My Response: The early buzz on Cadillac Records is fairly good. It will not be a musical biopic for the ages (like Walk the Line), but it should deliver some solid performance from Jeffrey Wright and Adrien Brody. See it if you like watching and listening to classic tunes from the 50's.

My Response: I'll kill all the anticipation and internet talk right now: Quantum of Solace is going to be my weekend suggestion. I know, I know...you're shocked. And while Daniel Craig's second Bond film doesn't look to be as awesomely cool and entertaining as his first one, it's still a can't miss movie. Look for this one to mix frantic action sequences with tense emotional scenes. Go see it and watch Bond be as awesomely cool as he can be!
