The Cinema for 10/24/08: The Asinine High School Musical Hits The Big Screen. Ugggggggggh

The always excellent columnist Elizabeth Weizman of the New York Daily News gets it perfectly right with her title to her review of this movie:

'High School Musical 3' is reliably cheesy

It is only for the kids, and that's it. Hopefully, this movie won't have another installment on the big screen. It just needs to stay happily cheesy at happily cheesy Disney, where it belongs.

And speaking of staying put, why in the hell is there another "Saw" movie out? There's already five of these things.

Goodness gracious.

Again, the excellent Weizman sums up how terrible the fifth installment is:

It's time to acknowledge that killing off your lead is a major tactical error in an ongoing franchise. Next October, the filmmakers either need to figure out a way to bring Bell back for real, or stop torturing fans with promises they never deliver.

And seriously, has Meagan Good ever been in a good movie.

Seriously?

Talk about not representing your last name well.

Finally, Anne Hathaway has just undercut her tremendous performance in "Rachel Getting Married", to then be apart of the poor (from most critics perspective) "Passengers?"

Three not so good new movies out this week. Save your money, unless you are going to see "W" again.

Fin!

Some critics are stunned that Hathaway would be in a movie so good as "Rachel Getting Married", and then turn around and be in one as bad as "Passengers." And let's not forget "Get Smart" either
