Making a derivative New Zealand version of Napoleon Dynamite is a bad idea. Meg Ryan's plastic surgery was really unsuccessful. The farcical films of Francis Veber aren't as cute as they think they are.
In other words, this week's regular collection of review links holds few surprises, aside from the fact that Vacancy - a lean, mean, efficient B-movie throwback - is surprisingly decent.
Today:
Vacancy (Slant magazine)
In the Land of Women (Slant magazine)
The Valet (Cinematical)
Goodbye Momo (Slant magazine)
After Today:
Eagle vs. Shark (Slant magazine)
Civic Duty (Slant magazine)
Diggers (Slant magazine)
The Hip Hop Project (Slant magazine)
Crazy Love (Slant magazine)
Finally, let me take this opportunity to point readers to the below write-up of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters, which is certainly the most bizarre new release currently playing - as well as one of the finest. Go in celebration of 4/20. Go because adult animation this stone-cold crazy needs to be supported. Go because, quite frankly, it rules.
Oh look, a caterpillar! Hello little caterpillar.
...
DESTROY IT!
