Movies I’m Looking Forward To….

There are several movies that have been catching my eye in the “Coming Attractions” clips showing in the theaters now. Two of which have been advertised heavily on TV, as well, and one I haven’t seen much on, but did see an extended clip at the theater on Sunday! I plan to jump on them as soon as they are at a theater near me:

Fools Gold (opening Feb 8th) is the one I am most looking forward to. It stars Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. The story sounds cute, but that isn’t the main reason it is on this list. The main reason is Matthew and Kate!!! Both are sure bets – they rarely (if ever) disappoint me. Kate (much like her mother) is adorable in everything she does! But, let’s not forget that this winning team already proved they have great on-screen chemistry in How to Lose A Guy In 10 Days!!!!! This is sure to be a winner!!!! ________________________________________________________________

Over Her Dead Body opens Feb 1st starring Eva Longoria and looks like it will be a fun couple of hours, too! I like Eva Longoria in Desperate Housewives, but the only time I saw her on the big screen was a disappointment – The Sentinel (the movie was good, but she was forgettable in it). But, I can’t help but want to give this one a try. I like those sappy movies – I’m drawn to them like a woman with PMS is drawn to chocolate!!! The trailers also bring to mind two older movies that had similar story lines – both of which I LOVED!!! Chances Are (Cybill Shepherd, Robert Downey Jr, Ryan O’Neal, Mary Stuart Masterson) and Kiss Me Goodbye (Sally Field, James Caan, Jeff Bridges) both were delights! If this is 1/2 as good as they were, it just might be worth the price of admission! (BTW – if you haven’t seen one or both of these – I recommend they be on your DVD rental list soon!)

I haven’t seen anything on TV about 88 Minutes – just the one trailer this weekend when I was at Crossroads 20! It stars Al Pacino and is a Drama/Thriller about a guy who receives threatening phone calls and messages telling him he has 88 minutes to live!!! The previews looked intense and is definitely one I want to hear more about and will probably go see. Not only cause it looks like it might be good, but also because – HEY – it’s Al Pacino!!!!! This one opens April 8th!

Watch for my reviews when I finally get to see them —- See you at the Movies!!!!
