It's hard to pick a choice this weekend when nothing really that great is coming out. If you're in one of 13 towns across the nation, you may be in luck, but if you're not, then you may just not go to the movies this week.
Fame-Students at an arts school work their butts off to be better than each other. It's a remake and a musical. To me, it has nothing going for it other than Bebe Neuwirth who doesn't even have a main part. High School Musical and its two sequels have already been there. Plus, Glee is on every Wednesday. Won't be seeing this one.
Surrogates-Bruce Willis plays tough cop again, but this time in a fantasy. Based on a graphic novel, the movie follows a similar plot to the failure Gamer in which a murder occurs in an alternate gaming world where people play and do what they want. Neither the box office winner nor my recommendation.
Pandorum-An alien lurks on a space ship, but this time it's directed by Paul W.S. Anderson of the Resident Evil failures, (cough, cough) I mean series. Sounds too much like Alien, but the trailer had enough cliches to pique my interest. Plus, the posters were creepy. Still, I won't be seeing this in theaters.
Capitalism: A Love Story-Michael Moore returns with a timely documentary on the ruined economy. If the title wasn't good enough for you, check out the teaser trailer for the movie on YouTube. It's amazing. This would be my choice for the weekend, but it's not playing near me. Damn.
Paranormal Activity-The highly buzzed "shaky cam" film revolving around a couple being haunted by ghosts finally releases...in 13 places. If you're lucky enough to see it, please tell me what you thought. I can't wait to see this. Please release it in New York! By the way, if you want to see it as well, they have a feature on their website where you can Demand It!, meaning that you can ask for it to be in a theater near you.
