Go, Tell It on the Mountain While I Stay In and Netflix It Up

I need help selecting a movie to see. Here are my sad options.

It’s a dead horse I’m beating, but what the fish! Can we get a decent film? It’s the holidays, for Pete’s sake! No Country for Old Men* has expanded to Virginia Center Commons, so it’s time to refresh the selection at Westhampton, please! Maybe add a little Juno to the mix somewhere? How about Atonement? That thing was nominated for like a hundred Golden Globes! And the biggest slap in the face of all…Saw IV at the Byrd, in BOTH time slots. I mean, even if you didn’t laugh your way through the first Saw like some of us, how could a fourth installment be any good?

A Will Smith movie and a digitally animated remake of a cartoon from the 80s? What is this, July? I need recommendations, stat, or I’ll just have to see you guys next week at Sweeney Todd.
