It’s Popcorn Friday!

Is it even worth mentioning that there are other movies opening this weekend that don’t star a green ogre? While it’s true that Shrek is the only big box office movie opening, there are a couple of other gems out that are totally worthy of the popcorn.

So let’s get this out of the way:

Popcorn Worthy: Shrek

Why: Because feeling left out makes us cry. We also have a soft spot for Shrek’s babies, Shilo, Pax and Maddox.

Popcorn Worthy: Brooklyn Rules

Why: The mafia and college go together like cake and ice cream. Also hearing Alec Baldwin lose his temper makes us all warm and fuzzy.

Watch the trailah :

Popcorn Worthy: Even Money

Why: Alec Baldwin and Kim Bassinger both have movies opening this weekend. Oh now it’s war. You thought the whole child custody thing was ugly. It’s so onnnnnnnnnnnnnn (drag out the n, you know the drill). This film stars Kim Bassinger (ew) and Danny Devito and the plot sounds a little like the Prestige meets Two For the Money meets When a Man Loves a Woman. Even Money also stars Forest Whitaker who cancels out the Kim Bassinger ew-factor which means that by default we will be there.

Watch the trailer:

Uber-Popcorn Worthy: The Wendell Baker Story

Why: We will probably see this twice and then buy the DVD and then spend the rest of our lives blissfully quoting the dialog.

Watch the trailer: loldogs: Run, Jr., run for your life.
