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 least as gimmicky as those fabled 3D films of yore. With all the pointless 3D cartoons and joyless 3D “”Clash of the Titans” conversions, at last here’s a picture that tosses its cookies, its coffee cups and its D-cups right in your lap.

Mediocre middle of the road, and just not memorable is the latest Jennifer Alston film "The Switch." While some liked it and thought the Josh Gordon, Will Speck directed film pass the time, Rick Roeper was none too kind with his review.

At least she was cool on Stewart last night!

Someone probably not going to feature on "The Daily Show" in the near future is Bow Wow, as the dreadful latest bad look for stereotyping black people picture "Lottery Ticket" is also out. Oh dear indeed.

And summing up all the movies this week is just the needed review from the Spill crew of arguably the worse movie of all of 2010, "Vampires Suck."

Oh was that awesome to watch for your day.

And so was the Cinema, for this week and every week (hopefully). Until next time on the 27th....Fin.
