I would spend more day talking about the movies opening that weekend, of which there are - surprisingly - two I actually want to see, but I have to work every day but Sunday so will only be seeing one theater movie anyway (yes, laboring on Labor Day, but it means time-and-a-half, so I’ll take it.)

Were I not stuck toiling for the man (and, Sunday evening, drafting my fantasy football team), I’d definitely be seeing both “Hamlet 2″ and “Traitor.”

I was already pretty psyched for “Hamlet 2″ considering - in small doses at least - I find Steve Coogan to be a very funny guy, but I became thoroughly sold when I found it was written and directed by Andrew Fleming and “South Park” vet Pam Brady. It may not be a classic comedy, but Fleming’s flick “Dick,” starring Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams as two ultra-ditsy teens who supposedly uncovered the Watergate scandal, is surprisingly funny. And even

better, Brady shared writing credit with Trey Parker and Matt Stone for “South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut,” so the songs in “Hamlet 2″ should be as fun as they are simply outrageous.

As for “Traitor,” it sounds like a pretty standard thriller, but I’ll see just about anything with Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce (though I can’t really see myself checking into the “Hotel for Dogs” with Cheadle next year.) So I’ll probably see “Hamlet 2″ Sunday and save “Traitor” to savor next weekend.

In the meantime, here - courtesy of CNN - is a clip of Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks in Oliver Stone’s W. No matter how poor that flick really turns out to be when it drops Oct. 29 or so, I can tell that Brolin and Banks will be fun to see as America’s reigning couple. Enjoy, and have a perfectly pleasant Labor Day weekend.
