What I'm Seeing this Weekend 6/25/10
Welcome to the weekend of uncertainty...
So I'm going to see KNIGHT & DAY today. There, I admitted it in the open. It seems like critics and general opinion is hot to hate on this movie. In two hours time, I shall be able to decide for myself.
But this is a weekend of uncertainty. JCC has taken no position on the wide openers of KNIGHT and GROWN-UPS. Despite previously proven box office stars, Tom Cruise's inconsistent box office of late and the sheer crudity/stupidity of Sandler's marketing for his latest have the distinct smell of stank - and unpredictability - to both of these movies. I know my limits - and will happily stick to my more surefire bets like riding JONAH HEX all the way down to the ground or watch our beloved A-TEAM sputter along to fully realize its 18% overvaluation.
A word on TOY STORY 3: This thing is a monster. Yes, our earliest predictions totally shortchanged it. Still, we feel comfortable at shorting it at $335, although it has not developed into the Sarah Jessica Parker stock we hoped and dreamed it could be. Still, we will take an 11% gain and $38 profit any day. We just will have to ride it out to delist, apparently, before we make believers out of the market.
So KNIGHT & DAY, GROWN-UPS (ugh), and even indie WINTER'S BONE is on the docket for this weekend (and speaking of indie, go see SOLITARY MAN starring a tour de force of lechery for Michael Douglas. Such an ugly, warts-and-all performance, it'll surely garner Mr. Zeta-Jones some Oscar talk). Enjoy the sun and stay valued, my friends.
