Movies This Weekend! 11/14/08

This past weekend was definitely a busy one, and it looks like the cinemas will be making strong steps towards the holiday season.  It even feels a bit like the summer blockbuster season, with only one major release this week.  It’s that “I don’t really want to compete with that movie” week I think.  Let’s take a look:

James Bond: Quantum of Solace, Directed by Marc Foster, Rated PG-13

Taking place just hours after Casino Royale, Bond looks to avenge the death of Vesper, the woman he loved, and also the woman who betrayed him.  Fighting the urge to make his next mission not personal, Bond learns from the captured Mr. White that the organization that plotted to steal Bond’s winnings is much more dangerous and expansive than they could have imagined.  Tracking intelligence throughout the globe, Bond must try to prevent an environmental group and “The Quantum” from achieving their goal, and avenge the death of Vesper.

Joe’s Weekend Outlook

I’m imagining that it’s going to be very busy this weekend.  Will the down economy prevent Quantum from bringing in $100 million?  I’m going to say yes… however that’s not to say that it won’t be busy this weekend… you’re going to want to buy tickets in advance and show up early in order to get good seats.  From what I can see over at Rotten Tomatoes, Quantum has had pretty good reviews… which is great!

I must say that this is a short movie… less than two hours with previews, which is disappointing.  I will be sure to let you know what I think of it as soon as I see it… which should be tomorrow!

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.
