Hey All!  As promised, the Movies This Weekend will actually be out on time this week late this week!  This gives you two whole days 1.5 days (two really) to decide which of the tasty new morsels you’ll be checking out at the theatre this weekend.  Here we go!

Joe’s Weekend Outlook

We’ve got a couple films this week that have the potential to be big hits.  Some of the people at work are saying they can’t wait to see Eagle Eye, which would personally be my pick for #1 this week.  Shia knows how to make a movie, and bring people to it.  It would help to have some Megan Fox though…  My choice for #2 would be Miracle at St. Anna, because of the draw of Spike Lee.  I’ve also heard a lot of commercials touting it as the best movie of the year so far… so that might be a good indication as well. As for the other two, I hadn’t really heard too much about them, but there was a pretty positive reaction from a screening of Fireproof at the theatre last week.

All that searching and Movie Poster only had one of these posters?

Anyway, I don’t quite think we’re getting back to those really busy weekends yet, but we’re heading closer.  What do you plan to see this weekend?

Don’t wait. Guarantee your seat before you go and avoid a sold out show. Skip the box office lines and buy movie tickets at Fandango.com.
