HOBSON’S CHOICE :: JUNE 8
Well, I stand admonished.
I guess I over reacted to what I viewed as sexism in Knocked Up.
Audiences love it and that includes women.
Monday through Thursday, Knocked Up knocked out Pirates 3 at the box-office and would have ended up in the top spot this week had it not been for George Clooney and his Ocean’s gang.
Still Knocked Up will be second in command when totals are tallied Sunday night.
This week on DVD is the spooky ghost movie The Messengers.
Dylan McDermott and Penelope Ann Miller and their two children move to a farm house to try to rebuild their marriage and family.
The family is harbouring some dark secrets but, then again, so is their new house.
It was the scene of a murder years earlier and the ghost of the murdered child immediately contacts the new young boy who is the only one who can see him at first.
It’s really a rip off of Amityville Horror and it plays more like a Hitchock suspense thriller than a true horror flick.
It’s genuinely creepy with a few great scares.
Calgarians are fortunate indeed because the summer’s live theatre scene is off to a great start.
There’s MobHit’s exciting production of Shakespeare’s gruesome tradegy Titus Andronicus and Theatre Boom’s comic allegory Wedgie. Both are well worth checking out.
