Cinema Hype

I haven’t been to the theater in over three weeks. In the life of a movie blogger, that’s a long time–there’s only so much to write about, movie-wise, without actual trips to the movies. Part of the problem has been a lack of material–I recently checked the listings for a sixteen-screen multiplex near my house and found exactly one movie I could maybe have been talked into seeing (Blades of Glory). So, review-wise, there was The Host, and then there was…nothing. Now, I did miss Spider-Man 3, which is a little embarrassing after all the Cinema Hype-ing I did. I was supposed to see it opening night, but I was sick, and then the moment had passed, and word of mouth isn’t exactly inspiring me to spend $10 and nearly three hours on it.

So I’m turning over a new leaf. I’m looking forward. Forward to summer, to blockbusters and less-than-blockbusters, to having decent choices. Currently, I’m trying to track down a showing of Waitress and then waiting for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (for which I will need to find an appropriate acronym, since I will not be typing the entire thing out every time; mark my words). There will be movies, soon. There will be more movies than a reasonable person can see, and I know that. I’m just trying to pace myself, here.
