• Fame

Yet another remake of an 80’s hit, and in my opinion, highly unnecessary. For those too young to know anything about the original Fame, it’s a musical about the lives of the students and staff at the New York City High School of Performing Arts. So basically a lot of shimmies, Spandex, spinning, and spirit fingers, right? That’s the image I have in my head. Once again, it’s one of those movies that’s catered to a certain audience so if you happen to be in that audience, you’re good. Kelsey Grammar and Megan Mullally (Will & Grace) are the big names in this, and I couldn’t tell you anything about the younger actors since I have no clue what else they’ve been in. I wouldn’t recommend this as a date movie unless you’re cool with having to slap your boyfriend awake to keep from snoring. That is, unless your boyfriend wears Spandex… but we won’t go there.

• Surrogates

Just when you thought Bruce Willis was too old to kick any more ass, he shows up in a new action flick to prove you wrong. The premise for this makes me curious enough to check it out, as Willis plays a cop in a futuristic world where humans live vicariously through their robotic counterparts. Sound complex? Check out the trailer. Reminds me a bit of Minority Report with all the future stuff, but the story isn’t exactly the same. I enjoyed that movie, so I might as well see what this one can offer. Always a fan of seeing how different writers and directors portray the future world.

Dennis Quaid, what are you doing? I get so confused by you because you show up in an action/adventure movie like G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, then a family comedy like Yours, Mine and Ours, then switch gears to do something a bit more dramatic/romantic, Smart People. I want to know, are you just taking any job that comes your way? Or do you have genre ADD? This time, you’re in a horror/thriller that takes place on a spaceship and it was produced by the same people that did the Resident Evil series. I’m honestly not sure how to feel about that, Mr. Quaid. Or Dennis, if I may. I hope that this makes a lot of money so that maybe you can take a break from your busy, random movie-making life. Love, Seena. P.S. Please tell your Pandorum co-star, Ben Foster, that I think he’s quite talented. Thanks.
