Weekend Cheat Sheet: Blood and Chocolate, Catch and Release, Epic Movie, Smokin’ Aces and the Oscar Movies

January 26th, 2007 · No Comments

Lots of stuff this weekend.

Blood and Chocolate

The Players: Writer Ehren Kruger (The Ring, Scream 3)
The Story: Young female teenage werewolf must deal with the tension between her loyalty to the pack and her love for a boy.
Rotten Tomatoes: 20% (not screened, just 8 reviews so far)
Trailer

But, but, it has teenage werewolves! So it has to be good, right?

Catch and Release

The Players: Jennifer Garner
The Story: Women whose fiancee dies struggles to deal with zzzzzzzzzzzz…
Rotten Tomatoes: 24%
Trailer

Perhaps it would be best to stay away from films with "and" in the title this week.

Epic Movie

The Players: Directors/Writer Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. Kal Penn and Crispin Glover!!!!!
The Story: Yeah, right. Story. That's funny.
Rotten Tomatoes: No reviews yet.
Trailer

Yet another satirical take about a certain movie genre. This time the EPIC movie. Remember Airplane? Remember how funny that was? What happened?

Smokin' Aces

The Players: Director/Writer  Joe Carnahan (Narc), Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Andy GarciaAlicia Keys (?!), Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven and Ryan Reynolds.
The Story: A bunch of assassins try to take out Aces, who has turned snitch.
Rotten Tomatoes: 29% (tough week)
Trailer

Joe Carnahan is hot right now, and he already has a bunch of projects lined up in the next few years. This movie apparently is not so hot, and a wasted opportunity.

The Oscar Movies

This week sees expansions of Volver, Notes on a Scandal and the re-release of The Departed. So, go see some good movies!
