Is Forest Whitaker in this?

Opening this weekend:

  • Monsters vs. Aliens: Features Steven Colbert playing the president and a solid cast of voices so I’m sure it won’t be too hard to sit through if the droolshitters need up shutting, but it’s still not Pixar.  And the quicker this 3-D revival trend dies the better.  Why?  I dunno, I’m just a hater, y’all.
  • A Haunting in Connecticut: “Based on a true story.”  Yeah?  F yourself.  Also, why Connecticut?  Nothing interesting happens in Connecticut.  Though if I lived there, and I was trying to get a woman to shut up, I think a really good line would be, “Hey, we’re in Connecticut now: the C is silent.”
  • 12 Rounds: Renny Harlin directs John Cena in a cross between Taken and Saw.  I suspect I’d need to wear some control-top underwear to keep from prolapsing.  I picture Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham headbutting in the front row.

(Limited Release)

Bottom line: Wait for Adventureland next week.
