We got four movies for you today. That’s right, four movies. Step right up and treat yourself to some laughs about a guy who might blow up. Or if that isn’t your bag, watch some uninteresting attractive people getting slaughtered. Still not what you want to see? How about some kids shaking their jazz hands in 3D. Okay, last chance; we’ve got a special deal on civil rights movies. Nothing intriguing you say? Well I can’t help that. I’m only the messenger.

Four movies hipcats. Four chances to sit in a dark room surrounded by strangers staring at a wall. You can choose to stare at stuff blowing up, stuff get tattled on, stuff being humorously switched around, or stuff getting stray hairs in its mouth. Good stuff.

Eight movies this week. Yes, eight. As in one above seven. As in three above five. As in twenty-six below thirty-something. Get ready for a long article. You’ve got a whole slew of choices including: kids & aliens, cowboys & aliens, couples & aliens, Saddam & aliens, time & aliens, murder & aliens, more murder & aliens, and blue & aliens. I hope you like aliens. Aliens.
Aliens.

Five movies. I guess Hollywood as a thing for the number five. It seems like every week five movies are being released. I suppose that’s good for choices, but I hate having to write so much. If you do want to go to the theatres this weekend (and aren’t watching Harry Potter again) you’ve a choice between these stylings: two good looking people sharing each other, the French rounding up Jews, the discovery of a new planet, a typical indie family thing, or yet another superhero movie.

Five movies again this week. You got your indie dramedy, your foreign movie, your kids cartoon, your religious comedy, and your epic mega super blockbuster. My guess is that everyone will be watching that Potter movie. Whatever that is…

Movies have a hard time coming up with good subtitles. I for one love a good subtitle, it adds so much nothing to a movie and yet it makes or breaks a film. Subtitles are pointless; they have a better chance of subtracting than adding, but damn if they aren’t amusing. It’s always interesting to see what a studio exec thinks is a good idea for an original subtitle, considering most subtitles are just “the Movie”. (Side note: do you really have to tell us it’s a film version of a property? I’m in a theatre; I don’t think I’m reading a comic book.) These are the failures of subtitling. And by failures I mean achievements. And by achievements I mean failures. Acting!
