‘Better Luck’ Today:
I just caught the trailer to Better Luck Tomorrow which opens in San Francisco today. Although I can’t see how it’s all that different than Boyz in the Hood (or worse, Billionaire Boys Club with Asian teenagers instead of bratty WASP twentysomethings), the ad still paints a compelling picture. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been too excited about what’s been in theaters lately. That’s not a tragedy since I spend the downtime with Netflix and whittling away at the AFI 400 (only 171 films to go) but nothing quite beats going to the theater, even a charming-as-an-airport-lounge cineplex like AMC 1000 Van Ness.
To the movies I go…
