This weekend brings to end, in my opinion, one of the best “August” movie months in Hollywood history.
The summer movie season is traditionally supposed to slow down the output of blockbusters, throwing in those Hollywood films that just can’t compete with the likes of your TRANSFORMERS sequel, the pairing of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, etc. Basically, the month of August was a genius move for films like, DISTRICT 9, INGLORIOUS BASTEREDS, and now, THE FINAL DESTINATION, which is my FRIDAY MUST SEE FEATURE. Now, I already know that this movie won’t receive the best reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but, if you’re at all like me and you enjoyed any of the other DESTINATIONS, dare I say, why not shell out the 10 bucks to go see how the newest batch of teenagers will avoid death only to get killed off gruesomely one by one by unseen forces?
This series makes the case that death has a sense of humor AND it’s in 3-D. Sold yet? Do know that this film was penned by Eric Bess, who also wrote FINAL DESTINATION 2, my favorite entry in the series. I just finished my first week working in a high school. What better way to unwind this weekend then by watching annoying teenagers stalked by death, in 3D.
Disagree? Feel free to catch HALLOWEEN 2, TAKING WOODSTOCK the other films getting a wide release this weekend.
NOTE: This ended up being a tough choice, I am also planning on catching both HALLOWEEN 2 and TAKING WOODSTOCK so if you stray from my first suggestion, know that the other options this weekend also come endorsed from me.
