Is It Just Me . . . ?

Or are movie ads all over the airwaves? I don't think I saw a single ad for an upcoming movie all summer long, and now they're everywhere. Halle Berry has a new movie out. Denzel Washington has a new movie out. Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Wahlberg, and Robert Duvall are co-starring. I already mentioned that Cate Blanchett is starring again as Elizabeth I. Tyler Perry's latest hit (so I predict) just opened. I caught a glimpse of Morgan Freeman in a movie called Gone Baby Gone. And there's a very confusing (at least from the coming attractions I saw), heavily hyped movie called Rendition. I've seen ads for every single one of these on TV.

Plus, all these movies are all opening in October or November. It makes me wonder what's coming out in December, when studios have been putting out their big guns, hoping that a late-year opening will help their films stay fresh in the minds of Oscar voters.

I already told my husband that I want to go to the movies this weekend!
