The 7 Word Weekend Review 07/02/10

New movie releases reviewed in 7 words each

Love Ranch (limited) - Sounds like a cheesy 70's television program.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse - I think everyone knows how I feel.

The Last Airbender - Dear America, please don't see this film.

Maybe that's harsh. But I've said it elsewhere though so it only seems right I say it here. Shyamalan's last good film in my opinion was Signs. If we could erase from memory history the stream of bad films that came thereafter maybe I could remember what it felt like to be anticipating a new film from him. Mind you that has nothing to do with how I feel about his new movie. The Last Airbender doesn't look interesting to me as a stand alone film even without bias. For all I know it could be the square root of awesomeness. Though I doubt it. Really, I just hope no one goes to see it. Because if it's a success, then he'll get to make more movies. Do you want another The Village or The Happening, plaguing the multiplexes? Of course not, you're good people. So remember this holiday weekend, buying a ticket is casting a vote in Hollywood, so vote no on proposition yes.

As far as Twilight goes, yesterday I featured a story about a bulimic vampire. At this points any other digs I might take at it could be considered slightly overdoing things. Although I do love the fact that it wasn't a top trending topic on twitter. 

As it's the 4th this weekend, I'm not going to recommend any rentals to watch (though if you're going to watch something, Yankee Doodle Dandy is a family favorite for the fourth). There be fireworks people. What better entertainment then that? 

And to those of my friends up north, a belated happy Canada Day!

Have a great weekend everyone.
