Hollywood plays up to the hole by releasing a bunch of movies that have no chance to competing with Spiderman 3 or Shrek 3 or Pirates 3 or any of the other original movies coming out this summer, but might squeak by for some decent results in the margins in between.
28 Weeks Later: The original 28 Days Later was one of the greatest action movies of the past 10 years. The buzz on the sequel (without any of the original's stars or director) is that it isn't nearly as good, but nonetheless I can't wait to see it.
VERDICT: See it, ASAP.
The Ex: Zach Braff, Jason Bateman and Amanda Peet star in a movie with the wicked premise of having Bateman playing a man in a wheelchair who might be faking it? Sounds fucking awesome... so why is it only opening in 1000 theaters? After Grindhouse, this marks the second major failure on the part of the Weinstein Company. Still, I'd like to see it if I get the chance.
VERDICT: See it.
Georgia Rule: Lindsey Lohan continues to piss her talents down the drain with this boring pile of shit, which is more well-known for it's disastrous on-set problems than anything regarding it's story.
VERDICT: Skip it.
Delta Farce: So Larry The Cable Guy stars in a movie about a bunch of idiots who somehow mistakenly end up being shipped to fight in Iraq, only to end up in Mexico where they fight a bunch of Mexicans, who gull durn it, look just like Iraqis? You mean there's a movie starring an idiot that features idiotic plot devices and an incredible amount of racism and hatred disguised as redneck humor? Wait, in the ads there's a bunch of gay jokes too! Amazing...
-ly bad.
VERDICT: Bitch-slap anyone you know who wants to see this movie.
