Upcoming Movies

Narnia is the big movie right now, but there are plenty of other good movies that are hitting there stride, just came out or are coming out. Brokeback Mountain, starring Jake G. and Bud Marr has been widely acclaimed, is nominated for a Golden Globe, and won some big award at Cannes. It is directed by Ang Lee and is based on a Proulx short story, about two gay cowboys who have a lifelong love and (try to) keep it under wraps . She hopes to do better - and will - with Mountain after a disappointing box office performance by The Murphing News. Additionally two good movies that bear relevance to the current situation with America and the Middle East are out - Syriana and Jarhead. I am going to see Syriana tomorrow - my first movie at the theater in ages. Also coming out is Spielberg's Munich in late December. It is about the search for the assassins at the Munich Olympics in ('72?). Kevin Baba, er, Eric Bana is in that - a fine actor, as the one who hunts down the killers and in doing so wrestles....with some things.....inside. Woody Allen is also coming out with a film that is getting much worship-speak and that is Match Point. It details Bud's other romance with Pete Sampras.
