Summer is winding down which means we are leaving the "cool movie comes out every week" time of year and entering September, the "Month where bad movie go to die" time of year. It's a combination of everyone having disposed of their disposable income during the previous 3 months and high school and college kids being too busy with their new school year to worry about going to the movies. The result of this is that movie studios grab the cheesy pieces of celluloid that have been stinking up their shelves and toss them onto the screen. This means that we stop getting movies like The Dark Knight, Clone Wars and Hellboy 2 and start getting Babylon A.D., Death Race and The House Bunny. Around October the trend starts to reverse and we start getting things like murder mysteries and prestige films that their makers hope will be nominated for Oscars. All we movie fans can do is try to live with it. This year, though, will be especially hard. Why?
This movie comes out September 19 and I suspect a wave of depression to move across the planet shortly thereafter. Remember, world, I warned you back in May but you didn't listen.
