The release to see this week is Werner Herzog's incredible Rescue Dawn. But for those craving a mindless popcorn movie, there are two new crummy ones hitting theaters that are sure to help augment one's depression over the state of mainstream Hollywood filmmaking. Thanks, Michael Bay and Robin Williams!
Out This Week:
Transformers (Slant magazine)
License to Wed (Slant magazine)
Evening (Cinematical)
Macbeth (Slant magazine)
Out After This Week:
2 Days in Paris (Slant magazine)
Delirious (Slant magazine)
I'm still quite shocked that I actually liked Transformers (tell me, have I been secretly ousted from the Slant community yet as a result? ^_^), but in a way I think that my doing so is just as much of an insult to Bay nonetheless. It's like saying "Good boy, play with your toys, that's all you're good at." As for License to Wed, though...I think I'd be flogging myself as we speak if I'd found some value in that thing.

Yup, you're out. Paging Showtime at the Apollo's clown-with-giant-hook!
My third-grade self really wishes I loved Transformers. My 30-year-old self, however, just can't find a way to.
No inner conflict over License to Wed, though. Dear sweet Jebus, that movie is terrible.
