Quick Picks
By Darrell Mashia
I know that when it comes right down to it, you don’t always want to read an entire article to find out if you should see a movie or not. So, with this in mind, I give you my quick picks, short, to the point reasons why you should or shouldn’t see the films that are opening this weekend. Think of it as a strategy guide for moviegoers.
The Book of Eli: C-
- Why you should see it: It’s a beautiful film that lacks depth, but has plenty of Denzel
- Why you should pass: Really? The best sidekick you could get was Meg from The Family Guy?
The Lovely Bones: F
- Why you should see it: The Spy Next Door is sold out
- Why you should pass: Easily one of the worst literary adaptations in the last ten years.
The Spy Next Door: F
- Why you should see it: The rest of the world is on fire and this theater is your only chance for help.
- Why you should pass: This film fails on every level.
