Only one more week of “meh” openings!
No, it’s not QUITE summertime yet (by Hollywood standards, anyway) so there’s one more week of take-em-or-leave-em attractions.
Baby Mama: The old Weekend Update crew at SNL, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, go all maternal when Poehler agrees to be Fey’s surrogate mom. I’ll deliver my review tomorrow.
Deception: An accountant (Ewen McGregor) is introduced to a mysterious sex club by his new lawyer friend (Jackman). But McGregor becomes the prime suspect in a woman’s disappearance and a multi-million dollar heist. Lots of talent here, so why isn’t this being screened for critics? Funny net flub of the week: the “review” on Rotten Tomatoes by Glenn Erickson links to his DVD review of Deception - the 1946 movie with Bette Davis. Whoops!
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay: I really don’t have much to say about this movie, except to ask a question: Do you have to have been stoned at least once in your life to find these guys funny?
That’s it for now. Get ready for next week when I review the movie I’m sure you’re all chomping at the BIT to see, Made of Honor, with Patrick Dempsey!
(Insert awkward pause here)
Just kidding! I’ll review the movie about the flying metal guy. In fact, I’m hearing that buzz is so strong on Iron Man that Paramount MIGHT have Thursday evening shows. I’ll keep you posted.
