What’s opening Friday, August 1?
The dog days of August are almost upon us, and the movies will live up to that in a BIG way this weekend.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: I already got a dig at this yesterday, so I’ll refrain for the moment, but bring some tongs when I review the film tomorrow.
Swing Vote: Have you seen ANY ads for this new Kevin Costner vehicle? I haven’t. However good or bad it may be, it’s going to get lost in the shuffle now. I would have waited a month to release it.

The Neon in Dayton brings in two new films: The new condensed version of Brideshead Revisited, starring one of our greatest corset wearers, Emma Thompson. There’s also the well reviewed The Wackness, starring the unlikely pairing of Ben Kingsley and Mary-Kate Olsen. Famke Janssen and Olivia Thirlby (Juno’s buddy) co-star.
And The Little Art plays some obscure little flick called The Dark Knight. Wonder if it’s any good.
At the Victoria
Doctor Zhivago: David Lean returns to the big screen in Dayton. Everyone start humming “Lara’s Theme” now.
