Film “Oh God, Oh God, We’re All Gonna Die”: This Weekend @ the Movies.

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Fri, Feb 16 at 10:00 AM

So what’s the plan this weekend, kids? Chris Cooper and Ryan Phillippe spy it up in Breach, a bunch of people off themselves in The Bridge, and some dorky kids delve into goofy fantasy/Christianity with Bridge to Terabithia.

Meanwhile, Drew Barrymore, who is super hot but has a retard for an agent, continues her downward spiral in Music and Lyrics; Will Oldham follows up the great Old Joy with the so-so The Guatemalan Handshake; and Cinema 21 shows a bunch of Oscar-nominated shorts. (Reviews for those films are here.) Oh, and also, Tyler Perry does his I-don’t-screen-films-for-critics-because-I’m-so-ridiculously-
successful-with-middle-aged-African-American-
women-moviegoers-that-I-don’t-need-mainstream-exposure thing with Daddy’s Little Girls. And: PIFF continues.

I will be going to two films this weekend: Ghost Rider, which I’m 99.99 percent sure is going to be really fucking fun, and Serenity, at the Laurelhurst, the film that I never shut up about because I love it so goddamn much. Here’s the trailer for Serenity. (Christ, I wish there was a one-song limit on music used for previews. It sounds like whoever hacked this one together [trust me, the film’s better than the trailer implies] had their iTunes on shuffle.)

I knew Serenity would get plugged here. Heh.

For those who might be wondering, yes we will be doing the charity screening again this year.

I never get tired of this flick. See you at the Laurelhurst!

Awesome, B!x. I was hoping you guys'd do that again. Been meaning to ask you about it since the last one.

Well, not to jump the gun, since we don't have things confirmed yet, but our goal this year is not just to replicate last year's sold-out 500-seat screening, but to do two of them.

Anyone who is going to Serenity this weekend might want to get there early. It's in the "shoebox" room (for lack of a better term) and it was packed Friday night.
