Weekend Movie Guide: A Loser Weekend
I'm not particularly looking forward to seeing The A-Team -- err, I mean, The Losers this weekend, but it may be the best of a bad bunch. Oceans obviously looks amazingly cool, but I'm not completely on board with it's pro- to neutral position on sharks (aka, the serial killers of the sea). Subtitles will scare away many, but the brave will be rewarded by No One Knows About Persian Cats if they dare to see it (LAist review here).
After years of stealing from Asian cinema, it's nice to see that they occasionally steal from us, too (e.g. The Good, the Bad, the Weird). In My Sleep has promise in its premise, but it totally fails to deliver on it. The Back-up Plan looks cynical and evil. Avoid at all costs. You -- yes YOU -- can help stop Jennifer Lopez today! Are you planning to see Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D? If so, we probably aren't very close.
