Movie glut

2007 wound up being a year where I found myself flagging a fair number of movies as worth seeing, only to let them slide off the radar one by one (Yes Grindhouse, I'm including you here). There is a chance to redeem myself, however, in the frantic race to the finish.

Indeed, the to-watch list has built up an unfortunate backlog for the traditional cinematic onslaught between now and Christmas. I fear the only feasible solution will be expensive.

Here's where we stand:

• Lions for Lambs ⁽¹⁾ (14-Nov, **)
• Lars and the Real Girl (17-Nov, ****)
• American Gangster
• No Country for Old Men
• Beowulf ⁽²⁾
• Southland Tales
  
• The Golden Compass ⁽³⁾
• I Am Legend
• Juno
  
• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
• Charlie Wilson's War
  

Important provisos:
¹ - All Tyler's fault. Wouldn't have been on the list to begin with.
² - must be in IMAX 3D
³ - Subject to complex web of emotions related to the books being among my favouritist things in the world and not wanting to taint that experience.

Attention faithful readers: If you demand I join you in attendance at one of these films, I'll probably say yes. Even if I don't really like you all that much.

Of trivial note: I created the IMDb page for one of the above films something like five or six years ago. Seriously.
