UPCOMING REVIEWS FOR THE WEEK OF 2/28/11 - 3/6/11

Hello, folks...

Weekend funcheck: are you guys having fun? Hope so. Remember that old Japanese proverb: "We do not smile because good things happen... Good things happen because we smile..." Never forget that.

At any rate, we're right on schedule (a little early, in fact) with the posting of DEAD CALM this morning. With that, we go right into next week's review list. If you didn't guess from the slideshow posted yesterday, we are having another Hybrid Genre week.

Yup, in honor of the twin releases of TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT and THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU next weekend, we are reviewing a combo of Philip K. Dick-based sci-fi thrillers (Philip K. Dick is one of my favorite writers) and 80's party flicks ("Take Me Home Tonight" is my #1 favorite song of all time). We haven't had a Hybrid Genre week since last August... It's about time.

Please find the list below:

# 261 - BLADE RUNNER: 1982 (AKA: Quien Es Muy Macho? Harrison Ford or Rutger Hauer?)

# 262 - PAYCHECK: 2004 (AKA: Quien Es Muy Macho? Ben Affleck o Aaron Eckhart?)

# 263 - WEIRD SCIENCE: 1985 (AKA: Build Your Own Blow-Up Doll)

# 264 - WHERE THE BOYS ARE: 1984 (AKA: Where The Cocks Are)

# 265 - BACHELOR PARTY: 1984 (AKA: Men Being Men)

# 266 - THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU: 2011 (AKA: Big Brother Wants To Control Who You Date!!!)

# 267 - TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT: 2011 (AKA: Be My Little Baby!!!)











Oh, and please note that the Bonus Reviews for JUST GO WITH IT and ANOTHER YEAR will be incorporated into March's schedule. Details to follow...

Oh, and I will be posting an after-Oscar Party report tonight. It'll be a crazy one...

And once more, remember that Japanese Proverb:

"We do not smile because good things happen... Good things happen because we smile..."

Have a great Oscar Sunday, folks...

And in honor of my all-time favorite song and its namesake movie coming out next week (which I cannot wait to see), please revel in Eddie Money's brilliance. The hilariously sarcastic Topher Grace and my favorite song in one movie. Sign. Me. Up!
