Friday Freakout

Those Burger King freakout commercials get on my nerves for some reason. I guess because the main thing is that nobody in the commercials "freaks out". Most of the people just calmly look at them like they're idiots or say "let me see the manager" or something. If somebody pulls out an AK-47 and starts droppin' fools, now that's freaking out. It's not like the Whopper is some magical item anyways. How about this? "Oh, no Whopper anymore? Well, give me a burger with mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup and sliced onion." Guess what? THAT'S A WHOPPPER. If you want to really freak out look in the mirror at your butt after eating a bunch of that greasy, fast food crap regularly, that might freak you out.

So anyway, new movies out today! A couple of thrillers and a couple of comedies hit the jumbo screens.

Untraceable

The Plot: FBI agent Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane) races to identify and bring down a killer who flaunts his crimes on the Internet.
My Thoughts: Looks sort of fun, but they pretty much show the entire plot in the trailer. I hate it when they do that.



Rambo

The Plot: In Thailand, John Rambo (Sly Stallone) assembles a group of mercenaries and leads them up the Salween River to a Burmese village after hearing that a group of aid workers he assisted have gone missing.
My Thoughts: So Sly brought back Rocky Balboa successfully and the obvious next step to him was to bring back John Rambo. Works for me! It looks predictable, stupid and violent. I can't wait! Let's hope he doesn't bring back Nick Martinelli next. (that was his character in Rhinestone for those scoring at home)



How She Move

The Plot: A family tragedy forces a young student to drop out of her private school and return to her old neighborhood, where she eventually rediscovers her love of step dancing.
My Thoughts: Shouldn't this be "How She Moves?" Or is this like "We Got Game" where people don't actually have to speak correctly because it's so much more hip and cooler? This is as if Stomp The Yard and Bring It On had sex and had a baby. Looks absolutely horrible to me, but what do I know? The teen crowd will probably love it, because we all know being a good dancer can solve all the world's problems.

Meet The Spartans

The Plot: A parody of the movie 300 in which the heroic, leather-clad Leonidas leads 13 of his fellow Spartans in a campaign to defend their homeland from a Persian army that includes a hunchbacked Paris Hilton and many others.
My Thoughts: Most of these parody type movies like Date Movie or Epic Movie or Scary Movie all seems about the same to me. Maybe worth catching on a movie channel at some point down the line for some quick stupid laughs, but I'm sure not going to drop $8, before popcorn, to see it.
