BOPSY WEEKEND MOVIE PICK
It’s all about “Tropic Thunder” this weekend – who doesn’t want to see Robert Downey Jr. in black-face in this Ben Stiller war epic parody. “Mirrors” is probably going to suck balls despite starring Kiefer Sutherland. And if you, like me, have a standing weekend movie-date with your mother, perhaps you’ll want to check out Woody Allen’s latest adult comedy-drama “Vicky Christina Barcelona.”
