“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”
A somewhat mad scientist creates a way to turn water into to food, so whenever it rains, food falls from the sky. That can cause some problems. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” is the first kid’s movie of the fall and is inspired by the children’s book of the same name. If it does well, expect the sequel “Pickles to Pittsburgh” to hit theaters to hit theaters in no time. As with most of the recently released kid’s movies, this one is offered up in digital 3-D.
“The Informant!”
Steven Soderbergh, director of the “Ocean’s” movies, returns with his latest film, “The Informant,” starring Matt Damon. Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) decides to take down the multi-million dollar company he works for and goes to the feds with accusations of price-fixing. The feds set up Whitacre as an inside man, but it seems Whitacre is too stupid to be any kind of spy. Looks like something the Coen Brothers would do. Not that that’s a bad thing.
“Jennifer’s Body”
Diablo Cody won an Oscar a couple of years ago when she wrote “Juno.” That’s why you should like her. You should also like Kevin Costner, Cher, Whoopi Goldberg, Marisa Tomei, and Three Six Mafia. When the writers of such classic songs as “Slob On My Nob,” “ Azz & Tittiez,” and “Let’s Plan a Robbery” win an Academy Award, doesn’t that negate any kind of relevance the award once had? If you take the pregnant girl out of “Juno” and replace her with some kind of boy-eater, well, then it looks like you’ll get “Jennifer’s Body.”
“Love Happens”
Schmaltz. That’s all this is. Will Jennifer Aniston and the man that she shouldn’t be with but wants to be with end up being together? Yawn. You've seen "Love Happens" a million times, so just stay home.
Comments
You're comparing Cher to Three Six Mafia?! All of her accomplishments over the years make her one of the most important people in the world! I bet you don't even believe in life after love!
Do you ever actually watch movies, or just the trailers?
What's the fascination with Jennifer Aniston always being shoved down our throats? Has she ever carried a movie on her own? How can someone who had a nosejob be considered a role model and labeled America's Sweetheart? Doesn't anyone else notice she looks and speaks a lot like Miss Piggy? I wish Love Happens could be merged with the Dark Knight and the dude would turn into Two-Face and her character would be blown up in a building, then it may do a tenth of the business that Dark Knight did and be a success.
Freddie:
If the article is written on Friday morning, of course I haven't seen the 3-4 movies released every week. It's a weekend preview with trailer reviews. If the trailer looks bad, then the movie is probably going to be bad.
In short, don't like the articles, stop reading them.
