Get Smart. Why, oh why, do writers think it's cool to ruin a perfectly good action movie with an incompetent main character? (Maybe ruin is a strong word, but still?) It looks fun; I actually kind of want to see it, but mostly for The Rock putting staples in people's foreheads.
Street Kings. Would probably be interesting -- and hello, it's me, I like cop flicks, especially when we've got questions of dubious morality and ethics going -- if the main character was played by anyone but Keanu Reeves. Mark Wahlberg. Joe Flanigan. Leonardo DiCaprio. Brad Pitt, for God's sake. Oooh. Ben Browder.
Boarding Gate. Isn't it funny how the trailer and the summary have, like, nothing to do with each other? Yeah.
The Happening. Well, it's M. Night Shyamalan, so. I rather like it. I mean, I'm kind of bored with the whole, "Oh my God, we actually did this to ourselves!" thing, but I mean, still. Shyamalan.
The Forbidden Kingdom. Dude, awesome. Awesome balls of awesome. Kung fu! Fish out of water! Ancient China! Jackie Chan and Jet Li! I don't care how cheesy it is, it can't be that bad.
Diary of the Dead. You know, I rather like it. I'm not a zombie person, but I rather like this, the style of it.
The Ruins. Whee, ancient temple, ancient evil, poor, poor tourists! Also looks fairly awesome. I mean, cheesy as all get out, but kind of awesome. Note to self: Indiana Jones and/or Lara Croft and/or Daniel Jackson are useful people to have with you when you go amateur archaeologist-ing.
The Hottie and the Nottie. This is so stupid, I think every brain cell in my body spontaneously withered and died. Help! Clear! Two words: Paris. Hilton.
Prom Night. You know what? I kind of like it. And, you know, hope my prom night doesn't end up like this, but then again, we don't go to a hotel, we go up to CWU, which, okay, haunted, but not that building. Anyway, high school seniors! And terror!
Postal. *snickers*
