Weekend Preview has been on hiatus the last few weeks because sometimes it gets antsy and tired on Friday afternoons. But now it’s back. Rejoice. Opening this week:
Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience
Well, we know what’ll be number one at the box office, anyway. Though they’ll always be a big number two in my heart (Too subtle?). There’s really not much I can say about the Jonas Brothers that hasn’t already been said, but I think the fact that this movie is represented by this thumbnail on Yahoo speaks volumes.
Street Fighter
Didn’t screen for critics, which is always a really good sign. Most of the reviews to hit so far are along the lines of this guy’s, who notes, “I’d rather watch my mom take a shower.” Hopefully this won’t hurt the Justin Marks legacy. The only good thing about this film is that it answers the age-old question - I wonder what Chris Klein is up to these days?
Crossing Over
Harrison Ford’s Crash clone about immigration looks terrible and the critics seem to corroborate. It’s running 12% recommended to Street Fighter’s 0% on rottentomatoes though, so I guess that’s something. Lately I think Harrison Ford may be employing the Nic Cage method of choosing scripts.
Crossing Over is another Crash clone set in the intense boiling racial melting pot cauldron of Los Angeles, where caricatures from all over the world come to get caught up in a series of sensationalistic vignettes about important social issues. Can Indiana Jones solve the immigration problem? Not if Henry Hill has anything to say about it. Who will emerge triumphant?? The viewer!*
*Not really.
