Whatcha gonna watch this weekend?

Let me know what you think of Sahara.

So I finally watched Sahara the other night and I thought it was pretty good, maybe a B-. I thought the two leads were well cast and the sidekick character "Al" was well played and written. It was an action-adventure style blending Bond action with Indiana Jones adventure, even to the point a lamenting a lost hat. The plot begins with two separate threads, McConaughey's story and Cruz's story which becomes intertwined and integrated into each other a la True Lies. The movie's major weaknesses come in its predictibility (which I don't always mind) and the way in which you get the sense that Cruz's character and plot becomes increasingly tangential as the "male" plot takes it over, reminiscent of what happens with Johannsen in The Island. All in all, I liked it. Soundtrack was good, music good, but not outstanding.

I'll have to put this one on the back burner. I got two many movies on my list already. I tried to put on Stargate last night but my beautiful other half put a stop to that. I also wanted to see Hitchhikers, The Haunting, Das Boot, Lawrence of Arabia and There's something about Mary(nope, never saw it. According to a previous thread, everyone thought it was really funny). My hard, depressing life. What ever shall I do?

Thank for the mini review
