Time to start planning your cinematic weekend, kiddos. Did you catch the midnight Simpsons screening? Planning an extra-long lunch to catch the glorious deliciousness that is Aaron Eckhart in No Reservations? (I think I just gave away my plans. Blast!) Does not screening in advance spell disaster for I Know Who Killed Me and Who's My Caddy? - or can they just blame Lindsay Lohan and an 'are-you-seriously-kidding-me?' plot for their imminent failure? Here's the lineup; what's the game plan? (And whether Bridgette knows it or not, she's seeing Sunshine or the Simpsons this weekend.) |

Let me cast my lot for No Reservations. If anyone is looking for a date movie for the weekend, this is it. Like our review said, it's all sort of been done before, but the players are all so enjoyable to watch that if you go for this sort of movie, you'll like it. One thing I kept thinking about when I saw it a few weeks ago is: Abagail Breslin is really good at playing a kid. Which is to say she's the opposite of all these strange, android kids who come off like pint-sized adults. When watching a movie, I like my kids to be kids, and Breslin has a stranglehold on these roles. One bit of caution though: This movie is not all happy go lucky. There is an equal chance that some of you will shed a tear as often as you laugh. Just an FYI.

Hubby and I saw No Reservations last weekend and really enjoyed it. The romance is predictable, yes, but sweet (with Catherine Zeta-Jones finally in a sympathetic role!) and Abigail Breslin grounds the froth poignantly. Just wish movies like this came with recipe books -- they leave you hungry! (Felt the same way after Waitress and Chocolat)...Hey, we should do a round-up of our favorite foodie movies sometime, share it with the Eats blog!
