New Movies for the Jan 25 Weekend
Written by Natassia Finley
Friday, 25 January 2008
So the good news is that there are four new movies hitting theaters this week. The bad news is that the studios hid most of them from the critics-never a good sign. Oh well, there's always home DVD.
I suppose the biggest of this week's mediocre bunch of new films finds 61 year-old Sylvester Stallone returning to his roots with a new "Rambo" movie.
This time out John Rambo travels to Burma, where a small group of missionaries have been captured by a sadistic military commander. It's Rambo to the rescue.
In "Untraceable," a serial killer has started posting his murders online-- the more people who visit his website, the more people get killed. Diane Laneplays a secret service cyber crimes agent trying to track him down, only to find out that the killer has her on his cyber snuff list.
"How She Move" is the story of a young girl who uses step dancing as a way out of ghetto life. This is sort of a Canadian/Jamaican take on "Set it Off," where the acting is a bit melodramatic, but the dancing is a lot of high energy fun to watch.
"Meet the Spartans," an all out farce, reveling in silly-stupid humor and intent upon skewering recent films, most notably "300."
