Vancouverite Weekender: Top picks for the Weekend September 25 - 27

Movies
The choices of new movies this week completely suck. Between a completely awful looking Dennis Quaid movie, Pandorum, a ridiculous looking Bruce WIllis movie, Surrogates, and Fame. At least Fame has Kherington from SYTYCD. Jesus, what an awful weekend of new movies. Willis' movie goes down like this "Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate cases of surrogate murder" just to give you an indication.

Do yourself a huge favor and screw all those movies and catch the
ski vacation from hell movie that features Nazi zombies in Dead Snow at Tinsletown. Nazis. I hate those guys. Oh, and you can check out Fifth Avenue's 10am movie of the week on Saturday morning which is jack Lemon in 1960's The Apartment.

Music
GM Place will rock out with Pearl Jam and Ben Harper on Friday September 25. Or you can kick it way old school and see Vancouver founders of hardcore, D.O.A., SNFU and The Jolts. For some reason I'm seeing pop-folk-singer Mason Jennings on Saturday. Both this last acts are at the Commodore Friday and Saturday respectively.

Random or Geekdom
Appy Hour. The Social Agency is doing the Mad Men of Apps kinda thing Friday at 4:00PM at The Diamond (6 Powell Street) Apps + Appies = Appy Hour. $20. I'm going so Draper on these geeks. On Sunday, Vancouver's Annual book & magazine dead tree festival, Word on the Street is happening at Library Square.
