The Cinema for 1/9/09: 2 You Can Certainly Do Without

In the first Cinema thread for 2009, we are hit again with more poor movies than quality ones.

With just two atrocious releases on the second Friday in 2009, you maybe better off seeing "Milk" or "Frost Nixon" for the first time (or second, third, or heck, fourth time) instead of either "The Others" (will Meagan Good ever been any movie that is, well, good) and "Bride Wars" (for one quality actress, Anne Hathaway continues to put herself in a lot of junk).

Maybe the only thing even remotely positive about getting "The Others" on bootleg (or by viewing it by other means) is the fact that The Wire's Idris Elba (aka Stringer Bell) is in the film. Obvious, his presence won't make the film better. Nevertheless, he deserves the fill shoutout.

Fin.

The Cinema For 8/20/10: Only The Nanny Serves The Good Stuff This Week

It's Friday, that means it's "The Cinema" time: Without a doubt, the best movie this week is the enjoyable Emma Thompson improving on the first version of Nanny McPhee with "Nanny McPhee Returns!" It is another delight for the kids and adults from a class actress in a fun role. Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel hopes there is another return for this nanny : But this is a most welcome return, a sequel that rises from the “world of poo” of its setting and tickles and warms the heart. Let’s hope Nanny McPhee is “deployed” again, and soon. Another movie out this week is Piranha 3-D, which has been made as a scary fun spoof to Jaws. The one thing people may agree on with this one is, at least this shows the power of 3-D. From Mr. Moore yet again: Nubile “Playboy” bunnies do an underwater ballet pas de deux in 3D. “Piranha 3D” sells itself. It’s not as scary as it needs to be or as clever as it thinks it is, but the new 3D version of “Piranha” is at lea
