Sorry I'm late...

Last week I was too busy packing for my weekend at the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and I didn't post my recommendation for what movies to go see. For the record, it would've been The Brothers Grimm - which I did catch and which was marvelous.

This weekend I am also late, but I will be recommending at least The Transporter 2 - C:2, E5, A2, M-3/+1, TN. The plot is like swiss cheese - thin and full of holes - but it somehow manages to support a mountain of whipped cream that is the incredible fighting and driving action powered by Jason Statham and his tough jawline.

Let's see what else is out there this weekend...

A Sound of Thunder: C:2, E3, A2, M-0/+2, TN, Go See It? No.

Based on a Ray Bradbury short story about a man who goes back in time on a dinosaur hunting gig and ends up screwing up history - good story, bad adaptation. Probably will get people thinking about the nature of time and that's always a good physics object lesson, but not much else worthwhile here. sorry.

Underclassman: C:1, E2, A1, M-1/+0, TN, Go See It? No.

This should be one of those movies that my readers don't even have to think about anymore - anything that is done in this movie has been done better by Kindergarten Cop, Beverly Hills Cop, anything else ending in "cop" or starring someone funny as a cop. Cop goes undercover in a school. Wow. Whoever thought that one up seriously must've eaten their WHEATIES that morning. What a waste of good film.

Well that's it for this weekend. Next week I start school (as a teacher) - maybe this will put me in touch better with what the "cool kids" are watching. So I can tell you to avoid it.
