I caught the season premiere of "Nip/Tuck" last night. While I thought it was a pretty good episode (Kathleen Turner - fantastic!) I was more enthralled with the movie trailers that were shown in lieu of commercials.
Running With Scissors
Augusten Burroughs' hilarious, skin-crawling, outrageous memoir on the big screen. I have NO idea how they were able to incorporate half of the experiences he goes through into the movie. We're talking about a boy whose mom dumps him in her shrink's care, where he drops out of school in junior high, and finds himself in situations that I won't go into because I know my grandma's reading this. It was a great book (I'm reading his third one right now) so I'l probably see this when it comes out.
The Holiday
Jack Black as a leading man in a romantic comedy. Really? I need some time to wrap my head around that.
Casino Royale (aka the reason Americans know who Daniel Craig is)
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. Not because it's a new James Bond film. I have to admit, I only saw one of the Pierce Brosnan as James Bond films, and I was never a member of the "I heart James Bond" club.
Part of me thinks it's due to some leftover do-something-just-to-be-contrary-attitude from my teenage years. I want to give the studio my money to prove to the nay-sayers that Daniel Craig can carry this franchise.
The other half of me knows that he'll bring some much needed edge to this camp-tacular character. Don't believe me? Watch "Layer Cake" and then we'll talk.
