Friday Flick Picks 11/14/08

Quantum of Solace is the big opener this weekend. James Bond brings a tale of revenge and espionage to the big screen. My favorites in theaters right now are Role Models, Zach and Miri Make a Porno, Changeling, Rachel Getting Married and The Secret Life of Bees. Also worth a look, Body of Lies, Fireproof and W. The kids are eating up High School Musical 3 and Madagascar Escape 2 Africa. There's a sneak preview of the animated film Bolt (in 3D) on Saturday night. This weekend, my martini will be shaken, not stirred, I'll be at the movies!

Wanted

I've seen so many good films in the last week, and Wanted joined the list today. The bloody story of an ancient group of assassins is stylish and thrilling. And might I say, though Angelina Jolie has worked hard on the dramatic work in her career, I really like her as a bad ass. The story is interesting, the casting strong and the action sequences explosive. The designers of the action scenes did a great job with the filming, editing and style. There's a train scene near the end, that plays out like a crazy ballet of chase, gun play and thrills. Another great summer action flick, we're on a roll!
