What’s opening Friday, April 11? Not much.
The say that August has the dog days, but then, so does April, when it comes to movies. This week’s slate is mildly interesting - at best.
Prom Night: When we last saw Brittany Snow, she showed she had talent in Hairspray. Now I’m thinking she must have inhaled too much of the stuff, since she agreed to topline a PG-13 horror flick. SO six years ago.
Smart People: This quirky indie comedy will get most of its attention because it’s Ellen Page’s follow-up to Juno, though if it does one-tenth of Juno’s box office, color me surprised. Here, she plays a female Alex Keaton young Republican type in the midst of a reunion between Sarah Jessica Parker and Dennis Quaid.
Street Kings: Keanu Reeves takes another turn playing an LA cop, who’s much more surly than the one he played in Speed. Directed by David Ayer, the writer of Training Day, and co-written by James Ellroy, author of LA Confidential. Review planned for Friday.
Hang in there, folks. Iron Man comes out in three weeks ….
