Wide Releases

The Ant Bully - Legendary pictures is releasing this movie. I have no idea where this production company came from, but they have been putting out a lot of movies lately . . . and here at BAFW . . . we like things that put out. This CG animated movie hopes to cash in on the parents and kids crowd this weekend who have already seen PotC:DMC (if you don't know what that stands for . . . then you need to walk the plank, arrRR!). But, will it make "Shrek" bank or will it make a miniscule ant-hill of a profit . . . who knows. I'm not all that interested in this. So, I'll be skipping this movie.

John Tucker Must Die - The only thing I know about this particular movie is that some dude is dating 3 chicks at the same time. Why he must die because of that is a mystery to me. Who wouldn't want to do this? I'm not entirely sure if he's actually banging these broads, but since it's a high school themed movie, I'm going to guess that's a big no. Expect to see a buncha teeny-boppers running in and out of this movie. Kids eat this stuff up like Amanda Bynes's feces.

Miami Vice - I'm not sure if I'm ready for a remake of the "classic" 80's television series . . . but it is Micheal Mann . . . the "Mann" (haha, get it) responsible for "Heat" and "Collateral", a couple of great movies that I enjoyed. I keep hearing great things about this on the radio, but those commercials always skew towards the positive. So, this one at least piques my interest as opposed to the other two wide releases. It might be good . . . who knows. Go watch it and let me know.
