Indeed, just about every film out this week meets with a resounding "meh". The best of the bunch, which earns my coveted PICK OF THE WEEK distinction is an unlikely film to get recognized as such. It's:
The House Bunny
If for no other reason than the fact that Anna Faris is a riot in the otherwise average film, this works as a decent date night film.
-Also out on the average side we have Traitor, which had the potential to be really good, but ends up only being ok, The mediocre chick flick The Women, and the howlingly average third entry in the mummy flicks The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
-Mamma Mia is out as well, which some people enjoyed, but I found to be an incredibly painful experience...you be the judge.
-My vintage pick this week is the most realistic romance I have ever seen in a film. It's the film All The Real Girls. David Gordon Green is a poor man's Terrance Malik, and this film is like poetry, both visually and emotionally. It's definitely worth a shot for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
-What will you guys and gals be checking out this week?
