this movie, but I love Justin Long's work and comedy in general.
Bon Cop, Bad Cop
Starring: Patrick Huard, Lucie Laurier, Patrice Belanger
Tagline: Shoot First Translate Later.
Plot outline: When a crime is committed on the border of Quebec and Ontario, everyone is forced to come together, whether they want to or not. As the investigation gets underway, we meet David Boucher and Martin Ward, members of their respective provincial police forces who are forced to work together. The two men couldn't be more different. In fact, the only thing they appear to have in common is that they are both cops, albeit cops with totally different styles.
Notes: Another movie I have not heard a damn thing about. Although, it's always good to see Canadian films hitting the multiplexes. Will be interesting to see how this one does. I'm not familiar with any of the actors or the director.
Predictions....I love guessing the weekend box office numbers, even though I'm wayyy off, most of the time. Here we go, Snakes on a Plane will trounce everybody for the #1 spot with roughly $37 million (give or take two million), The Illusionist may be number 2 with roughly $19 million, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby will be number 3 with roughly $17 million, World Trade Center number 4 with roughly $13-14 million and number 5, Accepted with roughly $7 million. Guess we'll see how off I was on Monday.
