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.
