It's January and that means one thing: every Friday is a dumping ground for films the studios have no faith in. Up this week:
The Book of Eli
Directed by Albert and Allen Hughes
Starring Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman
What it's about: The world is a dust-bowl and despite the lack of food and water, the world's worst baddie (Oldman) really just wants the last Bible on the planet. He'll have to battle Mad Max, erm, Denzel to get it.
Nikita's thoughts: I'm conflicted--I like Denzel and Gary and the trailers don't look that bad, but I know that being released in January means it's probably a dog.
Rotten Tomatoes rating: 43% (Rotten)
The Spy Next Door
Directed by Brian Levant
Starring Jackie Chan, Billy Ray Cyrus, George Lopez
What it's about: Jackie Chan is a baby-sitting spy. Really.
Nikita's thoughts: I hate to be blunt...wait. No, I don't. There is no way this movie can be watchable.
Rotten Tomatoes rating: 4% (Toxic mold)
Opening in Limited Release:
Fish Tank
Expanding:
The Lovely Bones
