Once again, a weekend has come upon us. With a new weekend comes new movies. Here are you movies for the weekend of September 11, 2009 and my opinion whether they are worth your time viewing:
9 (Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover) When 9 (voice of Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone. Upon discovering a community of other beings like him, 9 takes the lead in an effort to strike back at the machines that control the world and are bent on exterminating most signs of life. This looks fun and kind of different. I have a bland feeling about this at the same time though. It has gotten lots of hype and if you’re into the animated dark kind of movie with a post apocalyptic feel, then perhaps 9 is your kind of movie. See it/Rent it
I Can Do Bad All By Myself (Tyler Perry, Taraji P. Henson, Adam Rodriguez) Madea (Perry) delivers three young adults who tried to rob her home to their aunt (Henson), a hard-living nightclub singer who doesn’t want the responsibility of parenting the trio. Can Madea’s influence, coupled with the arrival a handsome, industrious new tenant (Rodriguez), help April turn a corner in her life? Another dumb Tyler Perry movie. It looks a tad better than what he has come out with, but still, don’t waste your time. Skip It
Whiteout (Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Tom Skerritt) At the McMurdo Station in Antarctica, U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Beckinsale) looks to identify and capture a killer before the sun sets for six months. A suspense thriller with a mysterious killer. They tried to hype this up as a horror movie, but I say to you people that this is anything but. Rent It
Sorority Row (Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Carrie Fisher) A group of sorority girls pledge to keep mum on the accidental death of one of their sisters; after graduation, however, they find themselves stalked by a serial killer who seems bent on eliminating anyone who knows their secret. This horror remake looks kind of promising? It’s just a bunch of hot chicks in lingerie running around from a psycho killer out for revenge. Looks like I Know What You Did Last Summer to me. But I digress…it could be fun if you don’t really care about your horror and just want to see mindless violence, boobs, and gore. See It/Rent It/Skip It disclaimer: I’m sorry this one is a toss up, but most likely don’t see it if you don’t want to waste your money.
