2/20/09 Weekend Movie Releases
Friday the 13th was huge last weekend. The film was created with just $19m and earned more than $40m over the three day weekend. Look for there to be further movies involving the slasher. I wonder if this will bring in a new age of slash and gore? Hmm…
Only two wide releases are opening up this weekend, neither look great to me, but oh well.
Fired Up
Two guys who are in their thirties act in this film about two high school students who quit the football team to join a cheerleading squad. Remarkably the entire cheerleading squad is also made up of mid-twenty-year-olds who are acting to be high school students. I understand the need to have at least decent actors, but come on! A 28 and 31 year old playing 18 year olds boys? 24+ year-old females? Bleh. Why Hollywood!? Why must you always do this!? This is one of the reasons why high schoolers have such low self-esteem. STOP IT! High schoolers are not suppose to look like that!
Madea Goes to Jail
The fourth Tyler Perry film involving the character titled Madea. She has always been a little rude, a little out-there, but this time she gets herself in too much trouble and heads to jail. Of course, that isn’t what the movie is really about. It is just a side story. The real story is about a girl gone bad and a married man trying to save her, regardless of how his wife feels.
