This weekend's (and pretty much all of September's) going to be a drag. I hope we'll see at least one surprise hit. (like 50/50, which I am excited for)
Damn, I really hope Colombiana does well overseas then. Zoe has had commercial + critical success film by film. I don's want this film to end her streak.
I really enjoyed COLOMBIANA. The movie is very absurd but you don't even have time to roll your eyes at how preposterous it is b/c it's such a fast-moving thrill ride. Zoe Saldana is perfect - so lithe and elegant, but also so kickass and brutal. It got an A- from Cinemascore which is strong for an action movie. Hopefully it translates into good legs.
