What’s opening Friday, March 20?
This week makes for one of the better movie lineups, this spring - not that that’s saying much, but there is one that rates as an absolute must-see for me. Again, film titles go to Rotten Tomatoes entries.
Duplicity: Here’s the must-see. Writer-director Tony Gilroy follows up the outstanding Michael Clayton with this romantic caper starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts and has pulled down some very solid reviews so far, although overall word seems mixed. I don’t care, this is the movie I’ve been most looking forward to this spring.
I Love You, Man: Paul Rudd plays a guy not looking for a girl, but for a guy to be his best. man and overall best bud. One of the few so-called “bromances” not to involve Judd Apatow (although it does star two of his regulars, Rudd and Jason Segel), this movie has also gotten good buzz going. I’m a little worried though, since the last film by the director was the lame Along Came Polly.
Knowing: Nicolas Cage starts in a numerological sci-fi thriller, which I will review Friday - unfortunately.
At the arthouses
The Neon opens up Two Lovers, the “last” film starring Joaquin Phoenix (rolls eyes). Whatever. I can’t call myself all that interested because writer-director James Gray’s films never strike me as being very compelling, but this movie does have its admirers.
The Little Art opens Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino Friday, and plays Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai as part of the Black Oak Project of Central State University on Saturday.

I’m really eager to see Duplicity, but it will have to wait, as this is NCAA Basketball March Madness weekend, and next weekend is the 24 hour Sci Fi Festival in Columbus, so it will have to wait.By Kim S.

I’ll be seeing “Duplicity” some time next week - not really in the mood to go this weekend. I’m staying home to catch up on DVDs. Top of my list - “I’ve Loved You So Long”. I also recommend “Elegy” with Penelope Cruz and Ben Kingsley, if you haven’t seen it already.
