I never met a weekend that makes me feel the way that you do (you’re NOT alright)
Whenever I’m asked what films that make me feel worse, I say that these do (you’ll cry all night)

The notorious February 10th weekend is officially here, coming with it four new films, including the animated adaptation of the classic children’s book series “Curious George” and the third installment of the horror franshise “Final Destination 3.” Also out this week is the Steve Martin sure-to-flop-so-hard-it-leaves-theaters-in-under-a-fortnight “The Pink Panther” and the paint-by-numbers Harrison Ford thriller “Firewall.” Both of these films could have been released anytime during the beginning of the year, or even sometime in August, and no one would have even noticed. “FD3,” however, is currently receiving a 63% on Rotten Tomatoes and has the backing of all my film critic colleagues.

With the notorious February 10th film weekend only a week away, we could only hope that there’s an excellent film just waiting to take our minds off this subject. Unfortunately, this weekend at the movies won’t be much different from the next, or the next, or the next, for that matter. This weekend brings only two new films in wide release, the urban comedy “Something New,” and a remake of the thriller “When A Stranger Calls.” Not exactly box office magic material.

Also out this week, but in limited release, is the teen horror flick “Tamara,” as well as two indie hits starring verteran actors: Tommy Lee Jones in “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada” and Anthony Hopkins in “The World’s Fastest Indian.”
