My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done - Here we have a film I have been looking forward to for a while now. This is a collaboration of sorts from two of the great filmmakers: David Lynch (who produced) and Werner Herzog (who directed). While a producer can normally have little to do with the project itself, this one seems to have Lynch's fingerprints on it. It has hints of his style and a few of his regular cast members, combine that with Herzog's interesting use of animals, this one seems to be something worth seeing. The cast is also incredible: Michael Shannon is coming off a few great years as of late, and Willem Dafoe, Michael Pena, and Chloe Sevigny are also talents. I can't wait to see this one.

Casino Jack and the United States of Money - This documentary about Jack Abramoff and his shenanigans (I apologize, I'm not the most politically educated person) is said to be very effective and one that could potentially end up in the Oscar race for Best Documentary Feature. Even though I know very little on the subject, I still plan on checking this one out.

Just Wright - Now we go from a political documentary to a Queen Latifah comedy. While this one looks terrible, there's still a bit of appeal to me, mainly because Dwight Howard shows up in the trailer and I'm curious to see if any other NBA players make cameos. I won't go out of my way, nor make any effort to see this one, but I wouldn't mind watching it.

Letters to Juliet - This, on the other hand, I would mind seeing. I will say, this did have one of the (albeit unintentionally) most entertaining trailers I have seen in a while; I remember Carter and I in the theater almost falling out of our seats laughing at the part where the old man rides up on the horse. However, I really do not want to sit through this movie.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - And finally, we have a very expensive reason to show Jake Gyllenhaal without his shirt on for 2 hours.
