Five new movies this weekend. Three mainstream, two independent. Which one will you see?
Where the Wild Things Are: The obvious choice for the weekend. The famous children's book makes it to the screen with Spike Jonze as director. The trailers made me cry because they were so sentimental. Also, I love Spike Jonze. Where could you go wrong? Did I mention Karen O and The Kids did the whole soundtrack?
Law Abiding Citizen: Gerard Butler plays a man turned serial killer after his wife is raped. He is arrested, but the murders keep happening. Jamie Foxx plays good cop, bad cop for the whole movie. Booorrring. The trailer was so corny and cliched that I can't understand why anybody would want to see it.
The Stepfather: A remake of the poor 1980's movie about an evil stepfather. Another boring cliche fest. If this is your thing, pursue it, but I would not recommend wasting ten dollars on this.
New York, I Love You: A series of vignettes with good actors and good directors about New York. Ah, yes. New York movies are back. I truly do love New York and hope to love this movie. The early reviews for it weren't great, but I still want to see it anyway.
Black Dynamite: Blaxploitation roars back to theaters. Hey, I'm excited! The trailer was so bad it was great and that's exactly what the early reviews said. The trend of making so-bad-it's-good movies is starting to get old, but this one seems pretty fun.
Paranormal Activity is also expanding its release by 800 theaters. If you want to see this, don't make the same mistake as me and get tickets online in advance ASAP!
