New Movies for the March 21 weekend Print E-mail

Three new movies come hopping in to town, just in time for the Easter weekend. Of course, none of the films have anything to do with the holiday, but happy Easter anyway, folks…

 

“Drillbit Taylor” is the story of three high school nerds who hire a guy to protect them from school bullies. Owen Wilson plays the guy, a loner con-man hoping to score some quick cash. But he doesn’t count on striking up a friendship with his three geeky protectees.

 

“Drillbit Taylor” is a hit and miss and miss comedy. Lightweight and breezy, and it’s nice to see Owen Wilson back on the big screen, but nobody’s going to mistake this for anything other than a mediocre retread of “My Bodyguard.”

 

In Tyler Perry’s “Meet the Brown’s” Angela Bassett plays a single mom who goes to Georgia for the funeral of her father—a man she’s never met. She’s also never met the Browns, dad’s crass but fun-loving family who might drive her crazy, but just might offer her a new lease on life as well.

 

And finally, “Shutter,” for those of you who wish that every holiday was Halloween.

Joshua Jackson plays an American photographer who goes to Japan for a fashion job, where he appears to accidentally kill a young woman while driving late one night. Now the woman’s ghost is popping up in all of his pictures, and the photographer’s wife thinks that the ghost may be looking for a little revenge.

 

So, nothing special at the movies this week, but lots of great stuff on home DVD, including the Oscar-nominated best picture “Atonement,” the enchanting family film, “Enchanted,” and a very good sci fi action flick from Will Smith, “I Am Legend.”

 

And that’s what’s new in theaters this week, I’m Sean McBride the movie guy for Newscenter 25.
