UPCOMING REVIEWS FOR THE WEEK OF 8/9/10 - 8/15/10



Greetings, Earthlings... Four things:

1. Due to a shocking plot twist known as "getting in line fairly late", we didn't make it into the screening for THE EXPENDABLES. No worries. See item # 4 for new schedule.

2. Due to a shocking plot twist known as "too tired to do anything but drink," the reviews for TENEBRAE and PHENOMENA will be posted tomorrow. Would my chestnut brown peeper (see pic above) steer you wrong?

3. Due to a shocking plot twist known as "shit happens when you're making other plans," rather than assign one film review to a specific day, I will assign 7 reviews to a specific week - that way there's flexibility with posting them.

4. Having said # 3, the week of 8/9/10 - 8/15/10 will be a hybrid week that celebrates two very different genres: the action-team movie (in honor of THE EXPENDABLES) and the teen comedy (in honor of SCOTT PILGRIM). See sked below:
