Whom Would You Hang With This Weekend?

Opening this weekend is Nacho Libre, a movie I’ve been anticipating for quite a while now.

In the movie, Jack Black plays Ignacio (his friends call him Nacho), a Mexican friar who moonlights as a lucha libre wrestler to raise money for his orphanage (and to impress a woman).

If the trailer was any indication, this is going to be a really fun time at the movie theater. (Nacho Libre was co-written, with School of Rock’s Mike White and Jerusha Hess, and directed by Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess, so expect irreverence and hilarious maladjustment galore.)

Slowing things down a little bit is a couple who first captivated us more than 10 years ago in Speed.

In The Lake House, Sandra Bullock plays an in independent-minded doctor who once occupied an unusual lakeside home – and who has begun exchanging love letters with its newest resident, a frustrated architect (played by Keanu Reeves).

When they discover that they are actually living two years apart, they must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary mailbox before it is too late – but for what?

The movie’s trailer had me hooked me the second I heard the hypnotic “Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane, even though it left me thinking it may turn up to be a bit too Frequency-ish.

Finally, the Sydney Pollack-helmed Sketches of Frank Gehry takes a look at the life and work of the renowned architect. The biodoc features commentary by, among others, Julian Schnabel, Dennis Hopper, Bob Geldof, Milton Wexler, and Gehry himself.

So whom will you hang with this weekend? Will it be a funny wrestler, a reunited couple, or a master architect?
