I'm not gonna hurt ya...

Thanks to my job with its painful hours as of late, I haven't been able to see any movies or do anything cool this weekend. That's right, I had to pull two weekend shifts. Intense shite. Anywho, I can't comment on the quality of Zack and Miri Make a Porno, but all I can imagine is if Kevin Smith did it, it must be good. Everything he touches is brilliant; the dialogue, story and characters are memorable years after his films were released. Has anyone forgotten the piece about The Empire Strikes Back in Clerks? I think not. Or the line, "What the fuck is the internet?". Say I have bad taste, but I even partially enjoyed Jersey Girl.

Craig Robinson is one of the most underrated actors of today. You can quote me on that. Just based on his performance in "The Office", one can see he truly knows what he's doing. Anyone see the most recent episode on Thursday, the 30th? Apart from a hilarious interaction between Dwight and Andy and a creepy, "Why don't we put a little smile on that face?" from Creed, the interaction between Darryl (Robinson) and Michael (Steve Carrell) in the end scene was Oscar worthy... OK, fine, Emmy worthy. Point is, the man can act.

According to IMDB.com, High School Musical 3: Senior Year was the highest grossing film this weekend with an estimate of $15 million. The user rating of this movie on IMDB.com is a 3.3. Second place is Zack and Miri Make a Porno with $10.7 mil and an 8.0 rating. Third is Saw V with $10.1 mil and a 6.0 rating. This means for hundreds of thousands of people, the only horror they saw on Halloween was 112 min. of Disney induced torture. The difference between Saw V and HSM3SY? Not too much. Both will churn your insides and make you want to look away. Make the smart choice and say "No" to High School Musical 3.

I haven't seen Hot Shots part Deux so I had to look that up. As for the other, I could only guess Big, The Goonies, or perhaps Peter Pan.
