If last week’s box office business is any indication, then the thriller/comedy “Lucky Number Slevin” should open somewhere in the bottom ten this weekend. That’s what happened to “Slither,” a far superior film when compared to the likes of “Ice Age: The Meltdown” and the other major breadwinners. This means that while “Take the Lead” and “Phat Girlz” (ye gods) probably won’t make a lot of change this weekend either, the latest Adam Sandler-produced “The Benchwarmers” will earn more money than it deserves. It’s not exactly fair, but since when has Hollywood treated the American public with any respect?

Everybody here at Premium Hollywood has had their say about the upcoming release of Sam Jackson’s “Snakes on a Plane,” including me, but with this weekend’s release of the James Gunn horror-comedy “Slither,” it looks like “SoaP” can no longer be called the next great cult film. It isn’t just the audiences that are loving it either. The film currently has an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (out of 65 reviews). “Slither” is everything that fanboys could only hope “SoaP” is, but with five more months to wait until it’s theatrical release, you might as well check out “Slither” in the meantime.
Also out this week: two horrible sequels (“Ice Age 2” and “Basic Instinct 2“), as well as a yet another urban rap drama (“ATL”). Seriously, how many more of these shitty movies are they going to make?
After two horrible months of bad movies, the first weekend of March is starting to look tolerable. Okay, so there’s still the Milla Jovovich sci-fi actioneer “Ultraviolet” to avoid, but besides that, there are a handful of good movies worth spending your hard-earned money on. Along with the first installment of the Russian fantasy trilogy, “Night Watch,” which goes into wide release this week, two new films about city blocks are opening: the Richard Donner-directed thriller “16 Blocks” and the Dave Chappelle documentary “Block Party.” Both movies will still only attract a certain audience, but they’re also both bound to surprise those who wouldn’t usually go to see them. Take a chance this week and check out one or the other. You’ll be pleasantly surprised…
To a little piggy bank in Box Office Heaven we like to call February. Four new candidates to rape you of your hard earned cash this week, including the romantic comedy spoof “Date Movie,” a movie that is apparently so bad that it wasn’t even screened for critics, the kidnapping thriller “Freedomland” that might as well have been called “The Forgotten 2: We Forgot We Already Made This Movie,” and the Disney based-on-true-events snow dog film, “Eight Below.” Sigh. The one glimmering hope of entertainment this weekend is in the semi-limited release of “Night Watch,” the first part of a Russian fantasy film that’s being hailed as Eastern Europe’s “Lord of the Rings.” A pretty hefty statement, but one that I’m excited to see nonetheless.
Ah yes, From Justin to Kelly, starring everyone’s favorite American idols Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini. Clarkson has since disavowed the project, but dammit, it’s one of those pieces of poo that you should sit down with and view while ingesting a few beers and tasty snacks. Clarkson’s always good eye candy, and Justin’s hair is too damn much! It’s true rock and roll, kids, and you know me likey that.
The plot is pointless. It’s Spring Break on Daytona Beach! Kelly’s workin’ in some dumpy-ass country bar dreaming of being a big time singer (more or less), and Justin and his buddies set up yearly parties and activities to help pay for their pad when school is in session. Of course, the two randomly bump into each other, but Kelly’s hussy southern belle bitch of a friend doesn’t think she’s party girl material for Justin and tries to sabotage their attempts at meeting over and over. Justin claims he’s not really a partying, multiple-sex partner kinda guy and really digs Kelly. See, I told you it was pointless.
And so are the songs! Man, during one slow tune, Justin and Kelly start singing telepathically to each other and then burst out into song. It’s beautiful. There’s also a cool scene later on in the movie where Justin has to play some sort of stupid hovercraft game in the ocean against a local yokel from Kelly’s hometown to prove his love for her! Then there’s also a shitty cover version of The Go-Gos “Vacation” playing over the opening credits as sung by Clarkson. Justin’s wild hairdo also gets wet twice!
It’s all too much and easy to see why Kelly scratched this one off her resume. But there’s enough so bad it’s good shit here to make it worth sitting through drunkenly at least once. Especially when the first musical number is nothing but an ode about getting it on sung by a beach full of horny kids all doing synchronized dance moves. What’s more, the DVD has two versions of the movie – the regular theatrical release and a longer one with two extra songs! I watched the longer one for maximum torture.
From Justin to Kelly was a fine ebay purchase for $1.99. With shipping and all it came to a little over three bucks. Anyway, we all know Kelly’s gone on to greater things, and Justin…well, his website is pretty bleak. Let’s just say he’s probably hoping for a sequel. Ah well, maybe he’ll get his own pinball game. That would be awesome.
