Well, a few weeks ago, my sister went in for major surgery and I spent a lot of time at the hospital and doing other things preparing for her eventual release. She ended up there for longer than was originally anticipated. So, probably should have posted this earlier, the time normally spent working on this site went to doing that.

I was still able to get out to the theater the last couple of weeks and saw The Bank Job, which was pretty good, and Doomsday, which wasn’t. Jason Statham may yet breakout of the B-movie actioner, as he showed he could do more than just drive fast and kick-ass, although he got to kick a little ass in this too. Doomsday had the beautiful Rhona Mitra (TV’s Boston Legal, The Practice) doing her best Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) impersonation and the rest of the characters were picked right out of the clichéd villains’ catalog. It could have been so much better, especially given the notables in the cast.

Anyway, things will be getting back to normal around these parts this week, with this week’s movie post to follow and a review this Friday. Also, full reviews of the two movies mentioned above will be forthcoming, probably over the weekend.

Now, what should I go see this week?

Welcome to my new project, New Movie Friday. Every Friday a new group of movies are released for us to see at our local multiplex. Sometimes movies get put out on a Wednesday or other day due to a Holiday but mostly they come out each Friday. I will set out to see at least one of these new movies each week. Here at NewMovieFriday.com I will write about what the experience was like, whether the movie was any good or not and what looks worth going to see in the coming weeks. It should be fun.

While I may also see a film or two that has been out for a while the goal here is to see at least one new release each week for the entire year on the Friday they are released. This week I will be fixing up the site and finalizing the design with graphics, logos and such since the first Friday is only four days away. What shall I go see?
