Paper Heart

btw, it's refreshing to see critics praise G.I. Joe over Julie&Julia

I'll see GI Joe opening 48 hours. A Perfect Getaway depends on the reviews, but with David Twothy directing an above average cast, it has plenty of potential. I've also heard I Sell the Dead is quite amusing.

Nice to see some of our veteran members giving some insight/advice on the weeks opening movies. Maybe this ADM has turned the corner as too many in the old one had...a stick up their butt.

Anyway, some early RT. Hope they stay positive as I am excited to see a bunch of these new openings.

Coming Soon Tomatometer Percentage Movie Date
83% G.I. Joe: The Rise of … 8/7
20% Julie & Julia 8/7
100% Paper Heart 8/7

I just saw the trailer for Paper Heart for the first time. I need to see it again though, it wasn't clear if the lead girl is intended to be mentally handicapped or it was just the way that actress comes across.

I'm looking forward to The Perfect Getaway - maybe it'll be guilty pleasure silly fun. And the Meryl half of Julie and Julia which I'm not sure will be worth it overall or not.

Charlyne Yi? That's her thing.

A PERFECT GETAWAY looks like a blast. I'd like to see it.

I've lost so much interest in JULIE & JULIA. I'll be watching that on DVD.

I will likely never watch G.I. JOE.

Funny that Paper Heart comes right after 500 Days. Think Paper Heart got the love story right.
