Let’s all go to the movies

stardust.jpgJules and I went on a pseudo-date on Friday to the Parkway in Oakland to see Stardust. We didn’t eat there this time because we were too hungry to wait. We ate at our local favorite Mijori before heading over. So I only had a beer while I was there. But back to the movie. I thought it was fantastic. Here’s the trailer for those of you who have never heard of it. And I have to agree with what the LA Times had to say about it.

Floating in on an airy breeze of dreams and true love, the lively adventure-romance Stardust offers that elusive quality summer movies are supposed to possess but rarely do — total escape. - Kevin Crust, LA Times

It didn’t get great reviews all around though with a Metascore of 66. But I’m a sucker for those kinds of movies and it’s been a while since I’ve seen one. So of course on the way out of the theater I began planning for my inevitable purchase.

Another movie I want to see is 3:10 to Yuma. I think my Dad and brother liked it… I think. And I kind of feel guilty for wanting to see The Nanny Diaries (yay Scarlett Johansson), Shoot ‘Em Up, and War. And I’m sure Jules wants to see Tony Leung in Lust, Caution.

That’s it for this movie update. What are you guys watching?
