Well folks we are fast approaching the weekend. Yippee!
Here in NYC, the summer came a-blazing in so this is the perfect week for the movies!
As I mentioned on my friend Ruth’s site, Flixchatter, I am in a noir-ish mood so I will probably Netflix a few titles while sitting in the air-conditioned comfort of my bedroom. There is also a TCM Party going on Sunday night at 8:00PM Eastern time. The film we will be tweeting about is Charlie Chaplin’s The Circus; be sure to look out for the #TCMParty hashtag.
For those who dare venture outside (personally still undecided myself), here are a few new films out in theaters. On the surface it looks like this is the calm before the July blockbuster storm.
ABE LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER
BRAVE
SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD
TO ROME WITH LOVE
Also if you want to get really serious, there is a documentary about sexual abuse in our armed services on release (Invisible War). It looks like if you are not in a major metro-media area, however, you will have to hunt this one down.
And lastly for country music fans, there is the feature film The Last Ride about the final days of legend Hank Williams.
So, what will YOU be watching this weekend?

I’d like to try and catch Brave in cinemas but probably won’t get to it this weekend. Also looking forward slightly to the end of the world one!

I did want to catch Abe Lincoln, but struggling finding any 2D screenings. Do not want to see it in 3D.
Brave’s not out for a month, so looks like I’m staying in tonight and might watch a classic I’ve got recorded.

You don’t want to see the wielding of a bloody axe coming at you?

Hi, iluv and company;
One day, Hollywood is going to figure out that 3-D is not going to save them.
Looking forward to ‘Brave’.
Also, ‘Sex and the Single Girl’ on TCM Saturday night.
PS: Thanks for the link love over at FlixChatter.

It’s BRAVE for me tonight, yipppeee!
Will watch ABE LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER, I know the reviews are bad and I had hoped they’d make this more tongue-in-cheek but I’m still curious to see it.

ALVH definitely has the potential to entertain. Heck, the guy who did this film is the same one who did Wanted and I was entertained by that.
ruth says
Btw, I LOVE LOVE LOVE those motion graphs of BRAVE!!
Castor says
I think I will skip all these movies, at least until they hit Netflix. I might try to catch Moonrise Kingdom but that doesn’t seem likely given that friends are all broke lol

We haven’t gotten over to the cinema yet, if we do, we’ll probably check out Brave or Seeking a Friend. Thanks so much for plugging #TCMParty! Hope to see you there 🙂
