In case
you were wondering, Noah's Weekly Movie Guide didn't make an
appearance this week because only one flick, Watchmen,
actually hit theaters, and he thought it was a little
pointless to do a column like that without at least two
films to discuss. I don't blame him. Watch out
for a new entry next week!
Here's the news. Read on.
- The Rundown -
Despite being widely reported as a done deal, Judd Apatow is
not directing Ghostbusters 3.
