The first National Treasure was a fun ride that pretty much anyone in the family could enjoy. Can this one recapture that magic? We will see.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story

Jud Apatow..need I say more? Everything this guy touches turns to comic gold. (I, Scott, Will be at this one opening night)

Charlie Wilson’s War

Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman..cant go wrong, right? Here is a synopsis

“Democratic Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson, who conspired with a rogue CIA operative named Gust Avrakotos to launch an operation to help the Afghan Mujahideen during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. It is based on a 2003 book of the same title by George Crile.”

Sweeney Todd

This movie WILL be amazing(if you like gothic, gory musicals). Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are pretty bankable.

Synopsis
“Sweeney Todd a.k.a Benjamin Barker returns to London after being sent away by Judge Turpin with the help of a sailor, Anthony Hope. He opens a barber shop above Mrs. Lovett’s Meat Pie Shop were she sells “the worst pies in London.” With the help of Mrs. Lovett, Todd tries to rid of all the people who have ever done him wrong and hopes to be reunited with his daughter, Joanna, who is now Judge Turpin’s ward.”

Walk Hard..Best Judd Apatow movie ever?

I have been looking forward to this movie for quite a while now, and its finally coming out this weekend. If you havent heard of this movie, let me give you this.

“Fictional musician Dewey Cox skyrockets from humble beginnings and eventually gets caught up in the fame of rock and roll. Jenna Fischer plays his backup singer and second wife, Darlene. One of the pervasive themes of the movie is the fact that he accidentally cut his brother in half at the waist when he was a child.”

Sound familiar? I hope so, if not then this movie has lost all its bearings. Think of this as the Scary Movie of Biopics. This movie takes parts from Walk the Line, Ray, and The Doors. Many people are saying this is the best Judd Apatow movie ever..but it will have to be REALLY good to beat out my Fav’s in Anchorman and the 40 Year Old Virgin.

Here are a couple of links to clips of the movie.

Dewey Cox and the Beatles (As played by Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Justin Long, and Jason Schwartzman)
