“Instead, watch…” February 27, 2009
It’s another Friday and that means new movies hit the theaters. Do you feel that you’d like to see these new movie, but find it too much of a hassle to go to theater what with ticket prices? Do you hate the new movies that are currently out and you just want to watch something better? Allow me to make some DVD Dump recommendations to please all you couch potatoes out there (no offense, couch potatoes). This time I’ve gone the extra mile in addition to recommending what to watch I have also listed what NOT to watch.
Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Film: Wow, I’ve never heard of a more base title for a film. It’s not Jonas Brothers The Experience or Journey with the Jonas Brothers; just Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Film. If you’ve never heard of them, they are the new concert idol group that’ll be a hit with the tweens for another 15 minutes. Something tells me this won’t exactly be memorable film years from now. But I do believe its going to make an unbelievable amount of money this weekend. You can bet on that and then you’ll bigger amount of money as well
Instead, watch… Rolling Stone’s Shine a Light: THIS is a concert film. The Rolling Stones are pretty awesome, but when they have a concert directed by Martin Scorcese, that just makes it perfect. This is THE live concert movie.
DO NOT WATCH… Hanna Montana in Best of Both Worlds: It’s more of the same like the Jonas Brothers concert movie and nobody should ever have to suffer watching BOTH of these movie.
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li: Another video game movie. The only difference is that this one is all about a sexy female so it has potential to succeed in the ‘hot chick’ category of action films. Other than that, nothing interesting here.
Instead, watch… Mortal Kombat: If you want to see one of the rarest forms of film, a decent video game movie, Mortal Kombat is the way to go. This movie succeeded where others do not because it has a good story and likable characters. Its not rocket science, Hollywood.
DO NOT WATCH… Street Fighter: Yep, it received a re-release in the form of a new EXTREME edition. Unless you are in the mood for a REAL dopey action movie, I would not recommend watching this movie.
