The 5 On Friday
Written by Suzanne on May 23, 2008
The 5 On Friday topic of the week is: 5 Movies This Housewife Wants To See
1. In the number one spot we have War, Inc. starring and written by John Cusack. War, Inc. is in limited release so I’m driving out to the Landmark Theater in LA to see it on Sunday.
This is the kind of movie that won’t go mainstream unless they get enough viewers like you, so check out John’s official myspace page for more detail.
2. Iron Man, yeah I know it’s been out for awhile but did I mention I’m a housewife! I’ve got a “to do list” people and it’s more than one sticky note! I can’t wait to see this movie but War, Inc. is in limited release so go check it out at The Landmark in LA or the Angelicka in NY if your closer to the East coast!
3. Kung Fu Panda, this one isn’t out yet but the animation looks great and who doesn’t love Jack Black? Did you see him on the Nickelodean Kids Choice awards? Celebs are quickly finding out the power of the tween demographic.
4. Sex and the City, opening on the 30th. This is a must see for anyone umm, my age. Where else do we get to see over 35 year old woman being sexy, besides a Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, or Madonna concert?
5. The Incredible Hulk at number 5. As a kid I got all choked up watching the ending of The Incredilbe Hulk starring, Bill Bixby, for those of you who don’t remember this actor take a look at these retro clips from The Courtship of Eddie’s Father and The Incredible Hulk 70′s style. Ahh I’m getting teary eyed just hearing the heart wrenching theme song.

The new movie, opening June 13th, stars Ed Norton which should make the film a bit edgier than the last one. Hopefully they’ll stay true to the Marvel Comics character and storyline. I know how much comic book lovers appreciate that.

Good list! I am not a housewife, but I have mostly the same movies on my list, though The Incredible hulk would be higher.
The original series was my favorite, I could watch that show anytime, the youtube vid lead me to a great scene where the hulk hurls a grizzly bear… classic.

It is a good list. I wasn’t a huge fan of the TV series, Sex and the City, but the movie looks good. I remember tearing up many times when watching the TV series, Hulk.

Shannon- I think it’s great that Robert Downey Jr. made his big comeback. Some say he brings to Iron Man movie what Captain Jack brought to Pirates. Not sure on that one.

Love the “Five on Friday”! I like to know what interests people to see a certain movie and to hear their expectations.
