I'm bustin' out of this one horse town this weekend to go to Calgary (a six or seven horse town at least!) to see Oasis and Ryan Adams live! So instead of a movie review this weekend --- I'd love to share some awesome news from the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon!

Dir: Peter Cattaneo Stars: Rainn Wilson, Christina Applegate, Teddy Geiger, Emma Stone
Synopsis: A failed drummer is given a second chance at fame.
Here is a great concept that is ruined by a wholly unoriginal treatment. The Rocker should have been a fun send up of loud and sweaty rock n' roll, but instead it comes off as a bland colour-by-numbers snoozefest.

Dir: Ben Stiller Stars: Ben Stiller, Robert Downey, Jr, Jack Black
Synopsis: Through a series of freak occurences, a group of actors shooting a big budget war movie are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying.

Here he is, the REAL Dark Knight...


Dir: David Gordon Green Stars: Seth Rogan, James Franco, Danny McBride
Synopsis: A stoner and his dealer are forced to go on the run after he witnesses a cop and another drug dealer committing a murder.
The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon Emperor --- reviewed by Craig the Movie Geek
August 5th, 2008

Dir: Rob Cohen Stars: Brendon Fraser, Maria Bello, Jet Li
Synopsis: In the far East, trouble-seeking father and son duo Rick and Alex O'Connell unearth the mummy of the Emperor of Qin, a shapeshifting entity who was cursed by a wizard centuries before.
