So many movies, so little time.

I saw trailers for Pi and Frankenweenie over the weekend, while watching
Prometheus. Pi looked interesting. Frankenweenie- can you say Pet Semetary?

The Host- hmm, Puppet Masters, anyone?

Noah. Jennifer Connelly. No more needs to be said.

Anything with Adam Sandler is right out.

Also, unfortunately, saw the trailer for The Watch.

It does look as if there are some good ones coming up, though.
