What's Worth Seeing?

I'm going to try to post a little section here every Wednesday after the Malco movie listings are made. I will use this little blurb to give my two cents about what's worth seeing at the cinemaplex this weekend.

Two items blip on my radar on this first weekend of March:

BLACK SNAKE MOAN:
Craig Brewer returns to the dirrty south for his much anticipated follow-up to Hustle and Flow. This time his cast is a lot better, his budget a lot bigger, and the pressure a lot heavier.
Plot: (FROM IMDB.COM) A God-fearing bluesman (Samuel L. Jackson) takes to a wild young woman (Christina Ricci) who, as a victim of childhood sexual abuse, looks everywhere for love, never quite finding it.
The movie also features Justin Timberlake.
My $.02: I think that this film has the potential to be great. Sam Jackson seems to be right back into fine form after a short detour with Snakes on a Plane, Freedom Land, and The Man. It looks like a lot of fun.
Anticipation level for this film: 7.5 (out of 10)

ZODIAC:
David Fincher. That should be enough to make your mouth water and your hand to rezach into your pockets and pull out 10 bucks to see this film. For you haters out there, Fincher is the man responsible for Se7en, Panic Room, and Fight Club. Here he takes on another serial killer; The Zodiac.
Plot: (FROM IMDB.COM) Based on the Robert Graysmith books about the real life notorious Zodiac, a serial killer who terrorized San Francisco with a string of seemingly random murders during the 1960s and 1970s.
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, and Robert Downey Jr.
My $.02: This movie should have all the right stuff to be a classic. A great director. A great leading actor. And a scary plot full of suspence and intrigue. Will it live up to it? Only time will tell, but my guess is yes!

Anticipation level for this film: 8 (out of 10)
