Anti-Fall Preview: Discover the crap
It’s the 2009 Fall Preview
It’s easy to pick out what to watch this fall. Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, maybe Jennifer’s Body or The Informant, but what about the crap you should miss? The movies that will steal your money and back-hand for it. Oh, did you just pay $50 for the babysitter? How about $30 for a small popcorn, a drink and a package of Sour Patch Kids so you could happily watch G.I. Joe while hepped up on sugar? Yeah, how did that go for you?
It is in that spirit and I provide you with the Anti-Fall Movie Preview for 2009.
Here is what you should avoid:
The Fourth Kind
Alien movies have a long and storied history. Sometimes they come on endearing terms to sell Reese’s Pieces and run from the Feds while other times they want to destroy every major city but end up getting taken down by a redneck. As if that’s not bad enough, our extra-terrestrial pals are also rumored to abduct farmers and perform experiments on their exit chute. Why this only happens to the mentally questionable and the good residents of Three Tree Trailer Town is beyond my understanding. Way beyond my understanding is why the aliens are so interested with their rears.
It’s in this spirit that The Fourth Kind, the latest anti-alien movie, starring Milla Jovovich, arrives in theaters November 6th. Jovovich plays a psychologist who videotapes her “traumatized” patients and discovers the horrible truth: aliens have indeed been abducting high-school drop-outs and, whoa, it’s about to get ugly.
It should be no shock that these shenanigans occur in beautiful Alaska. If there are shenanigans such as vampires, zombies, or the Palin’s, it’s going down in Alaska.
