Two highly anticipated movies (in my book of highly anticipated things) are coming out nation-wide this weekend. This is an exciting time!
Into the Wild - This is the film interpretation of the Jon Krakauer's book that I reviewed a while back. Initially I wasn't too fired up about this coming out because I figured for sure the movie wouldn't do the book (a true story) justice. Well I've heard some things since that have changed my mind. I'm pumped about seeing this one, and you should be too.
Across the Universe - This is a musical featuring exclusively (so far as I know) Beatles music and takes place in the 60's. It promises to be visually stimulating and all around weird. I think I'm going to love it, and I think a lot of people are going to disagree with me. Go see it and we'll hash it out.
So there. Some movie recommendations from D.O. I felt obligated to inform the masses of this epic weekend in the movie world. If you live in Bryan/College Station, you really have no excuse for not seeing at least one of these films in the upcoming week, seeing that tickets are what? $4.00 now? Yeah, you can do it.

Lame, lame, LAME!
Bryan/College Station isn't cool enough to have either of these films showing. I'm going to Dallas this weekend... and somehow these films aren't showing there either.
I'm so mad I just used both forms of the word "either" in back to back sentences.
I just learned that Into the Wild will be in all theaters on October 19th... Still no word on Across the Universe.
I'll go ahead and add another "lame" to the comment(s) section for posting the first two (and potentially three) comments on my own blog. Lame.
You had me at $4.00.
What tha heezy? I had no idea.
When did this happen? I am not a frequent movie goer as you can tell so clearly from my previous statement.
I think you are funny.
FYI, if this is the blog that none of my friends are talking about, that's only because i live in colorado and they don't know you. and that makes me kinda cool, because it's comparative to knowing who the good musician is before they get famous... i know you before you have personalized t-shirts and your own column in some life commentary journal!
"Derrick Oliver? You mean D.O? Yeah we go way back. In fact, we once started a seasonal band called "The Christmas Unit of Family Singers! Yeah, he's cool, man!"
yeah. i was in this same dilemia last thursday as well. i was all excited because across the universe (yes exclusively beatles tunes) was coming out, so go online to figure out when i am going to see it. come to find out it's not playing c.s. ... so i look to see if it's playing in austin or houston...nope actually it's not playing in texas. it's only playing in like 8 cities in america. i really don't understand. they advertise these movies in theaters across the country but then decide to only play them in 8 cities. it's so frustrating. i could understand if i had heard about these movies through the grapevine and wanted to see them, but i didn't. i mean why would i want to see these two movies when i could go see: good luck chuck, resident evil, or sydney white.
