Movies. Check 'em out. (Or something)

Once again, there will be no Husker Friday this week, as the Red & White are not playing tomorrow. Good news? No Husker game to stress over. Bad news? No Husker game to stress over.

Instead, I thought I'd provide you with three trailers for films that hit theaters today, two of which I recommend checking out, one of which you can probably avoid.

BLINDNESS


This film looks creepy as all get out, which is normally something I would avoid in the theater because I scare easily and tend to think about films for way too long after I see them, inducing paranoia at all the strange sounds in my house, and sometimes even nightmares. However. This was directed by Fernando Meirelles, the same guy who did City Of Men, City Of God and The Constant Gardner. That, coupled with a really enjoyable cast (Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore, Gael García Bernal), is enough for me to go see it.

GHOST TOWN



The tag for the new Ricky Gervais film reads: "He sees dead people... and they annoy him." Similarities in basic principle with Sixth Sense aside, I really think this is going to be an entirely different kind of film. I had a chance to go to a sneak peek showing on Wednesday evening, but unfortunately I had a hair appointment (and my stylist is impossible to get into, at least for Cleveland, so I didn't want to cancel).

However, as all my fellow editors can attest, I am an Office snob, and don't really watch the U.S. version. I just don't think anything they come up with can trump "Free Love On The Free Love Freeway," but that's just me. I'm sure you have a different opinion (unless you're my brother). Regardless, Gervais is comedic gold. Get into it.

MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL



All apologies to Kate Hudson and Jason Biggs (wait, who are we kidding--it was their decision to be in this movie), but anything that perpetuates the career of Dane Cook deserves to take a long walk off a short pier. Seriously. Why is this guy still popular? Probably for the same reason Bush got re-elected...
