Movie Releases - 3/12/10

Green Zone

Matt Damon plays an American Army Officer in 2003 Iraq, searching for weapons of mass destruction. His previous 2 outings with director Paul Greengrass were quite good (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum) so this should be at least entertaining. But let's hope the politics don't get too preachy. Do we really need to be reminded what colossal cluster the build-up to the Iraq War was? Trailer here.


Remember Me

Robert Pattinson is a New York City college student feuding with his father (Pierce Brosnan) in summer 2001. He falls in love, but mostly just stands around, smoking cigarettes and giving meaningful, haunting glances to everyone around. I will definitely be checking this out at home, given one of my unhealthy obsessions. Trailer here.




She's Out of My League

Terrific supporting player Jay Baruchel (Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder) finally gets the lead role, an airport security employee who somehow starts dating a smoking hot woman (Alice Eve). Lots of bathroom humor, for sure, and it looks like one of the worst Apatow knock-offs.

Our Family Wedding

Oscar winner Forest Whitaker almost gets raped by a Viagra-fueled goat in the trailer. Carlos Mencia co-stars and the 2 have to come to terms with their kids getting married. To sum up, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker almost gets raped - T-bagged at the very least - by a Viagra-fueled goat in the trailer.

Green Zone is one of my most anticipated films of the past 18 months. Greengrass is (as you know) one of my very favorite directors and Damon is probably the one actor I would see in just about anything (except a Farrelly brothers movie).
