New in Theaters This Week
First up we have Race to Witch Mountain, dreadful if you ask me but if you have kids and are looking for an afternoon they may enjoy the matinee. It's got action, aliens, and The Rock, it just didnt put the pieces together well enough. Unfortunatley this one will probably take the top spot for the weekend knocking Watchmen down a notch or two.
Next is the horror remake Last House on the Left. I can tell you the original was disturbing and disgusting. I haven't seen this one yet so I can't speak to it's merits but I'm hearing that it maintains the level of brutality that the original was famous for. If you're looking for a cheap scare and some outright gore porn then this is your pick for the weekend.
On a lighter note we have Miss March. The story of a young man who wakes up from a coma to find that his high school sweetheart is now a playboy playmate. Seeing as how he never sealed the deal with her, he and a friend go on a journey to the Playboy mansion to show up and rock her world...sounds plausible...right? This one is sure to have some good if not cheap laughs and will be mostly for the juvenile male crowd. This flick also earns the distinction of winning this weeks "Surefire Flop" award.
