The Big Screen

Note to self: See Goodbye Lenin:
Also, the previews showed a teaser for a movie called "Goodbye Lenin" that looks interesting as well - it's about a German woman who wakes up from a coma. However, during the course of her coma, the Berlin Wall comes down and everything changes. The doctors warn her family not to expose her to anything new or exciting because it could cause more damage. So they begin an elaborate charade to make their new Westernized lives appear to be just like the Communist times they emerged from.

Sounds intriguing.

Like Paul, I recently saw Eternal Sunshine. I want to see it again before I do a review, but one is forthcoming. One of the biggest reasons that I'm glad I saw the movie in a theatre is the previews. There is an upcoming movie called The Last Shot, which looks to be hilarious. It's about a director (Matthew Broderick) trying to make a movie with a producer (Alec Baldwin) that's actually an undercover FBI agent trying to run a sting on one of the movie's financiers. Looks to be absolutely hilarious.

There was also another intriguing comedy about a Christian school. The ad was effective enough that I'd like to see the movie, but not effective enough for me to remember the title.

Sigh.
